Use These Pro Tips To Slay The Base
- Precise Application – Mika recommends using Redken Color Gels Lacquers because the gel consistency provides quick and consistent results with ultra-precision—this is key to avoid color bleeding!
- Why Not Gloss? – Color Gels Lacquers has the high shine of a gloss but the saturation and coverage of a lacquer, and pairs perfectly with Redken Shades EQ.
- Hello, Gray Coverage! – Balayage clients love how their color grows out naturally, so this permanent conditioning haircolor provides long-lasting coverage that help extend overall results.

Developer Guide – Here’s how Mika chooses what volume developer she uses with Color Gels Lacquers at the base:
- 10-volume: Depositing only or enhancing the client’s tone.
- 20-volume: Gray coverage.
