At the sight of their first gray hairs, many women run immediately to the hair salon to ask their stylist to cover them up. This first "cover up" leads to a lifetime of touchups, which costs lots of money and can cause an infinite amount of damage to one's hair. This routine might get tiring after a while, but many women feel like they have no other choice. What if women could learn to appreciate their gray hair? 

This is exactly what one hairstylist has been doing with his clients. Keeping their natural color in mind, Martin dyes their hair a silvery-gray that's meant to bring out the tones of their own natural hair. By helping his clients feel more comfortable - albeit beautiful - with their natural gray hair color, he helps them save a lot of time and money in his salon.
