If you’re anything like us, lately, your hair has been pulled up into a bun as you prepare for bikini season and don’t even notice what shade your color is at the moment. However, just like heading to the gym during winter to prepare for summer, the same rings true of your hair.

This year, as your clients grace your chair for a brand new style, give them a great new color instead!
