“It’s perfect for lowlights because of the quick processing time and the delicate balance of lightening and depositing at once. It makes for extreme convenience. I love to use 7-12 with 3% (10-volume) for a cool lowlight. If I want to add warmth and/or reduce ashy tones, 5-5 and 6-4 are my favorite shades,” shares Amber Dawn, Schwarzkopf Professional Brand Ambassador & Celebrity Hairstylist.

Talking Money
Although this service is quick, that does not make is any less valuable. Be sure to explain to your clients that, as a colorist you put the same effort into the application as you would with any other color service. IGORA COLOR10 is a premium formula which means you could actually charge more for the convenience as you would with any other express service. So don’t downplay your work, make sure you’re making what you deserve.

“My favorite shades are 7-12, 7-0, 5-12 and 5-0 to base break hair, Level 1-5 in 10 minutes. It’s easier to break the base on Level 7 and up, but dark hair foils are hard because the hair will turn a ratchet skank orange,” notes Guy Tang, Celebrity Hair Artist & Color Educator.

Guy’s Go-To Tips
1. If a client comes in with natural Level 2 at the regrowth and 3 inches of Level 6 grown out color of 6 ash from your previous color service, use 7-12 6% (20-volume) or even 9% (30-volume) if the hair is coarse.

2. You can break the base while blending in stripey highlights simultaneously at the regrowth area.
