This day was pretty intensive working behind the scenes. We are always willing to do whatever it takes such as shampooing their models, applying haircolor, blow drying and styling hair for them. Even though this may be a help to them with all of the models they work on, we felt prvilieged to work with them all day. We were the ones that had the opportunity to learn more advanced thinking on “how” they formulated haircolor, how they strategically managed the design of the cut for the model’s face in addition to what they were demonstrating for the show. We also experienced some pretty cool ways to highlight and to use the NEW Innosense haircolor product line that prevents scalps from itching. We learned how to use this really cool product called Color I.D. This was the most amazing part of the “shadowing”.

Blurring the lines from highlighting this fall and winter 2014

Color I.D. allows the stylist to formulate a color and then we can add an ingredient to the formula and actually lay it onto the next color without it bleeding onto the next color laying on top of it. As you can see in this photo that the depth of the amethyst olor on the bottom and base is a stunning backdrop for the vibrant red violete mahogany color on the top and sides. We are calling this collection “Blurring the lines” which blends the scalp into the highlighting, balayage, and the other colors that sit next to the  the base root color.

Spring 2014 is one of excitement and high glamour coming up with the Red Carpet runway. I say let’s join them with the red hair contrasting with orange or peek a boo color emerging out of the bangs. Sprigs of color are popping out everywhere for freedom of expression.

If you have red hair this vibrant, no need to be a wallflower this season, flaunt it to the world how proud you are to have red auburn hair, orange tangerine hair color  with the golden apricot colors.

We are seeing some surface shine color techniques that show off fine hair on the top longer lengths vs the shaved sides enhanced with darker colored sides of the head.

New techniques that are in store for 2014. Try Sombre’ a combination of Ombre with the thicker highlights that naturally would be darker through the top root area. Balayage is natural painted highlights throughout the top of the head down to the mid length and ends.

You know the old saying, “what’s old is what’s new” is back again. I realized that we have so many unique glazing opportunities to give shine and strength to the hair. We will take the tangerine shade and glaze it over a golden hue or over a darker auburn to give more warmth and shine in the light that is reflected.

In some areas we are over pigmenting with the blush shades in specific areas of the hair to enhance the pinks, purples, bright oranges, and the intense red shades. We can even multi-tone, multi-layer haircolor because it’s so safe for the hair and scalp.

The new blushing reds by Wella Illumina have arrived. These stunning beauties start off with natural looking blah color and are turned into stunning models. This model has three different colors that are infused with golden blonde, a mixture of a copper with lighter blonde creating a more “apricot” color affect. The new color processes only take about 1 1/2 hours to actually figure out which colors are best for your skin tone and then we decide how much natural highlighting we will do for you and then we tone the colors with a special pastel tone that is more translucent in color that make the hair feel and look like silk.

Wella does have a patent on the ingredients of the color. Otherwise, I would have already found out because I love knowing what goes into the haircolor that I’m using on my clients.

If you love this haircolor leave a comment. I will be updating with the new photos of what is going on for Spring and Summer.

Don’t forget our color Explosion day March 15, 2014 from 8a – 4. This day is by far the my most favorite day of the year. We have some many of our clients that visit us this day for their hair color and highlights. I wanted to extend a courtesy to all my color friends out their in York PA. If you haven’t been to our salon yet, feel free to give us a call at 717.846.4424 to schedule a consultation for any one of the four – eleven new hair colors. We will take the time to provide a consultation, figure out the color best suited for your skin type, we will look at your texture of hair to see which color line would be better and we can recommend a new haircut for you either before or after the color explosion.

Let us know!

This technique can be performed on reds, brunettes, and blondes and should be customized for your skin tone. It is a low maintenance color after initial application. All you have to do is have your color at the root maintained every 4 weeks and a color balance every other time to even out and refresh the tones on the hair.

Josh Wood is the Professional Global Creative Director of Colour for Wella, the creators of Illumina. Josh, one of the leading haircolorists in the world, explains:

“For me ILLUMINA COLOR conjures up daylight for hair – a shine and luminescence that shows the personality within hair. With this product we translated the need for light in hair. The challenge was to make hair seem alight with sunshine, so we’ve achieved the vision of the colour result… as well as ensuring kindness and health to hair.”
