Meet the color series that delivers a multi-dimensional pure pearlescent effect.
Melissa (@melissameltss) and Gabby (@glam_by_gabbyy) worked to create this transformation in one day. The salon duo took their client from a deep brown, with some banding and also hair that had never been colored, to this bright blonde. They relied on some of their favorite products and plenty of time.
It's a matter of layering tone-on-tone for a coppery result that even the cleverest client couldn’t conjure up at home.
Toning can make all the difference between a run-of-the-mill blonde and an oh-so-special blonde.
Multidimensional, shimmering tones are what we associate with lived-in hair color. It can be achieved, along with full coverage, and softer, more blended regrowth with this new line.
“My new client came to me with more bands than you’ll ever see," Carly Brown says. "I knew this was going to be a HUGE challenge! Thankfully her hair surprised me and it did exactly what I wanted it to first time... YAY!”
Denise Mahoney (@colourauthority) of Colour Authority Salon and Spa, Portland, Oregon, says first time client Samantha came in with very warm ends and about 6 months of regrowth looking for a color upgrade. Details here.
The secret to cool platinum blonde, balayage and brunette highlights is neutralizing unwanted yellow or orange undertones.
Amy Malarchik has been referred to as the “Transformation Queen." This color conversion is particularly inspiring. Noting that she is the ideal client to get the brightest blonde, Malarchik says she has "a base color that just lifts to the perfect pale yellow where the toner can do everything I want it to." See what happens after some highlights and perfect toning.
