Sleek Brunette with Face-Framing Layers and Golden Ribbon Highlights

By: Sunday Salon

Step into everyday glamour with this dynamic, high-contrast style that beautifully marries rich depth with striking brightness. This client wanted a look with maximum movement and visible dimension, resulting in a stunning dark brunette base illuminated by prominent, golden blonde ribbon highlights. The high-shine finish and expertly tailored face-framing layers evoke a luxurious, modern take on the classic ’90s supermodel blowout.

To achieve this flawless, high-impact look, our expert stylist used a precision highlighting technique, carefully weaving vibrant golden ribbons throughout the hair so they pop against the dark canvas. The styling process involved a meticulous blowout with a professional round brush and smoothing serums. Tension was maintained through the mid-lengths for a sleek, glass-like finish, and the ends and shorter face-framing layers were heavily beveled outward to create that iconic, bouncy swoop.
