Hello, glamazons! I've embarked on a journey of self-discovery where I aim to push myself further and to say yes to things outside my comfort zone. so far, so good. If you saw my old pictures, you would definitely notice the difference. For me, that is growth... I've finally learned to embrace change in my life and to love different versions of myself.

  I joined the MBEX last year and said yes to fire engine red hair (New Hair, New Life post). It was bold, fun, and unique. I said yes to everything-- even full bangs! I enjoyed the experience so much that I just had to do it again.

  This time, I wanted a totally different look and Buddy Congson of Hairs and Nails Salon is definitely one of the country's best, so I signed up for a makeover!

  Initially, I just wanted a blonde, Beyonce-inspired look but then just decided to let Buddy have his way with my hair and I'm definitely glad I did.

  I really love Buddy's work and this is actually my first time to experience his famous Balayage technique and I love how the transition of colors makes it less hard to maintain because the roots are darker and the change of color is not as abrupt as just using one color--which is often what I go for. He also explained why it is essential to use Olaplex during the process to avoid damaging the hair.  He even showed me how my hair retained it's elasticity while bleaching. Below are behind the balayage scenes. This look was completed in 6 hours total so for those looking to have a similar hairstyle done, it would be prudent to arrange an appointment first.
