To his credit (and our relief), Ryan doesn't leave anything to chance. He listened patiently while we stumbled through a clumsy description of our ideal color, then handed us a book of celebrity photographs to help us illustrate the point. We selected Giselle's honeyed hue, which he agreed would suit our light brown mane. Using balayage, he painted amber highlights on our roots, then applied a gloss to blend it into the perfect beachy shade. $150 and up.

Sophisticate MagazineAug. 2009...Step one: the hair color makeoverTo begin her transformation, Day of Beauty winner Shannon O'Hare meets with Color Specialist Patrick Ryan of (formerly of) Maxine salon. At the L'Oréal Professionnel Haircolor Center, the pair chooses a fab red shade for Shannon's new look. "I was nervous about the red, but he's a professional, so I let him do it," Shannon shares. For a glossy finish, Shannon is treated to a Kérastase Aqua-Oleum Treatment.Colorist Patrick Ryan:"I added triangles of deep red, caramel and dark blonde throughout."Step two: cut and style makeoverTo play up the gorgeous shade shift, Maxine Stylist Patricia Arredondo snips Shannon's tresses into an A-line with a shattered cut, featuring lots of layering and sideswept fringe. "The hair is cut to fall into place, so styling will be minimal," Patricia notes. Prep damp strands with Kérastase Mousse Nutri-Sculpt before blow-drying, scrunching and using a Denman brush. A dab of Kérastase Lumiére NutriSculpt gives the style shine, texture and thickness.Stylist Patricia Arredondo:"I wanted to make her hair very voluminous and piecey to make her layers come forward."Step three: makeupThe final step in Shannon's makeover is visiting Maxine Makeup Artist Neepa Patel. A powder foundation provides sheer coverage, before liquid concealer and eyeshadow primer are added. Working with shades of plum and gray brings attention to Shannon's eyes. After adhering false eyelashes, eyeliner and mascara provide the final touch. Makeup Artist Neepa Patel:"Shades of plum and gray really make her eyes pop against her brown hair."Salon Owner Maxine Kroll:"She's so beautiful, but even natural beauty can be made more beautiful-naturally!"
