Fifth Avenue Blonde Bob

Style

A polished, fashion-forward blonde bob with a sleek finish and statement bangs. Sharp yet sophisticated, this look blends timeless elegance with a modern edge — perfect for a powerful, city-chic vibe.

Cut

  • Blunt bob cut just below the chin for maximum impact

  • Precision-cut ends for a clean, sharp line

  • Full, slightly feathered fringe frames the eyes to soften the strong shape

Color

  • Base: Luminous Level 10 platinum blonde

  • Lowlights: Subtle Level 9 ribbons for depth and balance

  • Effect: Striking brightness that remains wearable and multidimensional

Toner

  • Level 10 T (Titanium/Platinum): Creates a crisp, cool blonde and eliminates brassiness

  • Level 10 N (Neutral): Softens the finish for a creamier, more natural blonde tone

Pro Tip

When speaking with your colorist, say:
“I’d like The Fifth Avenue Blonde Bob — a precision chin-length bob with bangs, a platinum blonde base, and a Level 10 toner. Titanium for a cooler, high-fashion finish, or Neutral for a softer, cream tone.”

Soho Red Waves

Style

A bold yet wearable red with luminous movement. Styled in polished waves that catch the light, this look offers a glamorous yet effortless downtown edge. Vibrant, confident, and full of energy, it makes a striking statement.

Cut

  • Long layers shaped to encourage flow and body

  • Softly texturized ends for natural movement

  • Face-framing layers enhance balance and complement the sweeping waves

Color

  • Base: Rich Level 6 copper-red

  • Highlights: Wet balayage woven through mid-lengths and ends

  • Effect: Adds dimension, contrast, and reflective brightness while preventing flatness

Toner

  • Level 9 AA: Refines highlights with lifted brightness

  • Level 9 AA + Level 7 CR (Copper-Red): Creates a red-copper-blonde finish that balances vibrancy with softness and depth

Pro Tip

When speaking with your colorist, say:
“I’d like Soho Red Waves — a Level 6 copper-red base with wet balayage highlights, finished with 9AA or a 9AA + 7CR mix for a lifted red-copper-blonde effect.”

Tribeca Brunette Glow

Style

A luminous, natural brunette with soft reflective dimension. This look balances richness with radiance, leaving the hair glossy, effortless, and elevated — the perfect polished city vibe.

Cut

  • Long layers carved through the lengths for flow and natural movement

  • Lightly texturized ends for softness

  • Subtle face-framing pieces to contour and highlight cheekbones and jawline

Color

  • Base: Level 5 brunette

  • Highlights: Fine Level 7 caramel highlights around mid-lengths and face

  • Effect: Mimics sunlight with a seamless transition, keeping the brunette rich while adding glow

Toner

  • Level 7 NB (Natural Brown): Smooth, balanced finish that blends highlights into the base

  • Level 7 GB (Golden Beige): Warmer, sunlit caramel glow for added radiance

Pro Tip

When speaking with your colorist, say:
“I’d like Tribeca Brunette Glow — a Level 5 brunette base with fine Level 7 caramel highlights, finished with Natural Brown toner for balance or Golden Beige for warmth.”
