At Root Salon and Studio, Color Clique collaborates with color artist Adrian Billot to transform hair into breathtaking statements of artistry and style. Adrian’s latest look combines depth, vibrancy, and expert blending techniques with Color Clique’s signature shades—Pink Voodoo and Purple Masquerade. Here’s how Adrian brought this captivating, dimensional look to life, starting with a natural level 6 base.
PREPARING A BALANCED CANVAS
Adrian began by prepping the hair with Wella BlondorPlex and 20-volume developer, focusing on the new growth to lift it to a pale yellow. After lightening, he toned with Shades EQ in 10VV and 10GRO, creating a soft, even base. This careful preparation provided an ideal canvas, allowing the vibrant colors to shine through with full intensity.
ADRIAN’S SIGNATURE SECTIONING AND COLOR TECHNIQUE
Achieving this dynamic, multi-dimensional look involved meticulous sectioning and color application, a hallmark of Adrian’s artistry. Here’s the technique breakdown:
Root Application: Working in quadrants, Adrian applied full-strength Pink Voodoo to the first 2-3 inches of new growth. This root depth gives the color an anchored, dimensional base, allowing the lighter shades to transition effortlessly. From the nape upward, he sectioned in a V-shape pattern through the back of the head, ensuring a seamless color flow from roots to ends.
Mid-Length Melting Technique:Adrian used 1/2-inch sections, alternating between diluted Pink Voodoo, diluted Purple Masquerade, and full-strength Pink Voodoo from mid-lengths up to the crown. This expert melting technique allowed each shade to blend naturally, while still offering subtle contrasts that add dimension and intrigue.
Face-Framing Bangs: Adrian set the tone by sectioning out the bangs into a triangle, applying Pink Voodoo in full concentration. This bold accent color draws attention to the face, serving as a radiant focal point.
Face-Framing Sections: To enhance softness around the face, Adrian angled the sections gently, applying the same rotation of colors. This placement frames the face beautifully, blending the colors in a way that adds depth and complements the overall effect.
ADRIAN’S VISION IN FULL COLOR
The result is a work of art that embodies Adrian Billot’s signature touch—an intricate, dimensional masterpiece with captivating pops of Pink Voodoo and Purple Masquerade. The seamless color transitions and vibrant highlights make this look truly unforgettable, perfect for clients who want to turn heads with their style.
