Add a touch of serenity and playful escapism with purposeful tones of the digital lavender, enhanced by the potency of clear blonde.​Showcase the Wella Professionals colour spectrum by creating stunning colour that is multi-dimensional, glossy, healthy looking and premium. We see high shine and movement, using complementary and harmonised tones.

Let’s create dimensionalised lightness, showcasing the beauty that evolves classic looks but twists them into a new era, showcasing endless possibilities. Using our most advanced lightener, Blondorplex, KPME+ for richness and intensity, Illumina Color with superior shine, Glazing with Shinefinity, Color Touch for toning, the choice is yours. Achieving the right level of lightening prior will create the ideal canvas for the mauve tone direction.
