2020 was the year that so many of us realized how just dependent we are on our hair styling routines. Whether you’re someone like me who simply turned into Tarzan for want of a trim, or you have a more demanding regimen, it sure isn’t fun to find yourself reliant on something you can’t access.
Folks who regularly dye their hair tend to need to re-up every few weeks or so, which is a problem all its own, and many who do so to cover the gray as they age are beginning to question why such a thing should even be necessary.
Enter colorist Jack Martin, who offers his clients an ingenious and stylish alternative.
What Jack does, essentially, is use the natural grays in a client’s roots as a template for creating a shinning silver effect which only needs to be reapplied a few times a year. The results? Well, they speak for themselves.

That’s a hashtag that should really take off.
Pretty fanatic transformations! No word on what he charges for this particular treatment as it most likely varies from client to client. But if those descriptions are any indication – it’s not cheap!
