The Road to Healthy Asian Blonde

Have you heard the news? Blonde hair color for Asian women is IN!

The time for adventurous Asian hair color has arrived, and as a hair stylist, I couldn’t be more thrilled. And while this is exciting news, I don’t want us to rush going blonde too fast, and forget about hair health. When taking Asian hair to a blonde color it can take two to four sessions to get the color just right. Think about it this way: on the hair color spectrum platinum is 10 and black is 1. Asian hair tends to range between 1 and 3. When you process, you should only go up by 3 to 5 levels in the spectrum so that your hair remains healthy. Of course, there are amazing hair saving products like Olaplex that we can add on to your color service, but it’s important to not forget your basics of coloring.

I have a wonderful client, Janice, who has been with me since June 2014. She started out with black hair on the spectrum at a 2, and her goal was a golden blonde ombre. Here's Janice before we started:

To accomplish her brilliant blonde, I did 6 color services over the span of 3 months. We built the color up over time, and trimmed her hair every other session.  We have finally gotten to our golden destination, and now we just upkeep her hair with partials and mini express services.

The proof is in the picture! Just look at that beautiful, healthy, blonde hair! It glows! You’ve got to trust the process, and not rush it so that your hair remains healthy and vibrant for the long haul. Give us a call if you are interested getting your blonde on!

Style story: Morphic + Tooth-n-Nail

Recently, Morphic had the great pleasure of working with the amazing Adrienne Moore, jewelry designer behind San Francisco's own Tooth-n-Nail. Adrienne is known for her distinct, whimsical, and one-of-a-kind designs rich with boho, seaside, and 70′s glam. These naturalistic wonders have something for everyone, ranging from the tiniest of treasures to the boldest of bad-ass belly-length armor.

Adrienne’s distinct style inspired a shoot drawing from the elements of the world being bonded together through sisterhood. Check it out!

Holiday Beauty at Morphic!

Seasons Greetings Morphic Beauties!

The Holidays are finally upon us, and do you know what that means? Holiday parties!

Let us make you and your girlfriends the belles of the ball with customized hair & makeup. If you need a little inspiration, check out these looks Mishi and Emi created!

MORPHIC BEAUTY: KESNIA

Emi was inspired by Kesnia's fair skin to create a flawless complexion. Even winter skin can have a sun kissed glow, just in a softer version! On her eyes, Emi went for a smokey sultry in a palette of matte blacks and grays highlighted with pale blush tones. It's high impact, without being over the top. To add a little holiday spirit, a pop of light silver shimmer covers the almond shape of the lid, and in the inner corners of the eye. It's paired with a cranberry red lip to really give that festive touch. 

Bolder makeup called for simpler hair, so Mishi polished off Kesnia's look with a great natural-looking wave that'll look great all night. Fabulous, don't you think? 

MORPHIC BEAUTY: ADITI

On Aditi,  Emi wanted to create something more toned down. This look proves that you can make a more natural version of a smokey eye! Her amazing full lips are finished with a berry mauve. 

To balance the more natural tones of the face, Mishi took the great texture of Aditi's long and dark locks into full-curl mode, creating a full head of thick, amazingly touchable ringlets. 

INSPIRED YET? YOU SHOULD BE! 

Bring in your holiday inspiration and we’ll create a version of makeup that is customized to you.

Let Morphic make you beautiful for your special event this holiday season! Can't wait to see you! 

Olaplex

olaplex info updated as of 2016

Have you heard of Olaplex yet?

We want to make sure you're always getting the latest in haircare technology, so we couldn't overlook this new industry bad boy. This is the perfect product when you want to go blonde, or when you want to sport a color that only exists in a crayola box. Say goodbye to fried hair forever!

How does it work?
There are three parts to getting your hair bleached to perfection. Olaplex 1 & 2 are taken care of in the salon and will eliminate breakage from your color service. First, the Bond Multiplier is mixed with the lightner. After all hair coloring is finished and rinsed, the Bond Perfector is added for 5 mins to seal the deal.

Olaplex 3 is a take-home product for you to use once a week to strengthen hair further. It can also be used as a pre-treatment for future chemical services.

What’s so great about Olaplex?
Free of silicone or oils, Olaplex links broken bonds in the hair during and after chemical services making them stronger than they were before.

Will it work for my hair texture?
YES!  Its works for Asian, Caucasian, Latina, African American, previously chemically processed and virgin hair.

How can you add it to your service?
You can have it as an add on service, a royale, or as a stand alone.
