When it comes to hair colour and mixing formulas, it is imperative to learn, create, and implement new techniques in the salon. One of COLOR.ME by KEVIN.MURPHY’s favourite methods are the addition of BOOSTERS in hair colour formulas. BOOSTERS are highly concentrated shades such as GREEN, BLUE, YELLOW or PINK.VIOLET that can be mixed into any existing hair colour.

If runway shows were any indication, individualisation is a key trend this year and unique shades are exactly what the clients will be looking for this season. “BOOSTERS allow me to create infinite colour possibilities while keeping up with client demands for unique, tailor-made SHADES, personalisation and colour customisation,” says COLOR.ME COLOR.MASTER Leland Olson. This is the easiest way to make your colour stand out from the rest and to put your own personal spin on a style! 

Boosters are such great tools when it comes to perfecting your hair colour because they add intrigue and depth to any shade and create infinite possibilities within the range.  “Whether I’m looking to BRIGHTEN, ENHANCE, or CUSTOMISE a colour formula, BOOSTERS allow me to create endless colour formulas using COLOR.ME by KEVIN.MURPHY. I love adding ORANGE or YELLOW BOOSTER to brighten my colours, where BOOSTERS like BLUE or GREEN help to add extra coolness and depth to my results,” says COLOR.ME COLOR.MASTER Leland Olson.
