The Transformation Process
1. Coloring: The Shatush Technique for a Sun-Kissed Glow
The first step in Chantale’s transformation was applying the Shatush technique, a freehand coloring method designed to mimic the natural effect of sun exposure. Luciano expertly blended darker roots into lighter ends, creating a soft, luminous gradient that gave her hair that “just-back-from-the-beach” glow—without the harsh damage.
The result? Effortless brightness with subtle dimension, perfectly suited for a chic and low-maintenance style.
2. Cutting: Adding Layers and Curtain Bangs
Once the color was set, it was time to bring the cut to life. Luciano began by trimming the ends and creating face-framing layers for added movement and structure. These layers gave Chantale’s hair a more dynamic shape while maintaining its length.
For a modern touch, Luciano cut curtain bangs that framed her face beautifully. The bangs blended seamlessly into the layers, softening her overall look and giving it a fresh, trendy vibe.
3. Styling: Loose Waves for a Natural Finish
To complete the transformation, Luciano styled Chantale’s hair into loose, natural waves. This styling technique emphasized the depth and texture created by the Shatush highlights and layers, resulting in a polished yet effortlessly chic finish.
The Result: Effortless Glamour with a Natural Touch
The transformation exceeded Chantale’s expectations. The soft layers added movement, the curtain bangs framed her face beautifully, and the Shatush highlights brought the perfect amount of brightness for the winter season. The final look was chic, timeless, and easy to maintain—everything a modern woman wants in her hairstyle.
Before: Chantale’s hair was all one length, lacking movement and dimension.
After: Subtle Shatush highlights, soft layers, and curtain bangs gave her hair a sun-kissed glow and fresh, modern style.
