Stalmakova.
I am a Washington State–licensed Hair Designer, professional hair colorist, and the author of Blonde Darkening: The Method of Controlled Pigment Layering.
My work brings together color correction, blonding, hair reconstruction, and professional education. Hair structure, porosity, and treatment history guide each color decision.
