Dusty lavenders are sticking around for summer! Jason Backe recently worked with the color team at Christophe Salon in Newport Beach, California, to show off some L'Oréal Professionnel color and products.
Backe is the co-owner of Ted Gibson Salons, a brand ambassador for L’Oréal Professionnel and a highly sought-after colorist.
A stylist at Christophe Salon and self-proclaimed blonde and balayage specialist Ashley Rydbeck (@colorbyashley) volunteered to have Backe color her natural level 7 hair.
Backe graciously shared his technique and formulations on his Instagram page. Take a look at how he pulled of Rydbeck's dreamy lavender locks!
