"Easy maintenance" and "professional" were the keywords for busy mom of three Lucy, who also works full time as an assistant facilities manager. Damage from overprocessing left her hair frizzy and mousy. The right cut with warmer color gave her a polished look that was also vibrant.
Name: Lucy
Age: 40
Occupation: Assistant facilities manager; mother of three
As a busy mother of three who works full-time, Lucy wanted a look that was professional yet easy to maintain. She has been covering her gray "for years," she says, so long that she doesn't remember the natural color of her hair, but she does know "it was mousy." She asked the stylists and colorists to have fun creating her new look and to feel free to remove her long curls, which were dry from over-processing.
Makeover created by: Vidal Sassoon Salon, Crown Building, 730 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
Stylist Martyn decided to cut the damage and remove the weight from Lucy's hair to draw attention to her eyes and youthful smile.
Colorist Moran chose to give Lucy a warm, deep chocolate shade all over. Here, she applies the color to Lucy's roots.
Lucy sits at a machine that speeds the chemical action of the hair dye; this high-tech "dryer" is used for many different chemical processes, including perms.
