It can be used alone, as an enhancement to a hair color service or as a highlights refresh between color appointments. The shade palette offers a range of rich, natural color featuring fashion-forward shades for every result from gray blending to vibrant red. It accommodates the colorist’s preference with application by either bowl and brush or bottle.

Do the math*
Color Touch gives color-shy clients their first look at hair color, which can convert them to a hair color client, or it can build the ticket for regular color clients. If you charge $40-$75, your potential gross revenue increase could be:
• $40/Color Touch
• 20 clients/week
• $800/week x 52 weeks = $41,600/year

"Color Touch is a great way to show clients the
benefits of color," says Aura Friedman, Wella
Professionals Color Ambassador. "They will see
incredibly beautiful, multi-dimensional results and
added shine that makes hair appear even healthier
looking and still natural. I recommend adding on
Color Touch even if it's just a clear gloss because it
takes only five minutes and will give that long-lasting
shine for up to six weeks."
