Hi, I’m Sylvia, the newest colourist to join the mariadowling team. Super excited to have the chance to take-over our monthly newsletter for November.
Read on for some facts about me, who’s hair I’m crushing on this month, and my favourite hair products, all available from mariadowling salon.
Five things you should know about me:
1. I’m a total beach bum, and making the most of my days off on the beach;
2. I have a British Bulldog called Herbie;
3. I am totally addicted to travelling;
4. I’ve visited five of the seven Wonders of the World! Five down, two to go – The Pyramids and Macchu Pichu;
5. I love the casual/boho look, and hate appearing overdressed or like I have spent 3 hours getting ready (although secretly sometimes I do!).
I have a celebrity hair crush on Jessica Alba. I love her gorgeous light brown/dark blonde colour with soft waves.
I specialise in lifting dark hair lighter, with no red tones. As a natural dark brown myself, I’ve spent my life obsessing over achieving a lighter look that is rich, not brassy. I particularly love doing brunette balayage - sun kissed locks with cooler caramels.
My go-to product of the moment has to be Kerastase Elixir Ultime Beautifying Oil Cream. You can use it to tame fly away hair, or when applied to wet hair it gives a super softening effect.
It’s also completely weightless and has a very fine glitter inside of it to add shine to the hair. Everyone should have some!
Trend Alert!
I’m seeing more of a softer look on the dark to light hair trend. We are still seeing super natural and effortless roots but now the divide is softer, and we’re breaking up the root area and taking it from multi-tonal dark to multi-tonal light.
