Finally got my hair done after much debate on what to do! Thanks to you guys and your twitter advice and votes I decided to go for a very subtle ombre look. I informed my stylist, Rene at Spoilt Salon in Greenpoint, that I was super nervous about changing my hair color since I have been a full blown "black beauty" forever! She assured me that she wouldn't change too much, keeping it natural at the top. I have been to so an array of local hair salons in the past few months and after each consultation I was left feeling anxious and chickened out thats probably why I have taken so long to change my color! Thanks to Rene I am the happiest girl enjoying all the confidence and compliments coming my way. She is certainly the best stylist to touch my hair, since we have a mutual love for Kim Kardashian I trust her even more with my locks.
She did a color treatment before and after dying my hair. The color lifted really well which I was super surprised about.
Tips to getting your perfect do:
- Do your research:
Find as many photographs as possible of the look you're going for. I trawled Facebook for pictures of friends and celebrities. I showed Rene pictures of the color and cut I'd like to go for, she was really good at interpreting my research into something that worked for me
- Consult:
Speak to as many stylists as possible. If you're feeling uneasy about the salon or the stylist keep looking. I checked out 3 or 4 Salons before finding Spoilt Hair&Beauty. I asked friends and family for referrals.
- Speak up:
Let your stylist know exactly what you want and how you're feeling. I told Rene how nervous I was about going from black to a lighter brown thus she was able to calm my nerves and get the results I wanted. I also asked her advice on how to keep my hair moisture filled and looking good post-salon.
Let me know what you think of my new do!

| Rene got rid of spilt ends, added moisture and gave me a color boost at the lengths of my hair. She also added volume by feather layering the front lengths framing my face. She blow dried it with a big round brush and finished off with Moroccan oil to add shine. |

I had an ombre look years ago and would really like to try it again once my hair's grown out a bit more.
The new colour and coif looks good on you :)
Look great! & thanks for the review on Spoilt, looks lovely, will definately try and pay them a visit!
Your ombre looks pretty doll! I like how subtle it is.
I've had ombre hair for over a year and I just love how low maintenance is (besides a monthly treatment) but chic!
