Multi-Facet Fashion

In addition to owning a string of smashingly successful salons throughout Europe and being the president of Intercoiffure Mondial, Klaus Peter Ochs is one of the world's finest hairdressers.

We always sit up and take notice when he releases his semi-annual collections, and this season's predictions, "Fashion Diamonds," don't disappoint.

The concept: combine the luxury of ‘50s haute coiffure with the geometry of ‘80s geometry. Ochs and his KPO team combined them, he says, "because retro only makes sense when something new arises from it. These are high-carat hair designs-unique in cut and color." Here are some key color makeovers.

Star-patterned color complements a geometric bob. The base is a sandy mocha shade of Koleston Perfect, the star highlights achieved with Blondor.

For a spray of copper, the KPO team lifts sections with bleach, tones in dark blonde, brown-gold and light blonde with Color Touch.

KPO lifts to a nice ice with Koleston Perfect Special blonde in pearl-ash.
