Featuring Joico Global Brand Ambassador and Artistic Director, Larisa Love
After a decade-old color disaster, the beautiful brunette hadn’t let anyone touch her hair. Until, that is, she met Joico Global Brand Ambassador and Artistic Director, Larisa Love, who enthusiastically recreated the client’s Selena Gomez-inspo photo and delivered a gorgeous blonde balayage transformation – all captured on Refinery29’s Hair Me Out channel. Check out the glam, here!
Captured on video…
When client, Katarina Hernandez, sat down in Larisa’s chair, she explained her ten-year journey to get the right hair color, and brought along a recent Selena Gomez-inspired blonde look for reference. Larisa, who specializes in big transformative color, knew this trending look of low-maintenance, modern luxury was just the ticket to brighten up Katarina’s brunette hair. (And fans of Refinery29 clearly agreed, because the finished look has been trending — big time! – on their channel.)
Using Joico’s Blonde Life and LumiShine, Larisa created a look that complemented Katarina’s light olive complexion. “Cool tones will wash her out. But this warm beige gives a gorgeous gradual blend that melts down to the ends.”
“I absolutely love the color. Larisa is such a genius because she just matched it perfectly to my undertones.” — Client Katarina Hernandez

Bring inspo photos: A picture is worth a thousand words – Selena’s photo served as instant visual reference so Larisa could understand what her client had in mind.
Talk about skin tone: Properly customizing color -- cool tones or warm tones – to your own complexion is the key to beautiful results.
Discuss length and style: Larisa physically showed her client how much she’d be cutting, and also explained how long curtain bangs would show off her cheekbones.
