At 63, Diane, a retired teacher from Nixon, Missouri, and a grandmother to six, was ready for a change.

She had been graying since her thirties and was tired of the constant maintenance her hair required.

Her typical style, a bob maintained with a flat iron, was no longer feasible with her active lifestyle, especially with her grandchildren.

Seeking a sophisticated new look that embraced her natural gray, she turned to Christopher Hopkins for his expertise.
