An old salon saying goes, "I'm a hair stylist, not a magician." Well, guess what? The stroke of a color brush (or, magic wand), can completely transform a client. And, some may agree that's pretty magical.

MODERN Facebook fan Becky Marinich LOVES a good color project. But, she also understands why some colorists fear corrections. "Color corrections can be really scary and time consuming," she says.

Marinich, who is also a stylist at Olde South Hair Designs in Springboro, Ohio, says she no longer fears the client who sits in her chair and desperately needs some love from the color brush.

"Ever since I started using Kenra Color, my job has been so much easier," she says.

Kenra Color, which launched in January 2012, has a line-up of 70 shades of low-ammonia Permanent Coloring Creme, and 40 shades of ammonia-free Demi-Permanent Color Creme.

Additionally, Kenra Color includes a dust-free Lightening Powder and a Color Correction System that removes oxidative pigments and leaves hair ready for a new color services.

The Color Correcting System is designed to gently remove oxidative pigments without disturbing the hair's natural pigments--it's a two-part non-bleach formula that mixes into a cream. The removal process can be repeated and a color service performed immediately following.

Here, Marinich shows off six before-and-after color correction clients, and gives the formulas she used to create the results.

Even if you don't use Kenra Professional color, these before-and-afters prove you, too, can be a color magician!
