KEVIN.MURPHY Strengthens New England Presence Through New Partnership with Sullivan Beauty
Bringing global haircare authority closer to the chair, the partnership marks a renewed investment in New England's salons and stylists.
The launch challenges your creativity with 15 temporary shades, all mixable.




The backbar launch of Colour Refresh has just been announced by Maria Nila. A nourishing, vegan hair treatment with added color pigments, Colour Refresh delivers temporary pigments that refresh the client's hair color in just 4-10 minutes and fade in 7-10 washes.
With Colour Refresh, you can customize the shade for every client. A total of 15 neutral, red, and fashion shades make up the Colour Refresh line, and all can be mixed together. By adding white mix, you can intensify the shine and make the color more transparent.
The new backbar availability can expand your menu. Ideas from Maria Nila include:
Add Colour Refresh to a hair cut
Offer a Colour Refresh + Blow Dry
List it among your special occasion options
Use it to prepare hair for a color service
Use Colour Refresh for a glossing service
Apply Colour Refresh for color correction
Approach clients by asking questions during the consultation:
Not ready to go dark?
Would you like to try a toner as easy as conditioning your hair?
Want to try a new shade without commitment?
Colour Refresh is cruelty-, paraben- and sulphate-free, climate-compensated, and packaged to minimize use of resources.
