I love to joke that I’ve tried all the brunette hair colors in existence. From nearly black espresso to dimensional caramel, I’ve been bleaching and dyeing (and re-bleaching and re-dyeing) my brown strands since seventh grade. That said, there’s nothing like finding the best, most flattering brunette hair color for you—and there's always something new and trending to try out.
Though LA is full of blondes, celebrity hairstylist Nicolas Flores also knows how to make a brunette's head shine. He's the co-owner of the elegant Flore Salon on Melrose, and his client list includes iconic brunettes like Simi and Haze Khadra, Summer Fridays' Marianna Hewitt, and Jen Atkin (when you find the celebrity hairstylist's hairstylist, you know you're in for something special). "California brunettes deserve more credit. It's not just a plain 'brown,'" Flores tells Marie Claire. "Being a brunette can offer richness and dimension. It can also enhance your facial features, such as eye color, skin tone, and eyebrows."
