The Sombré by Robert Edick

Revitalize your client’s ombré by softening it into Sombré. This stunning, multi-tonal color is the perfect transition toward summer hair. It has subtle sun-kissed golden strands set against romantic shades of warm sand. To accomplish this look, Phenix Salon Suites, International Art Director, Robert Edick, deepened the base and color-melted into lighter ends using 3DeLuXe Professional Color and 3DeLuXe Lightener. Not only will this technique soften the overall look, but the color itself will soften and smooth the cuticle of your client’s hair.
