I'm looking to get my first Pastel (I know, why'd I wait so long).
Anyway, I was thinking of getting either a Blond or Lemon.
I have only seen pictures of these, never in person, and never side by side.
Does anyone have any compairison pictures?
Or does anyone have any thoughts on the differences between the two?

Thanks for any and all help!

a few posts before your previous post on blondes and lemons, there was another pastel discussion. I have a blonde b/c they are the most expensive and I understood they held their color the best.

That being said, I've seen pics posted of gorgeous and ugly pastel from every line. The important thing is to get a pretty one (which WILL cost more). Do this: Find a nice pastel, purchase it. I personally would say go with the blonde, but you'll find people out there who will say bells, lemons or whatever.

The main thing is to have pretty ones. If I had a rock, it won't sell any faster just because it says "blonde" on it. Pretty pastels sell.

Here's a pic I've posted a few times of my '03 blonde. He's held his color GREAT!

The Blondes are the line to go with. They keep there color better as adults. I only work with the Blonde Pastels I have a 1.4 and a 1.1 100% het Ghost Blondes. This is a pic of my female 100% het Ghost Blonde. Good Luck. Jon

here is a pic of some pastels just pastel not lemon or blond selective breeding can produce pastels that are nice as well.
