"My natural hair color, as I'm getting older, is becoming dull," says Lisa, 42. "I�m also starting to see a spattering of gray throughout the hairline. My stylist always seems to do a great job with the highlights, but I'm not opposed to a fresh, new perspective," she continues. As for her haircut, she wants something subtly new, not too drastic and a shape that will flatter her face. "I've tried going shorter, but that was a disaster. With a full face, it was not flattering. I have a lovely photo book that clearly depicts that."

The color
"We need to break up Lisa's color, so it doesn't look so monotone," says Moreno. "I want to bring out the rich dark tones in her eyes so I'm going to go a bit more chocolaty with her color," she continues. As for those new pesky grays: "We are going to lighten just her hairline, around the face, so that when grays grow in it is less noticeable and the color is more naturally transitional," says Moreno.
To maintain Lisa's new color, Moreno urges her to only wash with lukewarm water and color-protecting shampoo and conditioner.
Working mom Lisa is starting to see pesky grays sprout through her highlighted strands and, to no surprise, isn't thrilled about it. To help mask them, and put some fun and style back into her look, we called on our makeover team at the Warren-Tricomi salon in Los Angeles, Calif., which includes hairstylists Whitney Olson and Reanna Garcia, colorists Jherra Moreno and Ashleigh Childers, and celebrity makeup artist and co-founder of the Luxe Beauty Team Amy Hollier. See how a face-flattering trim and rich wash of color take years off this busy mom's face.
