PATTY MARTIN’S UBER-CHIC OMBRE COLOR IN STUFF MAGAZINE!

Colorist Patty Martin is always inspired to learn new techniques; in fact, she was just in Berlin doing color education (and seeing the sights of course). One hot trend we’re just starting to see on celebrities is ombré color, where there is a gradual fading effect from a darker root to lighter, sun-kissed ends. Not only is this a fashion-forward look, but it allows for less maintenance since hair is closer to the natural color at the root. Stuff Magazine knows what’s up; they just featured an example of Patty’s gorgeous work on model Jeri Evan.

Here’s the write-up, via Stuff’s site:
“Punks are great at smashing rules. (Other things they’re great at smashing: hotel rooms, cops’ jaws, and guitars.) So leave it to the rock-chic crew at Shag (840 Summer Street, South Boston, 617.268.2500) for brilliantly reinventing a one-time hair faux pas: showing roots. No, they don’t promote trashy two-tone hair with frightening growth lines. Instead, they purvey the presently trendy ombré look: a soft gradation from natural color at the root to a lighter, brighter shade at the tip. (Think Sarah Jessica Parker or Madonna.) We’re fans because the look is subtle, adds depth to the original hue, and requires less upkeep than traditional highlights. Which means more money for Pabst and Cheetos, of course.”
