The work Color, on real hair.

Long hair with heavy copper brass through the lengths. Rudy corrected the brass into a soft caramel that melts from a deep brown root, cut it into a shoulder-length bob, section by section, and finished it with a round-brush blow-dry so it swings smooth.

Long hair with brassy, uneven ends and no shape. Rudy refreshed the color and took the length to a precise lob, cut section by section, so the honey tones land at the ends and the shape moves on its own.

A deeper, glossier brunette: a touch-up at the root and a gloss through the lengths, then soft shoulder-length layers that frame the face and move.

She came in with over-lightened, brittle platinum. Rudy brought depth back at the root, melted it into an ash bronde through the lengths, cut away the damage and finished with a bond-building treatment, for long waves that look soft, healthy and lived-in.

Dark brunette with grown-out lighter ends, taken to a bright, face-framing blonde. Foils placed around the face put the brightness where it shows, a toner cleaned it up to a soft golden blonde, and long, rounded layers finished it. In her words: “The color was exactly what I wanted. Ten out of ten.”

Two inches of grey regrowth, blended back into a warm, bright blonde, then long layers and curtain bangs to give it movement.

Caramel balayage melted through a deep brunette base, cut in long face-framing layers and finished in loose curls.

Warm honey through a natural brunette, cut into long layers that frame the face.

Caramel ribbons that begin at the face and melt into long, soft layers.

Fine caramel ribbons around the face and through the ends of a rich brunette, so the color moves when she does.

A warm golden blonde on a polished bob, with a long side-swept fringe that falls into place.

Bright blonde pieces at the face over a softer dark blonde, on a clean shoulder-length cut.

Long bronde hair cut in seamless layers and blown out smooth, with a soft lift at the face.

Honey highlights woven through shoulder-length hair, brightest at the face and soft at the root.

Long layers on deep black hair, blown out with volume.

Deep, glossy brunette with a full, bouncy blowout.

Soft ribbons of light through long brunette waves, made to grow out gracefully.

An even, luminous blonde on a long bob, with a soft root that grows out gently.

Brightness from root to ends on long layers, glossed to a soft beige blonde.

Easy shapes and gentle face-framing for younger clients.

Warm copper ribbons through a brunette base, finished in loose, glossy curls.
