Colour Touch Melt - Service Principles
1. Define your client's colour palette
Inspire clients to consider a more personalised colour result. This will in turn allow for more client loyalty and increased average revenue. Remember, every salon can offer a full head tint.
2. Deepen the roots
Add a deep root colour to blend away your client‘s regrowth. Consider if you have a % of grey hair do you need Color Touch Plus for up to 70% grey coverage or Koleston Perfect for up to 100% grey coverage?
3. Alternate shades through ends
Use up to 3-5 shades from the palette which vary in depth and tone. Consider your placement: diagonal forward for a softer colour melt or vertical sections for more defined ribbons of colour.
4. Seamlessly Melt
For the last 5 minutes of development, comb all the shades together to seamlessly blend the colours.
