A Whole Lotta Pink

October is always filled with events that raise awareness for Breast Cancer Research.  This year the Felix Andrew Aveda Creative Team helped raise donations by entering models into a hair show A Whole Lotta Pink.  The show had three categories: Avant Garde, Vintage Classic and Creative Color.

Before the event I was fortunate enough to participate in redCHOCOLATE, with David Adams, an artist who helped revolutionize the way we look at hair color.  The class inspired me to create a look for the hair show.

A Whole Lotta Pink was October 14th, during the last session of redCHOCOLATE.  The session focused on color workshop with two models.  Naturally, I utilized my time with the best in Aveda hair color education to brainstorm and create my look for the Creative Color category.

We lifted my model Ashley's hair and did a botanical therapy treatment for the first step.  I then color melded her hair from a deep violet to a soft pink with a Ombre effect.  My team mates Shayna and Alex helped with the styling and makeup finishing touches.




The final result was a Creative Color category winner.  Our team entered three other models for the other two categories, but the competition was fierce.  The event was a success; over $6000 was raised and donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
