“The NEW OSMO IKON Hi-Lift Red series, give a bright, intense look to darker natural shades that we would typically have to pre-lift or mix into the other red copper choices on the chart to provide the results with a more vivid boost. Being able to add a red lifting choice into an already tinted brown without the need to pre-lift will be a real plus to any salon in busy times. Offering more options and choices to our clients with minimum fuss? Who doesn’t love to over-deliver when going for that loyal customer base!
