As an Apparel Design & Merchandising student, I have had the great fortune of meeting a diversity of talented and creative people in all areas of the style spectrum. This past year, one of these individuals was Ashlee Norman, a hair stylist…nay, hair genius based in Valencia, California. A few months ago, she graciously asked me to be her hair model for a competition initiated by Wella Professionals and their 2014 S/S Trend Vision called “Urban Native”. As I plan my next trip up to her salon, fond memories of our shoot fill my head. These were the images and looks that defined the collection.
THE BOHO URBAN NATIVE LOOK. A PURPLE BASE COLOR IS BLENDED WITH WASHED-OUT PINKS, HINTS OF ORANGE, GREENS AND LAVENDER BLONDES
Urban Native; A new tribe of people with a relaxed energy and natural grace have de-cluttered, slowed down and combined nature and city-life to live in a more satisfying turned-on now.

Ashlee spent an entire Sunday back in May transforming my lack of a look into an incredible interpretation of this vision by Wella. The result was a complete transformation that I will always be grateful for. And plan to recreate very soon.
Here’s the “before”…
…and the “After”…
