A long, thick deep espresso brunette haircut styled with soft, voluminous waves and subtle warm auburn face-framing highlights, created at Sunday Salon in Raleigh.

Deep Espresso Brunette with Warm Auburn Face-Framing Ribbons

This gorgeous, dimensional look pairs a deep espresso brunette base with soft, warm auburn ribbons that subtly frame the face and bring effortless warmth to the overall aesthetic. Designed on long, thick hair with delicate face-framing layers, the cut maintains full baseline density while encouraging fluid movement throughout the front. To craft this seamless depth, gentle balayage painting techniques were focused around the face and through the mid-lengths, softly blending into a deep shadow root to guarantee an easy, low-maintenance grow-out. Styled into romantic, brushed-out waves, the finish highlights healthy shine and rich multi-tonal dimension across every bend. Expertly created by Lisa Edwards, this style showcases exceptional precision in subtle color placement and elevated thermal styling.
