The Secret to Perfect Placement

Unlocking the Key to Flawless Color Placement

As a professional colorist, you already know the power of color. But do you know what separates good colorists from great colorists? It’s all in the placement. Perfect placement is the secret ingredient to creating hair color that pops, blends, and flows effortlessly. The right placement not only enhances the natural beauty of your clients’ hair, but it also makes your work look intentional and tailored to each guest.

Imagine this: your client walks in with a head full of flat, dull color. They leave with vibrant, dimensional hair that moves like it was born to do so. That’s what mastering placement can do for you.

Why Placement Matters

Hair has natural patterns and movements, and how you apply color should respect and elevate these unique characteristics. Strategic placement means knowing where to add highlights, lowlights, or depth to make your client’s hair look more dimensional and full of life.

For example, a well-placed highlight can brighten up the face and create a youthful glow, while strategic lowlights can add depth and dimension, making hair appear thicker and fuller. By placing color in a way that follows the natural contours and movement of the hair, you can create a look that grows out beautifully and lasts longer.
