These two holiday-perfect color techniques from Joico Global Brand Ambassador, Larisa Love, are dreamy and delicious – and sure to bring in plenty of clients this season; especially if you add a few creative marketing moves to your menu. Here’s how to make it happen…
Caramel Swirl Latte: a rich, gilded brunette.
Snow White Blonde: glistening and oh-so-bright.
HOLIDAY COLOR #1: CARAMEL SWIRL LATTÉ
With gilded highlights dancing through brunette hair, this luscious look is just the ticket for a sparkling holiday season. “It’s perfect, because the color is rich and warm – just the way you want your hot cocoa on a cold winter day,” says Larisa, who explains that gleaming warm tones are perfect for the cooler season, a time when hair can feel dry and look dull. “These rich tones bring out a much-needed shine and vibrancy.”
THE FORMULA:
- Lifted with Blonde Life Lightening Powder, starting with 20 Volume LumiShine Developer and finished with 35 Volume (30 + 40).
- Toned with LumiShine Demi-Permanent Liquid 8NW + 8NG with 5 Volume LumiShine Developer.

HOLIDAY COLOR #2: SNOW WHITE BLONDE
Icing up those dark days of winter – and dark hair – with cool-as-can be blonde, is an edgy and elegant way to usher in the season. “This look is perfect for the holidays, because it adds a welcome brightness just when you need it,” explains Larisa.
