Peekaboo hair color for the holidays

This morning my client Mia came in for her yearly color, a color that will last and fade gracefully over the next twelve months. A tall order for a Saturday morning, but a welcome challenge. So, I took tiny slices along a Mohawk parting alternating between a light golden blond and light caramel brown. Then I drew and applied color to giant triangles of the same colors below the parting. As the color grows out she will have no visible roots where the triangles are and very little at the top. The big triangles of color create sort of a peekaboo effect that you can see when I pulled her hair behind her ear.
