When given the chance to try out the services offered by Navigate Salon, I instantly started thinking of many different things I could have done to my hair. To be honest, I never actually decided and ended up mentioning all my options with them and hope they would suggest what would work best. They definitely listened and came up with a compromise between my ideas and made it happen! I wanted a bit more of a red-ish colour to my hair, and I was a fan of ombre hair. I had previously tried an at-home ombre job myself, and they spotted it right away as an "at home attempt" and I felt my hair needed to be fixed right away with that comment. My biggest concern was wanting a natural look that wouldn't look horrible when my roots started showing. Collectively, everyone discussed their opinions about what to do with my hair, and a decision was made.

Jo did a fantastic job and was able to create the ombre look, with a slightly ginger tint to it, that matched my natural hair colour as close as they could get it for when it started to show. It's hard to restrain yourself from constantly dying your hair when you have your roots coming in and creating a horrible colour combination. A quick trim was also given to even out my hair length as it was all over the place. I nearly fell asleep while the dye was being washed out because it was so relaxing. To top it all off, Jo styled my hair in soft waves that made me feel as if I was a bit of a movie star. Even after over a week of hair washes, my hair still feels soft as ever and I keep trying to style it the same way if I have enough time. It will be interesting to see what happens when the colour fades and my roots start to grow in.

Originally this service would have probably left me unable to go shopping for quite some time, costing up around $200, but this was a service that was done for free. I felt the end results were well worth it to indulge in hair colour and care from this salon. I'll be keeping this one in mind for whenever I know I need special care and attention for my hair and have the money to afford it.
