Now that the sun is shining and we’re spending more time outdoors, I was feeling like I needed a new look. I needed some blonde highlights in my life to help me look a little more sun kissed than I actually am at this point. Since I was short on time, I thought I’d just pick up a box of color from Target (why do I do this to myself??) and try it at home.
Ask me how that went…
Awful. It went awful.
After I was done, my husband asked me if I had even put any color on the roots of my hair.
*Blank stare* Really?!
Sooo, long story short, I had to recruit some expert help to fix my hot mess of an at-home highlight attempt. The fabulous Kayla Vanderziel (at Spark Salon in Maple Grove) did, and always does, an amazing job.
Excited updates took place on Instagram (@MNhousewives)
She took a couple before pictures so that I wouldn’t be tempted to quit my day job and become a full time highlights-from-a-box specialist… Oye. Be careful guys, what I’m about to show you contains some graphic images…
Box hair highlights – don’t try this at home.
It was bad.
So. Bad.
So I won’t be doing that again. I was even a little worried that I might have gone a little too crazy and she wouldn’t be able to fix it. Thank goodness that wasn’t the case. She even gave me a little hydration boost so all those crazy looking split ends were tamed. Hallelujah!
I love going to Kayla because she’s just always happy and upbeat, not to mention knowledgable! I save all my hair questions for her then quiz her like crazy because she just knows her stuff! Plus, she whipped up a concoction for my hair faster than you could say ‘bad hair day’.
BONUS: She also does wedding hair!!!
I wish I would have known about Kayla when I got married. I would have had her style my hair, hands-down. She does amazing updos and just simply put, she knows what she’s doing.
My wedding hair was miserable (le sigh), and it’s definitely reflected in the photos that I will look at forever and ever. So don’t make that mistake, choose someone wisely.
Set up your next appointment, and be sure to ask for Kayla V! 🙂
