Bumble and bumble Honors Its Heritage While Inspiring the Next Generation
At its core, Bumble and bumble is about giving people the tools, the confidence, and the freedom to express themselves through hair.
CosmoProf and MODERN SALON partner to bring salons Modern Fairytale, a collection of products, tools and looks that will get clients excited! It's all about ethereal, iridescent shades of beauty.







Experience the joy and wonder of Modern Fairytale. Invite your clients into the realm of endless possibilities through color and style. CosmoProf’s Modern Fairytale collection of tools and products opens the doors to creativity. Aid clients in achieving natural-looking bends and curls with braided accents. The blondest blondes greet the season, but on-trend pastels—blue, pink, lavender—will be in high demand. Trends predict that clients will look to experiment with ribbons of color along with their all-over coverage. Shimmering nails and glowing skin can complete the look.
“This spring, we are thrilled to transport you to the enchanting world of Modern Fairytale, a theme that captures evolving trends from runway to street style. In both fashion and beauty there’s a predominance of metallics and gemstone colors, and now holographic and iridescent tones are hotter than ever,” says Jen Wilder, CosmoProf group vice president, marketing. “Vibrant hues are softening—we are seeing other-worldly colors translated into wearable, on-trend looks.”
Emerging from Millennial Pink, the beautiful Pantone color of Rose Quartz then led to this year’s Ultra Violet. “Our CosmoProf brand partners are industry leading, and we love the products, packaging and colors they designed for our Modern Fairytale theme,” Wilder continues. “This spring, introduce your clients to items fresh and fun from the brands they love and trust! These gorgeous items will be a beautiful addition to any stylist station, as well as a great opportunity to drive retail revenue. Thank you for joining us on this magical journey; we hope this spring you create your own Modern Fairytale and use these items to help make your dreams—and your clients’ dreams—come true.”
To celebrate the theme, three members of the 2018 CosmoProf Artistic Team met to develop Modern Fairytale inspirational looks. Using color and styling, they created whimsical styles ideal for proms, weddings and special occasions. The behind-the-scenes shots shown here give you an idea of how the team brought Modern Fairytale to life. The results are a pair of beautiful looks to inspire your own interpretations of the theme.
