Texture From the Teals
Swinging Sixties from Dianna Lopez
Retro Glamour
Patrick McIvor, colorist, owner of Patrick McIvor Color Studio and Matrix Artistic Color Director is tapping into the texture craze in a different way—with color. “When you bring out the texture with color, you don’t change the shape or volume, but all of a sudden the hair is soft er and you can see all the dimension and movement,” he says. He cautions colorists to hold back a bit though. “You must stay less than 50 percent of highlights. A base color is the color, the highlight is texturizing. One is creating the overall tone, the other the highlight. We are not using highlights to create color.”
Blonde Ambition
One of colorist Michael Boychuck’s favorite color designs is a high-lift, high-dimensional blonde, perfect for his high-profile clients like Paris Hilton, who frequents his Las Vegas salon, Color.
Joico's Le Graphique, Volume II
In Joico’s Le Graphique, Volume II, Joico International Creative Directors Damien Carney and Sue Pemberton showcase two hair cuts, six unique styles and two unique color designs to inspire and intrigue. When creating the looks, Carney focused on enhancing texture with Joico’s Design Collection and protecting the vividness of Pemberton’s color with K-Pak Color Therapy.
