MODERN Artist Connective Member Stephanie Hodges uses Goldwell lightener and color for fast, vibrant results. See why she trusts it to do the hard work for her.


How often do you find yourself wishing that your lightener or color line worked just a little bit better or faster?
If there’s any busy stylist who knows which products work overtime for her needs, it’s MODERN SALON Artist Connective Member Stephanie Hodges (@stephhstyles). As a master colorist and style educator, Hodges doesn’t simply trust any old product to give her the power and speed she needs to make her clients look great—the product has to be great, too.
See below for why Hodges recommends Goldwell’s high-quality lines of professional color, lightener and gloss to get the job done, and what she loves about each:
Hodges has made Goldwell Light Dimensions Oxycur Platin her go-to lightener for its ability to lift hair up to 9+ levels quickly, safely and reliably. This stuff is strong, and includes BondPro+ technology, making it safe enough to give you and your client peace of mind about their hair integrity.
This client’s fall color turned out fab thanks to Hodges and Goldwell’s color offerings. Whether you go for Elumen, Topchic, or Colorance, your color needs for every hair type, texture and tone are covered.
Clients who want an unmatched shine and gorgeous color can have it all with Goldwell Colorance Gloss Tones. As you can see on Hodges’ client, Gloss Tones works well for creating a healthy and vibrant, lived-in look with minimal effort. Maintenance effort for your client is minimal, too!
