Liv’s blond-to-brunette colour and weft hair extensions process
When Liv booked her SANDY appointment, she was ready for a dramatic change.
She was ready to leave her blonde bob behind and replace it with long, full brunette hair that looked glossy and natural.
Achieving this involved more than simply changing her colour or adding extensions. The colour, length, fullness and finished shape all needed to work together as one complete hairstyle.
The challenge of blending existing hair with the extensions
Liv’s natural hair sat just above her shoulders. She wanted long, luxurious hair that had movement, shine and a natural-looking finish.
The challenge for our stylists was to create a rich, even brunette colour while seamlessly blending Liv’s shorter hair into the new length.
For a natural look, the extensions needed to match her newly coloured hair while providing enough fullness through the mid-lengths and ends to make the transformation look balanced.
The first step is always a personalised consultation
Every hair transformation at SANDY begins with a thorough consultation.
We spoke with Liv about the look she wanted to achieve, how she normally styled her hair and how the weft extensions would fit into her lifestyle. We also assessed her natural hair and considered how the colour and extensions could be planned together.
To achieve the dramatic change Liv wanted, we recommended combining a complete blonde-to-brunette colour transformation with premium weft hair extensions.
This allowed us to approach the service as one complete transformation rather than treating the colour and extensions as separate appointments.
Creating the right colour, length and fullness
For Liv’s transformation, the SANDY colourists, stylists and hair extension specialists used:
- 150 grams of premium human hair
- Three rows of professionally fitted weft hair extensions
- A complete blonde-to-brunette colour transformation
- A custom colour match for a natural-looking blend
Careful colour matching was an important part of the process. Liv’s natural hair and extensions needed to complement one another from the roots through to the ends.
The three rows of weft extensions provided the amount of length and fullness required to balance the new hairstyle. Once fitted, the extensions were professionally cut and blended with Liv’s shorter natural hair to create a smooth transition into the new length.
The SANDY Salon experience
Liv arrived at SANDY with a short blonde bob and left with long, glossy brunette hair filled with movement and volume.
The rich brunette colour gave her hair greater depth, while the premium weft extensions created the length and fullness she had envisioned. Bringing the colour, extensions and haircut together allowed us to create a cohesive style with a soft, natural-looking finish.
This was not simply a colour appointment or an extension installation. It was a carefully planned transformation designed around Liv and the completely new look she was ready to embrace.

Could a hair transformation like Liv’s be right for you?
A transformation like Liv’s may be suitable if you:
- Are ready for a noticeable change
- Would like to transition from blonde to brunette
- Want to transform shorter hair without waiting for it to grow
- Would like to add length, fullness and colour
- Want your extensions cut and blended into a complete hairstyle
- Are looking for a personalised plan rather than a standard extension service
Changing your colour and adding hair extensions at the same time requires careful planning. The most suitable approach will depend on your existing colour, the health of your natural hair and the result you would like to achieve.
We take a personalised approach to hair transformations
At SANDY, our colourists, stylists and hair extension specialists work together to plan every part of a transformation.
We assess your natural hair, discuss what you would like to change and recommend an approach that considers both the finished appearance and the ongoing health of your hair. This includes selecting the appropriate extension method, matching or blending the colour, deciding how much hair is required and creating a suitable maintenance plan.
Once the weft extensions are fitted, they are cut and shaped to blend with your natural hair and create a finished hairstyle that feels balanced and comfortable.
