At-Home Makeovers … Lauren Messiah Style {Part 2}


Last week I was coloring School of Style’s Office Manager, Kat’s hair with Clairol Professional ‘Classic Collection’ in a nice deep classic brown for fall. I promised the big reveal this week, so here it comes.image-5You can’t have a big reveal without going back to the beginning now can you? Kat’s hair started out as a duller shade of brown and lacked some serious love and attention. Kat is one of the few women in the world who actually hates going to the hair salon. So my at home makeover was right up here alley. And because Kat is so deserving, I decided to go ahead and give her a total makeover. I’m talking hair, makeup, and clothes. Woo hoo!

BEFORE:image-7We obviously started with the color, you can read about the whole process here. After I did my at-home dye magic, I sent her to the salon for a quick trim and some long layers. Kat refused to cut more than an inch off (hey, some ladies just love their long hair) so adding the layers really helped add some dimension to her do. IMG_4528We played around with a center part, added some curls, and my assistant Anna teased her hair to give it a little oomph. Oh and in case you were wondering, Anna is not a trained professionals but apparently ‘Steel Magnolias’ taught her all she needed to know.

AFTER:IMG_4509RTFor the wardrobe I kicked it up a notch with a pencil skirt from H&M, a jeweled top fro TopShop, and some wedges by Maison Martin Margiela for H&M. A budget-friendly ensemble for this 23 year old working girl. For the accessories we opted for a pair of statement earrings, a bangle, and a studded headband.photo 1

How amazing does Kat look? I love, love, love the darker hair color on her. So perfect for fall. Clairol Logo
