Before and Afters we love!

There's something so satisfying about a great transformation delivered in a before-and-after picture! These are some of our favorite before-and-afters done by our wildly talented stylists at Honeycomb Salon in Corvallis, Oregon!

Back to her roots <3. Our stylist Mallory Gilstrap (@mallorygilstrap) brought her client back to her natural level of darkness. We love the dimension that Mallory was able to add to this tint back to natural. Did you know that going from Blonde to Dark can be more challenging than Dark to Blonde in many ways? It's not as simple as just picking a color and putting it on the hair. When hair has been lightened it has been depleted of it's natural warmth, so coloring back to a darker shade can actually look drab, muddy, and matte. But have no fear, stylists like Mallory know how to get you back to dark beautifully. This depth, dimension, and richness of the color is a representation of Mallory's talent in coloring.

Chop chop and a splash of pink. This before-and-after is compliments of Honeycomb Salon owner Alicia Brown (@alicia.the.alchemist). This haircut length was a really fun change for this client. Side note, did you know that all the hair cut off during your hair appointment at Honeycomb Salon is sent to a company that creates hair mats to absorb oil spills in our waterways! Back on track - Alicia balayaged this client's hair to create lighter pieces for the blush pink color to shine on. This soft pink color can even be maintained at home with our Viral shampoo. Make sure to follow up with a deep conditioner to replenish lost moisture and protein which can happen when playing with color.

Another one of our favorite hair cut and color before and afters! This before-and-after was also created by Mallory Gilstrap. This new length is so flattering (Make sure to check out our previous post, Mid-Length Hair, Don't Care for most mid-length haircut inspiration!) and that fresh blonde is just the icing on the cake.
It's amazing what a few hours in the salon can do. Imagine coming into the salon in the early afternoon, drinking your mimosa, sitting by the windows overlooking Downtown Corvallis, listening to good music, enjoying a scalp massage at the shampoo bowl and emerging two hours later with a fresh look that you love! You can make an appointment for that! :)

So many great hair cut transformations, but we have to share this transformation adding length too! Alicia Brown used Hand Tied Extensions to add 18.5" inches of length to this client. Honeycomb Salon offers four different methods of hair extensions including I-Tip, Tape-In, Fusion, and of course, Hand Tied Wefts. We believe in offering different methods so that we have a solution for every challenge. Whether you're just wanting a pop of color, or you're wanting to add dramatic length, or density to thinning hair, we have a method of extensions for you. Transformations via extensions are some of our favorite because of the instant confidence and happiness our guests experience in just a few short hours.

Talk about a color transformation! Go big or go home. This dark to platinum transformation also took place in Alicia Brown's chair. Two lightening sessions in one day got Alicia and her client to their desired platinum level. Alicia always recommends deep conditioning treatments in between each lightening session to restore protein and moisture to the hair. She also used Redken pH Bonder with her color during the process which is a bond protector. i.e. Insurance policy for your hair when doing big transformations or coloring over previously color hair and hair prone to breakage.

This was such a fantastic read, truly hitting the nail on the head with your insights on the 'afters' phase. You've managed to be both bold and remarkably accurate about this often-overlooked aspect of things https://bots.ondiscord.xyz/lists/SDJclliI8 What really stands out to me, beyond the excellent advice itself, is the idea of adding this to a team knowledge base. That’s a brilliant suggestion for fostering shared understanding and growth. I have to admit, I've made pretty much every beginner mistake imaginable with 'afters love' in the past, so I genuinely appreciate this guide https://www.ausbanking.org.au/ It feels like a much-needed roadmap. I'm also particularly struck by the sustainability angle you introduced; it’s definitely worth considering how we can approach these situations in…
This post really resonated with me, especially the idea of needing a clearer understanding of "afters love" for those just diving in. I've often found myself wishing for a glossary of sorts, defining all the nuances and stages involved https://bots.ondiscord.xyz/lists/w8hZcpT0P It would certainly smooth the learning curve for newcomers to navigate this complex emotional landscape. Honestly, I save very few guides, but this is definitely one I'll be revisiting often. It's so spot-on https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/scrutiny-of-influencers-and-businesses-for-misleading-advertising-and-online-reviews-continues My own journey with afters love has seen a significant shift recently; I've completely re-evaluated my approach based on experiences that felt both challenging and incredibly rewarding.

Wow, this post really hit me in a good way! You’ve offered such a lowkey, yet totally fresh angle on what makes these "afters love" transformations so compelling. It’s more than just the visual change, isn't it? For what it's worth, I genuinely believe this perspective deserves a much wider audience https://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/ The community aspect you touched upon has also been a significant part of my own journey with appreciating these kinds of reveals. Seeing how others engage and share their own experiences truly enriches the whole experience. And I especially appreciate you highlighting the workflow integration; that’s a seriously underappreciated aspect of making these projects come to life. It's easy to overlook the practicalities when the end result is…
Wow, this post has genuinely shifted my perspective on what "afters love" can truly mean. I've always thought of it more as a fleeting excitement, but your exploration of its deeper, more enduring qualities really resonated https://lightroom.adobe.com/u/wildtornadoaus It makes me wonder how someone can accurately gauge if this kind of connection is the right path for them, especially when the initial spark might fade. I'm incredibly grateful for this insightful read; it's definitely earned a permanent spot in my go-to resources https://www.counsellingonline.org.au/ The way you've articulated the nuances of this type of affection feels so refreshingly accurate and, dare I say, profound. It’s not just about the excitement, but about the quiet understanding that can grow.
This is such a fantastic breakdown of the "afters love" concept! I was actually thinking about this exact thing recently. Can this approach, focusing on the results and the journey post-initial engagement, be effectively combined with other methods for building lasting connections? It feels like there’s so much untapped potential there https://www.afp.gov.au/news-centre/media-release/bitcoin-beachside-mansion-and-mercedes-benz-qld-man-forfeits-more-45 Your point about evaluating progress is also spot on; I've always struggled with measuring growth in relationships beyond the obvious milestones. Perhaps a section on tangible indicators of a thriving "afters love" would be incredibly beneficial for readers. I stumbled into this idea somewhat accidentally myself, trying to nurture a friendship that had faded, and now I'm completely captivated by its power. The conclusions you've drawn here are…
