So I've always had plain brown hair. I used to dye it with the Do It Yourself kits but it was always just that same old straight colour of brown. I recently reconnected with an old high school friend Candace. She owns Lather Salon in Kensington. I went in for my usual "just a trim" and she managed to convince me to add a little dimension and depth to my hair colour. AND she talked me in to adding coppery blonde colour of all things!! While it's not a super noticable difference, I absolutely love it and will be more brave from now on!

Thanks Candace!!
