When I decided to put myself in the hands of the colorist David Adams to change my look, I did not know that I had traveled the world for 8 years working with Claudia Schiffer, or that I was behind the hair of numerous editorial ads, such as the latest Gucci campaign, or that it was the author of the shady manes at the root of the Jeremy Scott fashion show. He had not even seen his Instagram to verify that he has dyed the hair of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Bosworth. I just knew he was a very nice British guy with a great sense of humor.

I had met him at a previous Aveda event, the firm he works with at Fourteenjay in New York - at 14 Jay Street - and I loved the way he passionately explained how important having hair is. fury.

So there I went, with my shapeless hair and the remains of an ombré that I had made months ago. First, after receiving me and offering me something to drink and some delicious cookies, David and Heather, one of the stylists, sat down with me to talk. "What idea do you have in mind? Why do you want to make highlights? What colors have you previously worn? " We are looking for photos of actresses and models to have a reference in the cut. First we thought about Jennifer Lawrence's lob, because my first idea was to let my hair grow, but I told them that my husband really liked Scarlett Johansson's hairand they got excited. I already anticipated that I did not want to be so extreme, my hair grows very fast and she probably cuts it every two days with the team of stylists behind her. Also, I am always afraid that my head will look too big, but they assured me that if they did not believe that I would look good, they would not have supported the idea.

"Do you want all white blonde or do you want us to create a golden base and then give it dimension and texture with lighter highlights?" Asked the expert colorist. What would you have answered? Well that.

First he applied a dye all over my head and we waited 10 minutes. Later, on that same one, she applied another tone paying special attention to the roots and ends, saturating the entire head.

When the color went up they washed my hair giving me a massage with a moisturizing treatment while they massaged my hands. Very nice.

Meanwhile, I was noticing a glass of Proseco, some nuts, and some chocolates while reading Tatler's latest issue. The famous British fashion magazine.

Then Heather dried me off and started cutting my back with a razor, creating almost a sculpture with my hair. When the cut took shape and David saw how my hair behaved in his new style, he gave me blonde highlights at the front and sides to give it dimension. Then wash and dry again.

A couple more scissors by Heather, and a few pre-styling products (a smoothing serum on the back and a volumizing spray on top) et voila!

I arrived at 5 in the afternoon and left almost at 11 at night. He gave us time to talk about trends for spring, his experiences with celebrities and with hair of different textures, the psychology that involves dealing with clients to make sure they are happy, how the hair gives you confidence in yourself and why. Of course, tips to take care of my new hair "Pilar color", as David defined it. A 5 star experience.
