Schalan Gives Us Her Expert Color Tips

Personal Touch Salon Owner, Schalan is giving us the rundown on how she does the perfect hair color service for her clients. First, to color her client's "wisdom highlights" Schalan will utilize the Color Chocolate Series, as well as, the new Syncro Soft Lightener and Crema XG. The Syncro Soft contains shea and can lift hair color up seven levels! Schalan loves this product because it feels super creamy and leaves your hair feeling incredibly conditioned. She starts mixing her color in small equal ratios, 1 oz. SS and 1 oz. 20 Cream XG. The two products mix together in a luxurious frosting-style consistency. Next, for her client's base color, she uses the Color Chocolate Series, and mixes equal parts 8CH (.5 oz) and 7N (.5 oz) and then she adds 20 Cream. Schalan says you can mix this with cream or clear, but for grey coverage she likes to Cream to condition a little more. She applies color and lightener and then lets it set in.

After shampooing, Schalan applies a little more Crema XG (two parts 10PA and one part 8PA) to help neutralize any yellow or oranges hues to a much cooler tone. Schalan also lets us know she really is loving the Crema XG, while it is ammonia free, it's still tone to tone to the Color XG. She tells us that she mixes equal parts again for toning. When Schalan tones, she outlines and defines first, it helps her speed up the process.

After touchups, we see the client's perfect color! Schalan also shows us the shampoo/conditioning products she used which are from Paul Mitchell's newest line called Clean Beauty. Schalan chose these products because they make your hair so soft and silky! She also raves about the anti-frizz product from the Clean Beauty line because it keeps hair bouncy and light.

Thank you, Schalan for your expert coloring tips. We love walking through this entire process with you!

Gabbey Takes Us Through Her Hair Washing Day and Tests Celeb Luxury Viral Extreme Purple Color Wash

Gabbey is taking us through her hair washing process. She explains that she doesn't wash her hair often in order to prevent over-drying. Gabbey mentions that she will wash her about once a week to preserve moisture. In this video, she starts by clarifying her hair using Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree Oil Shampoo, she also says this product is great for moisturizing and protecting her scalp, particularly in cold weather.

Next up, are new products that Gabbey is excited to try, Celeb Luxury Viral Extreme Purple Color Wash, in both shampoo and conditioner. They are color tinted and she will only be using the product on the purple section of her hair. Gabbey shows us the under layer of her hair where the purple has faded the most. This way we can see how well the Viral color wash impacted her hair color.

Prior to washing, Gabbey pins back the pink sections of her hair where she doesn't want to add the purple wash. Then the washing process begins. We see lots of pigment and sparkles in the Viral color wash.

After washing, we see Gabbey's results. She's added some Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam for natural control to her freshly washed locks. Gabbey raves about soft her hair feels and how lovely it smells after using the Viral Wash. Bonus, she says her tub is not stained after using the colored wash compared to other coloring products. Final verdict -- Gabbey gives the Viral wash a 10 out 10! She highly recommends these products.

Personal Touch Salon is selling Celeb Luxury Viral Extreme Purple Color Wash, in both shampoo and conditioner. You can pick up in the salon or order from the website with curbside pick up availability.
