Return of Deep Reds with new Shadowlights featuring Koleston Perfect
Classic highlights are a core service in the salon, but how do we transform monochrome highlights to add dimensions that look near enough to appear natural? This season’s preferred technique which features pure glossing by Koleston Perfect, is Shadowlights. Upgrade your classic monochromatic highlights to a dimensional multi-tonal look using Shadowlights. Explore the newly launched MAPLE BRUNETTE look created by Wella Ambassador Patricia Nicole @Paintedhair. Discover how contrasting tones such as warm against cool or complementary shades such as violet to copper can transform your clients’ highlights. You will find that it is not equal parts of tones but against a base color and an accent shade. Modernizing shade selection and placement brings together the hypernatural multi tones clients love now without creating stripy highlights.
Shadowlights VS Classic Highlights

Shadowlights

Fine Weave
