From “Jon Carlos, Cosmo Prof Professional”
- What are some of the most common client requests as we head into fall?
- When September hits, the red hues and autumnal shades come to life! I commonly see clients asking for copper, burgundy, and scarlet – you name it.
- Which red shades are predicted to be the most popular in-chair requests in 2023?
- Copper, burgundy, bold red, auburn, strawberry, and scarlet are all in the mix and set to trend this season. The most important thing to remember is to ask your stylist to match your red shade to your skin tone, and remember that inspiration pics are only a source of inspiration – your stylist can help you best customize the look and shade so it best suits you.
- We know red and darker copper/autumn shades are popular right now. Why do you think this is, and what are some tips for people wanting to go red? How does someone determine the best shade for their look?
- Trust your stylist. Also, be open to changing your brow color to match your hair shade. Pro tip: Your eyebrows should always be darker than your hair. Overall, when it comes to which shade I recommend for a particular client, it all depends on skin tone, eye color, and freckles/ beauty marks. Each of these facial features sets the tone for whether someone should go bold red, copper, or burgundy etc.
- Are bangs still in?
- Bangs are classic; no matter what, they will always come back and forth. I steer my girls with textured hair in the summer away from bangs when it’s hot out and recommend they wait for cooler weather to bring bangs back. Bangs are perfect for fall and winter
Off the heels of Cosmo Prof’s Iconic Blonde event, the Cosmo Prof team continues to grow and expand on their educational offerings, and we are thrilled to see the stylist community engagement year over year.
