Not sure which to use? Here are a few quick tips to use as a guide for getting the most out of cool toners:

Shades EQ VB’s are formulated to use on clients who pull extremely warm and need an extra cool kick. This is what makes the new Shades EQ VB’s so different! For example, if you were just to use blue to combat orange or only violet to combat yellow, your end result would be neutralized but not necessarily cool. With the primary tone of Violet and a secondary tone of Blue, it takes the process one step further by not only neutralizing but adding a cool finish as well. They provide a new level of dual-spectrum brass neutralization for yellow and orange undertones. Giving stylists even more options behind the chair, Redken has created the new VB family of Shades EQ, which contains both blue and violet tones. After lifting to the desired level, Shades EQ should always be the next step! Not only does it add shine and conditioning, but it also equalizes color and enhances their tone.

As a stylist, you know that most brunettes and blondes naturally pull warmth during this process. This usually involves a mix of balayage and foils to create a bespoke look for your client. From the salon to home-care there are a multitude of ways to neutralize unwanted hues and Redken has just created a new and exciting way to create ultra-cool tones in the salon! The new Shades EQ Violet Blue family is specially formulated for correcting tones and adding a cool effect to any color.Īs summer begins to heat up, you may notice more and more clients asking for highlights to brighten things up after the long winter. Pretty much since the beginning of time stylists and clients alike have been looking for ways to combat yellow and orange undertones in hair color.
