Overview

Technical Skills

Skill Level

Charmaine Piche’s salon creative colour tutorial introduces the idea of pure veils of colour to enhance the perfect balance of round and square shapes by framing the dramatic fringe area with a veil of dark tone in a V-shaped section. Charmaine then places a further fine bleach panel, with simple back-to-back slices. These are worked with a hint of deep blue tone which doesn’t overpower the fringe section. Finally, the secret detail of short areas and base colour are worked with a warm dark tone, to produce a final result with an enriching fusion of warm tones with a powder blue to perfectly complement the underlining colours and the models skin tones.
