What a change like this involves

Every one of these was done in the client's own home. How far the colour can move in one sitting depends on what is already on the hair, how it has been coloured before, and how it holds up while we work. Send a photograph with your enquiry and Amina will tell you honestly what is possible in one visit and what needs two.
