Recently, Karlie Kloss unveiled a chic hair color transformation, opting for a lustrous Dark Chocolate brunette, thanks to R+COLOR, R+Co’s new professional salon color line, and Celebrity Colorist and R+COLOR Collective Member Jenna Perry.
Perry formulated this brunette shade to perfectly enhance Karlie's eye color and complement her skin tone. She is the brains behind the color chemistry for many of today's most in-demand color looks seen on celebrities, beauty editors and trend-setters around the globe. In addition to working with Karlie the past two years, and transforming her from a blonde by taking her "to the dark side," Perry also is a member of the R+COLOR Collective - testing new shades, showcasing her techniques, and sharing her love of R+COLOR both in the salon and online.
