If you’ve been admiring Sarah Jessica Parker’s hair as she plays Carrie Bradshaw in And Just Like That, you are not alone. While Bradshaw loves to experiment with different hairstyles—from embellished plaits to slicked-back top knots—one thing that remains a constant is Parker’s excellent hair color. The woman behind it is Gina Gilbert, the colorist at Serge Normant in New York.
The pair have worked together for 15 years, so Gilbert knows exactly how Parker likes her hair to look. “Sarah likes to change her hair color up a bit,” she tells me over the phone. “Mostly, we do a single process [a single dye color] right on her parting and around the hairline—but not on the whole head. She doesn’t like to have dye sit on her scalp.”
After that, it’s all about the balayage, which gives Parker’s hair dimension and contrast, and makes it look naturally sun-kissed, rather than looking done. “I paint her ends with a higher volume of peroxide (40) so it moves from dark roots to lighter on the ends—it looks like the sun’s touched it that way,” explains Gilbert.
She intentionally creates much lighter pieces—“money pieces” as they’re known—around Parker’s face, which help illuminate her skin, making it look healthy and luminous. “It’s a technique that really brightens up the face and makes eyes stand out,” Gilbert says. “Sarah has these beautiful crystal blue eyes and they’re highlighted by these lighter pieces. We’ve gone darker in the past and it doesn’t flatter her skin as much.”
