My Gasoline Rainbow

A revolutionary colour is in town and it's none other than Redken Chromatics. A brand new delivery system that puts the zing and sparkle back into your hair to leave it healthier and shinier than never before. I was lucky enough to have my colour touched up with this amazing new technology as I start to take my balayage lighter. From icy platinum blondes to pastel pinks, violets and vibrant reds Redken Chromatics will 100% cover your grays and leave your hair shiny and strong! With just a few foils, the Redken Chromatic colour has now freshened up my blonde balayage and given me a cleaner lighter brighter look and now the top has a deeper brunette removing the auburn that I so dread. Love the colour, and even a few days later, my hair is still soft and shiny. So if you are due for a colour - make an appointment with NV Design Studio and get your Chromatic on!
