Warm Tones
Multi-tonal coloring’s charm lies in the skillful placement of colors to complement your skin tone, personal style and hair texture – it can even serve as a representation of yourself! When executed perfectly, multi-tonal coloring becomes a masterwork that tells a unique tale about yourself.
Warm blonde shades pair beautifully with any of the highlighting techniques–ombre, dip-dye or balayage (Opens in new tab)–that you choose to highlight them with. A focus of warmth at your roots brings out cooler tones throughout midlengths and ends that can be painted freehand for an eye-catching finish.
Customized Hair Color blends from our professional colorist are tailored specifically to you and your goals, including personalized instructions and all the tools necessary for at-home application. Each box contains your special shade along with everything necessary for easy at-home application.
Cool Tones
Cool tones typically feature green, blue, lavender or gray hues as their undertone. They pair beautifully with beige tones featuring icy or cool undertones; whites; blacks & cooler leaning neutrals.
Combining multiple hues can create the ideal hue for you. Our Duo Colour blends can help you customize a shade just for yourself – whether that means going bronde or lightening to platinum! Our Duo Color custom-blended solutions can deliver just that result.
Dimensional color is a technique that uses multiple hues to achieve an allover sun-kissed effect, often through balayage techniques. This approach provides more natural results than full coverage with foils.
Complementary Tones
Mastering color theory allows stylists to craft seamless hair color blends that suit individual client skin tones and preferences. By mixing exact ratios, controlling their tones of application, and creating multi-tonal effects suited for their clients’ skin tones and style preferences.
Complementary colors lie on opposite ends of the color wheel, creating vibrant contrast that draws the eye. They can be used to create highlights and lowlights while neutralizing or accentuating certain hues.
Mastering advanced blending techniques such as those employed in balayage is essential to creating customized looks, such as those seen with Alter Ego Italy’s Technofruit line of tones that allows stylists to achieve any effect they want using this versatile system.
Analogous Tones
Analogous colors offer a more subtle, natural aesthetic when creating an analogous scheme. An analogous palette consists of three adjacent hues on the basic color wheel; such as blue-green and green as they can often be found in nature.
These colors create an aesthetically pleasing design by providing a low-contrast palette with variations in saturation and brightness.
Analogous tones can make for an ideal hair color blend when it comes to regrowth or touch-up, as they’re both easy on the eyes and blend naturally with existing colors.
Sombre
As the latest variation on ombre, sombre offers clients a sun-kissed look with a more subdued transition. Ideal for brunettes as the hue fades to golden or honey tones creating low contrast style that looks good with any hair texture type.
Sombre is a technique which utilizes several shades of similar cool tones to produce a gradual gradient effect on strands of hair, imitating natural lighting on individual strands of tresses. A rose gold Sombre may gradually fade into pastel pink for an effortless beachy glow.
Color Melt
Color Melt is an innovative hair coloring technique that blends multiple hues of hair color in an aesthetically pleasing manner, unlike ombre and sombre which utilize gradual transitions, usually three or more hues are combined for this look, even bold fashion colors such as pink and purple can be used effectively with color melts.
This technique can be performed either using highlights or balayage; highlights are hand painted highlights that create sun-kissed looks while balayage provides natural transitioning from darker to lighter strands. You may combine both techniques for an even stronger melting effect.
