If your client is looking to go copper, this is their OFFICIAL sign to embrace rich, warm tones. Celebs like Kendall Jenner, Zendaya and “Euphoria” star Barbie Ferreira are giving our guests every reason to say “yes!” to copper balayage, aka a dimensional red that enhances natural tones and reflects lights. Are you ready to try this cool girl look on your clientele? Here are some how-to steps and color formulas from Chris Weber (@chrisweberhair) to get you started! Just keep scrollin’. 

 

What does a maintenance appointment look like?

For this service, Chris books a client for a root touch-up and toner refresh six to eight weeks later (depending on their at-home haircare.) Every four months, Chris recommends bringing clients in for soft balayage to maintain dimensional color.
