Don’t be surprised if your clients start requesting bold hues that are a little more smoky. Wearable, smoky hues are super on-trend right now! This smoky magenta how-to comes from Hai Tran (@hai.stylist), a stylist at Salon Q in Wichita, Kan., using all L’ANZA Healing Haircare VIBES color formulas from their Smoke & Mirrors series.

 

“We’re now seeing silver hues turn darker—almost in between black,” says Leah Freeman, L’ANZA Global Color Director. “VIBES Smoke creates incredible depth and darkness, without the permanence of black, and can be blended with other VIBES shades to create an antique or jewel-toned effect.”
