Goldwell Regional Artistic Team Member, Steven Picciano’s (@steviewondaz) inspiration for the Electric Apricot Look came from three sources: the shape and design of the haircut, the model’s complexion and eye color, tied to Pantone’s color of spring 2017. Picciano analyzed the model’s skin tone and eye color to ensure the color direction would enhance and complement her natural features. Goldwell Global Ambassador for Hair Cutting, Jay Mahmood (@jaymahmood), gave the model a modern twist to a graduated bob using disconnection and asymmetry. To finish the look, Mahmood utilized classic Denman blow dry techniques.
