Paul Mitchell introduced Colorways, a collection of semi-permanent pigments, with nine intermixable shades plus a clear diluter. The line is formulated with shine-enhancing ingredients, color retention, and a conditioning shampoo base for rinsing. 

“It’s essential to have Colorways in your salon or barber shop; it allows you, the artist, to offer another service to your guests that want to get creative and express themselves with bright hair color. I’m excited about Colorways because I now have a product that offers me a superior semi-permanent formula in the shades I need. Hair color artists will enjoy playing with Colorways to get those expressive fashion tones.” 

Fern Andong, Paul Mitchell Colorways Brand Ambassador

Colorways is formulated with a medium dye load for maximum deposit, vibrancy, and greater longevity with minimal off-tone fading. The line is infused with shine-enhancing ingredients such as meadowfoam seed oil to provide more shine to the hair after a service. The product includes a conditioning shampoo base so stylists no longer need to hesitantly shampoo their creative color work following application — Colorways simply rinses out with cool water. No shampoo or conditioner needed.  

How To Use

  • Use Colorways shades on their own or mix and match for customized, creative results.

  • Add Clear Diluter to create more personalization. Add 1:1 or 1:2 depending on desired dilution. No developer is required.   

  • Apply to dry, freshly shampooed hair that’s been pre-lightened to the recommended level then process for 30 minutes.

  • Rinse with cool water, no shampoo needed.

  • To maintain a colorful mane, avoid hot water when washing and excessive use of heat styling tools.

  • Use color-safe products, such as Paul Mitchell Color Protect Shampoo, Conditioner, Treatment, and Locking Spray to preserve the artistry.  

This color packs a punch: gloves are recommended when applying.

Colorways is now available. For additional information including how-to and pre-lightening charts please visit www.pro.paulmitchell.com/colorways.
