There’s something timeless about curtain bangs paired with rich, cool-toned brunette hair—and this transformation is a perfect example of why.
When this client came in, she had beautiful long hair, but her highlights had pulled very warm and were fighting her skin tone instead of flattering it. The goal was clear: cool everything down, add dimension, and frame her face with soft, modern curtain bangs—all without compromising the health of her hair.
Here’s where my approach matters. With long hair, I’m always thinking about the long game. Every round of harsh, ammonia-based color is another round of stress on hair that’s taken years to grow. So instead of putting her through another aggressive process, I reached for Redken Shades EQ, an ammonia-free, demi-permanent gloss that corrects tone while actually conditioning the hair.
I used a custom combination formula to neutralize those warm highlights and shift her overall color into a cooler, more sophisticated brunette. The result? Tone that finally complements her complexion, plus the kind of glassy, reflective shine that only healthy hair can hold. The curtain bangs tie it all together—flattering on nearly every face shape, and they grow out beautifully with no awkward in-between stage.
This is the philosophy behind my color work: gorgeous, intentional color that protects your hair rather than punishing it. Whether you’re dealing with brassy highlights, want a fresh curtain bang cut, or you’re ready for a full color correction, I’d love to help you get there.
