"I don't know how my hair ended up this blonde," says Beth, 38. "My highlights have taken over my base color -- I'm supposed to be a brunette." Add to that daily heat styling and you end up with dry, bleached-out frizz. "I just want to cut it all off and start over -- new cut, new color," she says. "Something that looks healthy and rich."

The cut
With very thick hair -- and a lot of it -- Beth's hair shouldn't be cut too short, says hairstylist Whitney Olson. Otherwise, it ends up standing out from the head in a triangle shape. So instead, Beth's hair was given a fairly blunt chop to shoulder length -- five inches shorter, with a wispy side bang to break up her hairline.
With a demanding work life, and an even more demanding 2-year-old at home, Beth needed a cut and color that would help her look more polished and put-together -- without taking a ton of time. So we called in our team of experts at the Warren-Tricomi salon in Los Angeles, Calif., which includes hairstylists Whitney Olson and Reanna Garcia, colorists Jherra Moreno and Ashleigh Childers, and celebrity makeup artists and co-founders of the Luxe Beauty Team Sarah Uslan and Amy Hollier. Let's see what they did to turn back the clock for Beth.
