Take Your Toning Services to the Next Level with Blonde Toning
Blonde Toning such as this sunkissed hue by Zoë Irwin, can be used to create a sheer pastel or opalescent metallic sheen after pre-lightening.
Transformational Toning gives results such as this gorgeous metallic rose gold created by James Earnshaw, that will make your clients’ colour pop before they leave your salon.
James Earnshaw, Wella Professionals UK & Ireland Digital Colour Ambassador says:
Zoë Irwin, Wella Professionals Colour Trends Expert explains:
The technique I love using is Palm Painting which is from the French way of balayaging.
