Bomb-Ass White. What other name could describe the perfect platinum blonde à la Ms. Miley Cyrus that Justin Anderson demonstrated on the BTC “On Tour” stage? Oh, by the way, this was our first-ever “On Tour” event, and we featured a stellar lineup of celebrity stylists giving us the dish on their coloring, cutting and styling secrets. It was kind of a big deal, especially since we took over the iconic Chicago Theatre, complete with “BTC” and “sold outon the marquee! And GUESS WHAT? We’re going back “On Tour” in May at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles! Tickets are on sale NOW!

 

On stage, Justin was very precise and cognizant of how he mixed the color formula—he compared the texture and sheen of the lightener to sour cream—and how he applied the lightener. All over toner? Hell no! One solid tone across the length of the hair? Nope, not gonna happen! If you missed the adorbs Justin on the “On Tour” stage, you’re in luck: he gave us the full scoop on how he brings this bodacious blonde to life—you have to check it out!
