An exciting hair color change can instantly boost your energy, as well as cover grey roots or add subtle dimension.

To help you select the ideal hair color in Montreal, we enlisted help from celebrity haircolorist Matt Rez and hairstylist Clariss Rubenstein – two experts well versed in 2023’s latest trends such as candlelit brunette and rich honey shades.

1. Deep Reddish Brown

If you’re feeling intimidated by red, try this deep gingery brown shade instead. It has the same fiery sexiness of auburn with a slightly toasted chili chocolate vibe; bold but not overbearing for every skintone!

No one disputes that traditional hair dye is full of harsh chemicals, so many are looking for safer alternatives. Researchers have come up with long-lasting yet eco-friendly formulations which deliver amazing color without harming the environment.

Garnier permanent color made with olive oil to hydrate and nourish hair during coloring process. Plus, its formulation is free from ammonia, parabens, resorcinol, PPD and phthalates!

If you’re unsure how dark to go with your hue choice, conduct a strand test. This will allow you to find your ideal shade without damaging your strands and ensure that your hair looks healthy afterwards. Ask your stylist about adding extra shine enhancers for lasting color results.

2. Blue Blonde

Blue on blonde hair works beautifully to keep the look soft and playful, especially for fair-skinned ladies. Finish it off with some peachy blush and an eye-catching cat eye for an ideal Montreal day look!

For optimal blue hair dye results, look for one with minimal-damaging ingredients such as ammonia or alcohol – no bleeding of color and easy correction without muddy or greenish hues. Plus, no damage caused to strands is reduced with this approach!

Hair research teams have made great strides towards developing non-toxic and eco-friendly formulas that produce vibrant, rich hues that last. Oligo permanent line boasts ammonia- and alcohol-free shades with 100 percent gray coverage that are free from ammonia or alcohol — this shade from their line contains nourishing ingredients such as pomegranate seed oil and shea butter for deep penetration into strands for better gray coverage and shiny finishes.

3. Chocolate Brown

Chocolate brown is a versatile paint hue suitable for all painting techniques and skin tones, especially blue eyes, thanks to the red pigment it contains that brings them out even further.

Color Touch 3/0 is also ideal for those with warm skin tones, as its golden undertones pair beautifully with olive and tan complexions, as well as copper hues. To balance red tones with its warm undertones, they can use demi-permanent Color Touch 3/0 hair dye.

If bleaching to achieve this color is part of the plan, make sure your clients use only high-quality, low-ammonia color lines such as Wella Professionals’ Blondor Pro Permanent Color with WellaPlex opens in a new tab which offers ammonia- and alcohol-free lighteners that strengthen bonds while protecting strands against breakage during lightening processes for maximum long-term vibrant results that last up to nine weeks and provide 100% gray coverage.

4. Honey Blonde

Honey blonde hues can look stunning against all skin tones from light to deep, particularly those with golden or copper eyes. If they already wear blonde, but want an enhanced glow, ask their colorist to incorporate some golden and copper tones or deepen their current shade for maximum impact.

Honey blonde is the ideal hue for those seeking a light and luxurious golden tone without needing constant upkeep, thanks to L’Oreal Paris Superior Preference Fade-Defying Shine permanent hair dye. Simply go allover your locks for this classic style for maximum impact without incurring maintenance costs!

Make sure that your client uses color-safe shampoo and conditioner, like Radico’s Color Me Organic (with its blend of ayurvedic herbs, organic shea butter and pomegranate), in order to seal in their healthy oils and add natural glossiness and natural sheen to their blonde and highlighted strands. This mask works wonders at neutralizing brassy tones while giving blondes and highlights an impressive glossy sheen that enhances natural shine.
