When we saw this makeover on Instagram, we had to know more. Hairdresser Nicole Boccio of Cactus Salon and Spa (@cactussalonsmithtown), Smithtown, New York, says "I had been doing a doubled processed blonde on Kelly Sampson for some time now. She came requesting 'mermaid hair'. She had 2 inches of level 5 roots." Here Boccio shares the details for this makeover.
Vanessa Castro (@extraglossy_) from NYC says she is "obsessed with doing hair - especially color corrections. I love that they challenge me to think and always try new things." Here she had an opportunity to meet a challenge head on in a correction that took 6 1/2 hours.
Kim Bruce (@themisfitblonde), co-owner of Monroe on Mane (@monroeonmane), Sturbridge, MA., specializes in blondes and hairdressing. "This guest has been a client of mine for almost a year now. It has taken four sessions to achieve our desired shade of silver blonde." Here Bruce shares the details for the transformation.
Coryn Eyring (@corynneylon_hair.) of Charles Scott Salon (right outside Cleveland, Ohio) says her client "came in with level 2 hair, in her words 'not black', and brassy orange ends. She begged me for an ashy/natural level 6/7 root. She did not want to see any red, which is always a task."
MODERN received the following notice from Coty Professional Beauty and Wella Professionals regarding the arrangements to celebrate the life of Fabio Sementilli. Here we share the details:
Clairol Professional presents the latest development in fearless and individual hair color, with the introduction of the new FLARE Me collection. Details here.
Jamie Millmather (@jmillmather) of La La Luxe Salon, Providence, Rhode Island, is a certified Wella master color expert and a Wella brand educator. Client Renee “was referred to me by another hairstylist when she wanted to take the journey to silver hair." Here Millmather shares the how-to.
It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Coty Professional Beauty Vice President of Education Fabio Sementilli who died suddenly and tragically yesterday. His death leaves a devastated family in Los Angeles and Toronto and literally thousands of bereft professional brothers and sisters all over the world.
A beautiful, dimensional makeover.
This client arrived with about four inches of regrowth (natural level 7) and some existing highlights which were originally copper. Get the formula for this touch-up.
This client came in with faded red tones in her hair. After two in-salon visits, colorist Nicole Healy of Vision Blonde helped her achieve her goal color, which was a bright, creamy, vanilla blonde.
Color specialist Gina Bianca uses balayage as the foundation for most of her looks, often referring to the technique as “building the house.” Here, she explains.
MODERN invited the U.S. gold winners of Wella’s North American TrendVision Awards to our NYC studio to interpret the seasonal trends revealed at Barcelona’s International TrendVision.
Marianne Lohr, a freelance artist based in Bethlehem, PA, reveals how she got rid of her client's banded gold hue and turned it into a cool, rooted blonde.
Connie Delamora (@ConnieCouture) of Studio One Salon, Kennewick, Washington, says, "My client came in to me with a grown out balayage from summer. She was ready for change. I first started by removing about 6 inches to have a better idea of where I would be painting with lightener." Here she shares the details for the fresh color.
At Wella’s Master Color Expert training, attendees learn everything from the anatomy of a hair follicle to how to consult with real clients, to everything in between.
Three Master Color Expert participants explain why they signed up, and what they will take away from this experience and back to their own salons.
