Give your clients healthy, shiny hair AND gorgeous color this spring with Wella's Shinefinity.

Spring has sprung and clients are ready for CHANGE! Wella Professionals Brand Ambassadors Briana Cisneros and Dereq Clark share some of their favorite new color trends for spring featuring Wella’s Shinefinity, a long-lasting color glaze that provides a perfect balance of color and shine in a non-drip gel cream color glaze that lasts up to six weeks.
To achieve these pastel tones for spring and maintain healthy hair, Cisneros turns to Wella’s Shinefinity. It’s the perfect partner for quick, corrective changes and adding fun tones that are still soft and keep the hair’s natural quality intact. There is zero lift, so once the tone gradually fades out, your client is left with healthy, shiny hair. “No matter what, healthy hair is the goal,” Cisneros says. “Shiny, beautiful locks will always be youthful, style the easiest and be the most attention grabbing, which is why I think Shinefinity is going to be a hero product.”
Here are a few of Cisernos’ favorite shades for spring:
Bubblegum Pink: A fun change for the season, this soft shade fades into a beautifully balanced tone that blends with blondes. See how to create a pastel pink here.
Baby Blue: The soft baby blue is in the pastel family and can really complete almost every outfit! It can be such a statement while maintaining a soft approachable feel. Click here to see how Cisneros achieved the look.
Vanilla Blonde: “We’re moving out of the icy spectrum and into the creamier, more golden shades of blonde this spring,” Cisernos says. “At the end of the day though skin tone and personal style rules all. Doing what you feel best in is ultimately what is going to make you shine!” See Cisneros' gorgeous vanilla blonde model and how-to here.
Clark says he loves Shinefinity because, “The shades are interchangeable with little to no commitment, which means clients can try new colors from the broad array of Shinefinity shades.”
Since Shinefinity is a glaze, it’s extremely gentle for clients who love to change up their color regularly. “I love the new pH balanced technology that regulates the color pH level to a controlled range throughout the coloring process. This is great for textured hair that tends to naturally be on the more porous side.”
Here are a couple of Clark’s recent looks featuring Shinefinity:
Caramel Latte: Shinefinity Shade: 6/73 + 9/73 equal parts

Vanilla Bean Blonde: Shinefinity Shade 9/13 with this formula: Wella Blondorplex + 20vol, Toned with blondor permanent toner /16 lightest pearl + Wellexon 6% developer. Click here to see it in action.
