Vidal Sassoon Salonist - for salon quality hair colour at home!

Vidal Sassoon Salonist Hair Colour - $14.99 - in 24 shades:  1/0 Neutral Black, 3/66 Darkest Intense Violet, 4/46 Dark Red Violet, 5/3 Medium Gold Brown, 3/0 Darkest Neutral Brown, 4/0 Dark Neutral Brown, 5/0 Medium Neutral Brown, 5/1 Medium Cool Brown, 6/0 Light Neutral Brown, 6/1 Light Cool Brown, 6/3 Light Gold Brown, 8/0 Medium Neutral Blonde, 7/0 Dark Neutral Blonde, 8/1 Medium Cool Blonde, 8/3 Medium Gold Blonde, 9.5/0 Very Light Neutral Blonde, 9/0 Light Neutral Blonde, 10/0 Lightest Neutral Blonde, 10/1 Lightest Cool Blonde, 5/45 Medium Intense Red, 4/4 Dark Auburn, 5/5 Medium Reddish Brown, 6/4 Light Auburn, 7/43 Intense Copper Red - a permanent at-home colour that allows you to colour like a colourist, and achieve hair that’s full of depth and tones.

With an innovative 2-step technique system that treats roots and lengths of the hair separately - because new hair growth and previously coloured hair absorb colour differently - to ensure that both parts of the hair get the optimum colour saturation needed - with 100% gray coverage and up to 8 weeks of colour.

It was a little more work then my usual colour - rather then a bottle that you mix the colour and developer in there is a brush and a bowl - the upside to this method is that it's much easier to make sure everything gets mixed together properly - the downside is that you get the full effect of chemical stink without a covered container to protect you! Once it's mixed you are meant to use 3/4 of the solution on your roots and then mix the provided serum with the remaining solution and use that for the lengths - thankfully the serum takes away the chemical smell and makes the whole process much more pleasant! Applying with a brush took a little bit of getting used to but the solution is nice and thick so it was quite easy to get the colour on my head without any spilling or splattering. 30 minutes later I washed it out to hair that is a glorious shade of auburn - I don't know that the 2 separate steps made my colour a lot different from how it usually looks but this shade is  great so no complaints from me! 

Available now at drug, mass and grocery retailers across Canada.

Keep colour from fading with the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series ColorFinity Collection!

The Vidal Sassoon Pro Series ColorFinity Collection provides a full regimen of advanced technology hair care and styling products that help lock in long-lasting vibrant colour, prevent shade shifting, and maintain the precision of vibrant, dimensional hair color - to help keep hair looking bold for more than 40 washes!

Available in the collection:

ColorFinity Shampoo - 750ml - $6.99 - the formula includes antioxidants that combat free radicals found in water (copper) in order to help eliminate chemical reactions on the hair’s surface that speed up the colour processing and result in less vibrant initial colour. By reducing free radicals, colour processing can take place inside the hair cortex rather than at the surface, providing optimal pigment uptake for long-lasting, vibrant hair colour.

ColorFinity Conditioner - 750ml - $6.99 - contains moisturizing agents that help prevent water fading by sealing in moisture without weighing hair down.

ColorFinity Smoothing Cleansing Conditioner - 500ml - $6.99 - offers one step cleansing and conditioning with a low-lather formula that contains gentle cleansers that leave coloured-hair looking and feeling clean, while smoothing out the hair cuticle. The cleanser contains a moisture-rich formula that helps protect hair and colour intensity.

ColorFinity Dry Shampoo - 140g - $5.99 - in Rich Darks and Intense Blondes - contains a tailored to the shade amount of tapioca starch, an absorbent ingredient that effectively refreshes hair without leaving excess white, visible residue.

ColorFinity 2 Minute Shade Precision Treatment - 58ml - $6.99 - contains durable silicones, a hydrating ingredient that helps protect hair from colour fading. The silicones mimic the layer of hair lost during the colouring process, and thereby help restore hair’s waterproofing properties.

ColorFinity Finishing Hairspray - 397g - $6.99 - provides the long-lasting hold and volume for up to 24 hours without weighing hair down. Its extra strong hold formula is resistant to humidity and helps prevent flyaways for fashionable control all day long.

Available now at drug and mass retailers across Canada.

Vidal Sassoon celebrates 50 years of the iconic bob with a faux bob and a contest!

Vidal Sassoon Pro Series is celebrating a milestone event - the 50th anniversary of Sassoon's iconic bob hairstyle, first created in 1963. Vidal Sassoon's iconic bob and five-point cut set new standards in hairdressing, igniting a movement in women worldwide to emulate the iconic look.

I have a bob myself but I know not everyone is looking to chop their hair off so in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Vidal Sassoon's iconic bob haircut, actress Jaime King from TV's hit show "Hart of Dixie" debuted a new Sassoon-inspired hairstyle. Celebrity hairstylist Ben Skervin created a faux bob on the actress, styled using the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series collection.

Ben applied Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Boost & Lift Foaming Air Mousse to damp hair to give Jaime touchable volume, texture and dimension. 

Then Ben spritzed her hair with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Heat Protect and Shine Spray to protect hair from hot styling tools. 

She then flipped her head upside down and Ben rough blow dried hair until it was 90% dry. Using a multi-bristle brush, he then blow dried her hair until it was completely dry. 

Then using a 1.5" barrel curling iron, he created spiral curls throughout Jaime’s hair.   

Ben slightly back-combed the bottom layers of the hair for added volume. 

After that, Ben was ready to create the bob. He gathered hair into a loose, low ponytail and tucked the tail part under, securing with bobby pins 

Lastly, he sealed Jaime’s look in place with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Flexible Hold Hairspray.

To further celebrate the anniversary and the genius of the bob’s design, Vidal Sassoon Pro Series has launched the “Show Your Genius” Facebook contest inviting fans to share a “selfie” of their best hairstyle for a chance to win $1,000, a vintage accessory and a year’s supply of Vidal Sassoon Pro Series products to complete the perfect head-to-toe look. To participate, simply upload a “selfie” to the Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Facebook page for a chance to win. Fans will submit their best hairstyle from now until June 18, 2013, and then have the opportunity to vote on the top looks.
