Before
The Transformation
Makeover stylist Diane Goldenberg, founder of Style-Over, picked Pearson from a group of candidates because she wanted to help her feel more confident in herself. "She needed a splash of color in her life," says Goldenberg (pictured, left), who enlisted the help of hairstylist Claudia Saldaña (right) and Alathea Reese (not pictured) from Neihule Salon to help transform her look.
Best Layered Plans
"When I was employed full time, I would get my hair cut and styled every six to eight weeks," says Pearson. "Lately, I have been getting trims at the discount haircutters every couple of months." Hairstylist Saldaña added layers to Pearson's hair, which was all one length, so it wasn't weighed down.
A New Look
"Pearson needed texture in her hair and a style that she wouldn't have to fuss over," says Goldenberg. With color, the team opted to go warmer overall. "I've never gone darker," says Brown, a natural blonde.
Color Boost
"Pearson has amazing eyes and a great smile," says Goldenberg. "A warmer hair color will prevent her from looking washed out and really emphasize her best features."
Fuss-Free
"Pearson has a natural wave, so this new cut is great because she can air dry it if she wants," says Goldenberg.
Pro Tip
Makeup artist Alathea Reese (pictured) from Neihule Salon worked to accentuate Pearson's features with a brow tweeze and colors that highlighted her eyes and skin tone. "This makes me realize I need to keep my brows in shape … it makes a big difference!" says Pearson.
