PEARL COLOR TECHNIQUE:
This technique delivers a show-stopping blonde finish with a perfect harmony of violet and ash tones that enhance and soften blonde hues. We recommend 4-6 weeks between appointments for darker-based clients, or 6-8 weeks for a highlight retouch on lighter-based clients. Toning between services to maintain the
pearl tone is optimal.

Step 1
To begin, section the hair by creating a horseshoe section at the top of the head from top of eyebrow and back to crown.
Step 2
Section each side below the top section and behind the ear. Beginning in the back, take a subsection from the back of the ear to the nape using diagonal back slices. Gently backcomb and apply formula.
Step 3
At the top of the side section take a slice from the top of the remaining hair and gently backcomb and apply Formula A with the balayage technique.
Step 4
Next, move on to the side sections. Take a diagonal section along the hairline, weave babylights, applying Formula B from scalp to ends. Alternate lowlight at 3:1 ratio depending on the density of the hair.
Step 5
On top section, working in the back towards the front, take a horizontal ¼-inch weaved section and apply Formula B. Make sure to fully saturate the hair from mid-section to ends and feather the formula up toward the scalp for a natural blend. Alternate with lowlights formula C at a 3:1 ratio. Continue forward until you reach the center of the top section.
Step 6
Now move to the front and apply a micro weave at the hairline. Continue with back-to-back foils for a total of 3. Then apply a teasy light feathering at the root followed by a lowlight using Formula C.
Step 7
Continue foiling with Formulas B and C at a 3:1 ratio throughout the rest of the front top section.
Step 8
After processing rinse, then tone from crown down to the nape with Formula D, continuing to front section with Formula E.
Step 9
Process 5-20 minutes. Rinse and shampoo with ColorDesign Arctic Blonde Shampoo and condition with ColorDesign’s Reconstruction Mask.
Let’s not forget Color Design’s Shiny Blonde, a clay-based, drip-free cream lightener designed for off-the-scalp application is infused with natural oils that prevent the mixture from drying out, while creating an optimal hydrolipid balance that leaves hair soft and shiny.
