2014 was OMBRE – 2015 is SOMBRE!

2014 was OMBRE – 2015 is SOMBRE!

Are you looking to update your tired #Ombrehaircolor with #Sombrehair- the trending hair color of 2015?  That’s right – exit Ombre hair – enter Sombre hair!  Finally something new on the haircolor and hair styling scene! Top Beverly Hills colorists like Cal Martini     who loads his Paint brushes with #Beth MinardisSignature fresh new shades and tones down his client’s high contrast Ombre locks with this new, grown-up hair color palette.

#Hair and #BeautyTrends of 2015 are all about looking natural and subtle, and SOMBRE is the perfect way to move into this new trend – a beauty trend which demands a lot more skill and artistic talent to achieve! Where Ombre locks dominated the beauty scene with their bold hair colors, and no-apologies-here contrasts in tone, SOMBRE uses these tones as a base, but takes them down several notches.

 

 

IN 2015 beauty, your face has to look clean and simple – nude lips, subtle eyes and perfect, flawless skin tones.  SOMBRE  hair works with your new, pale makeup palette. It is a more mysterious look  than Ombre, created with subtle “hand painting” of #haircolor called #Balayage , to the hair around the face to kick your skin’s color and texture to luminous.  But natural does NOT mean boring.  There is a a very gradual ascent from these muted tones into a brighter shade of whatever your natural hair color is. That’s right – thanks to this subtle and more polished look it’s equally suited for redheads, blondes and brunettes.  However, buyer beware – just because Sombre is less bold, it does not mean it is easier to do.

Now more than ever you need a great hair colorist who is an artist at placing those perfect

#highlights around your face. This is where your #haircolorist needs to have #Artistic Skills to bring your “Hair Color to an Art Form.” Your #colorist needs to understand tones and how they work with your skin color. Your colorist needs to be able to fade colors subtly without allowing them to lose their kick, their vibrance and their touchable quality. Subtle does NOT mean shabby, or boring or – worst of all – something you can do at home!!!! NO!
