A Pink Twist on Alysia Liu’s Viral Halos at Assort Melbourne
The 2026 Winter Olympics didn’t just give us gold medals. It gave us the season’s most viral hair obsession! Inspired by American figure skating icon Alysa Liu, the “Angel Halo” has officially dominated our mood boards. In a nod to her victories on the ice, Alysa famously wears a bleached “halo” or “stripe” for each of her major wins, turning her hair into a living trophy!
The Before: Long, dark brown hair with previously bleached ends

At Assort Melbourne, we’re taking that champion energy and giving it our own creative flare. We’ve traded the classic icy blonde for a Pastel Pink that feels ethereal, modern, and feminine✨
✨ The Art of the Double Process Creative Colour
To achieve this high-impact look, our team uses a Double Process Creative Colour technique. This isn’t just a standard “bleach and tone” but a precision-based, two-step service:
-
The Lift: First, we strategically de-colour the “halo” section to create a clean, pale canvas. By focusing solely on the face-framing perimeter, we create maximum brightness with minimal stress on your hair.
-
The Creation: Once we’ve achieved the perfect lift, we apply a beautiful colour toner. This soft, dreamy pink adds a pop of personality against the natural dark brown base, giving the trend a fresh, rosy finish.
🛡️ The Assort Melbourne Standard: K18 Protection
We’re big believers that vibrant color should never come at the cost of healthy hair. That is why we integrated a K18 Quick Treatment directly into the process. 🧪 K18 works at the molecular level to repair the hair’s structure during the bleaching phase. The result? A pink halo that isn’t just vibrant but also incredibly strong, soft, and healthy.
At Assort, we recommend a K18 treatment with every bleaching service to ensure your hair stays healthy and full of colour long after you leave the chair.
The Result: A Stunning Pink halo that frames the face perfectly 🎀
