Ever see a hair color so beautiful, it literally stops you in your tracks? Get set for “Sunset Coral,” a luscious new mingle of orange, bronze, and pink tones from the Secret Menu of Joico Celebrity Artist, Jill Buck, of Salon Nine Zero One.

THE BACK STORY
“My client was having a big birthday and was hoping for a change that would still be very wearable for every day, yet very bold and different from her natural look,” explains Jill. Knowing that pastels and soft shades have been trending for a few years — and have actually become an acceptable color in most work places – Jill settled on a rosy hair color…the perfect bold statement for her client’s celebration. What makes this look different from other pinked-up ‘dos? “Adding an element of orange and bronze softens the pink and sets it apart,” adds Jill.

JILL’S START-AND-FINISH TRICK
The key to bringing out vibrancy and shine? Starting and ending every service with Defy Damage ProSeries:

Pro Series 1 is a dry aerosol spray that is applied in short bursts to dry hair prior to any chemical service. It’s designed to protect bonds in the hair from degradation that occurs during color, lightening, perming, and straightening services. Big bonus? There’s no need to reformulate your color, adjust your developer, or change your process timing–just shake the can vigorously, apply to clean dry hair then apply Jill’s fabulous Root Rap formula.

When processing is complete, rinse and apply Defy Damage Shampoo, followed by Pro Series 2 for five minutes. This game-changing product will restore and regenerate bonds while locking in color: the perfect way to bring out the radiance in red.
