So, the first few pictures are the color I’m aiming for and the last picture is my current hair. It’s not too dark, but definitely not blonde. I’ve had my hair professionally dyed in the past but it was always just coloring my hair a darker brown than it naturally is, always just a “solid color” appointment. The last time was a few years ago so there’s probably still some dye on the end of my hair.

They have lots of different types of appointments for lightening (partial foil, full foil, highlight/full, highlight/partial, highlights/lowlights) and I’m confused on which one I need. I also want to get a cut during this appointment too (cut a couple inches of dead ends off, some long layers and face framing pieces), but the “haircut” is an entirely different appointment option on the website as well. And I’m aware it might take a few appointments to get to my goal by the way.

Can someone lead me in the right direction please?

I live in Upper Michigan and have been saving up to get a Mal for a little while now, and I’ve been trying to look into breeders in the Michigan/Wisconsin area. My first method was basically googling “Alaskan malamute breeders near me” and clicking through the options that popped up on Google Maps. Some of them looked a little unreliable or “backyard breeder-esque” so I kept looking. Others looked good, until I went to the website and seen they hadn’t been updated in like 5 years so probably aren’t breeding anymore. So, I’ve been having some trouble finding breeders. They all seem to be down south, in Texas and Florida (why are all the breeders near the equator?? For a northern breed you’d think they’d avoid having them down there where it’s so hot.)

There was one I was looking at called Mt. Warcloud which was active and looked mostly good, they breeds both Huskies and Alaskan Mals. But, they labeled the Mals as “Giant” which makes me worry they breed for size instead of health. If anyone has any experience with that breeder, please let me know.

If you have any experience with other breeders in the Midwest area, or maybe further away but will work with me to get the pup flown out, please let me know! Thank you!
