Hair Colorist Wednesday: Celebrity Hair Color Formula

greg —  October 27, 2010 — 1 Comment


This week we are going to break down Jessica Biel’s new color. Thoughts, opinions, etc!

Tis the season to be brown right?
So lets start with my thoughts.
Personally, for me it’s just a tad to dark. I think on her I would have loved to see a level lighter.
With that said, I would like to state that I am quite the fan of this color. I think it’s a beautiful fall color and I love the concept of keeping the subtle dimension underneath.
Oooooober trendy in a subtle way and I am cool with that.
You know getting back to my opinion… as I am writing this I am looking back at her with this color and I know what would make me love this on her! It’s the brows. Give her a darker or stronger brow and I am all in for this shade on her!
So enough with the fuss right? Lets get on with it. And of course this is my concept/opinion of the formula, I would love to hear yours as well!
Formula:
Looking at this shade I see a lot of depth and a lot of background. Not quite as much tonality to this shade. The process of filling is a non factor if formulated properly and working with two formulas – The top and bottom sections.
Lets start with the formula on top – Level 3N (Neutral) and equal parts Level 4G (Gold Brown) of your favorite Demi based permanent hair color.
Now the highlighted areas – Level 5G (Gold Brown) and equal parts Level 4WG (Warmest Gold Brown – yellow/orange tone)
What do you think?

Here is another great Color Formula!

This week we are taking our over highlighted medium to light blonde (Level 9) to a beautiful Golden Medium Brown with natural golden highlights.
Ready Set Go!
Starting Level: Natural Level 6 with Level 9 Blonde (Gold/Yellow) Highlights
Desired Level: Level 6 Golden Brown with Level 7 Golden Beige Highlights
Here are the steps!
Step 1: Retouch the previous highlights with a low level lightener, such as a powder lightener with a 10 volume developer. Apply this formula using baby fine highlights taking horizontal sections from the bottom to the top on both sides. Apply a conditioner based product, such as Cholesterol to the ends of the hair to isolate it inside of the foil.
Step 2: In between the foils apply – Formula #1 = 2 Parts Level 5 Gold – Shades 5G & 1 Part 4 Warmest Gold – Shades 4WG from roots to ends.
Step 3: Process for 20 min
Step 4: Shampoo Hair and Apply Glaze Formula from roots to ends (equal parts of Level 7 Golden Beige – Shades 7GB & Level 8 Warmest Gold – Shades 8WG)
Step 5: Process 20 min

Ashlee Simpsons New Hair: What Do You Think?

greg —  October 19, 2010 — 1 Comment


Ashlee Simpson hits our blog again. She has an impact on us and an excitement when it comes to hair fashion!

Her Husband band rocker, Pete Wentz, posted a twitter pic saying how much he loved Ahslee’s new hair.
What do you think?
My thoughts?: Well I think it’s fabulous! For two reasons

1. It will drive people into the salon! I mean this is such a statement and such an amazing look! We are seeing a lot of stars bring their long luscious locks to a short pixie from Michelle Williams to Carey Mullingan to of course Ashlee Simpson. This very well may be the start of a wonderful trend!

2. She looks amazing! I think she is becoming quite the fashionista and with this look, she does it again!

Hair Colorist Wednesday: Color Formula!

greg —  October 14, 2010 — 1 Comment


Here is a great formula for Blondes I use all the time and oh so perfect for the Fall. We have talked a lot about taking blondes deeper and adding some more depth to your blonde. Well here is a fun way to take a NL 7 virgin guest to a perfect shade of dimensional blonde.

Base Level = 7
Alternate Formula 1, 2 & 3 in your standard formula manner for virgin application. Utilize extremely fine weaves throughout. The goal is to create an array of colors that give a beautiful dimension of color.
I use Redken Color So I will give you my Redken Formulas that I use. However, feel free to use the brand that you are most comfortable with.
1. Your favorite powder lightener with 20 volume (Redken Up to 7)
2. Your favorite high lift/double blonde Blue/Violet tone (Double Fusion = parts of AV & AB)
3. Demi-Permenant Level 7 Gold Tone (Shades EQ 7GB)
The result is beautiful and extremely low maintenance and pretty much the perfect color for a NL 7 looking to spice it up for the fall!
