David-Stanko
"Individuality via grown-in and sexy highlighted pieces rate number one for the ‘it' girl who gets this uber-fun hair trend. Selected strands are lightened around the face, through long layers; even a few are tucked away in the nape. I add these signature blonde bits to all depths of brunettes and dark blondes, only through the midshaft and ends."
-David Stanko
color director of AngeloDavid Salon, New York City
and hair color consultant for Redken 5th Avenue NYC

pro-PJ-Suttlebw
"This year's trend is more monochromatic with richer tones that are translucent. Thus, allowing other hues to ‘bleed through' and blend into the single process color or glazing service. I've also noticed that demipermanent browns and reds are definitely becoming more popular this season."
-PJ Suttle
owner of Misfit Hair Salon, Charleston, South Carolina

pro-Cecelia-Bullock
"I think the trend is about softer colors with subtle highlights and lowlights for a very touchable, real feel in the hair. It goes very well with the textured trend currently. The economy has people opting for lowermaintenance hair color, peeka- boo highlights and single process color."
-Cecelia Bullock
hair stylist at All About You Family Hair Salon,
Perryville, Maryland

pro-Bill-Cinco
"In the last several months, colors have been softer, blended and more natural. We have a great deal of interest in two or more colors, rather than a single color. Heavy foils are out of the picture, which I find refreshing. We are experiencing more interest in the red tones. I expect with fall on the way, we will see more warm browns, caramels and rich reds."
-Bill Cinco
owner of Trend Designers Cadillac, Michigan

pro-Angela-Guido
"The ages of our hair color clientele range from 15 to 65 years old, and most are asking for the same look: dimensional coloring. Our colorists select three shades of highlight colors for our young professionals, college students and teens that will complement their skin tone, eye color and natural hair pigment. We custom create the look with bold streaks to very fine strands, depending on the lifestyle of the client."
-Angela Guido
