Maintenance: Use color-safe shampoos and conditioners with a hint of purple to keep brassiness at bay and maintain the creamy warmth... we suggest our favourite mask toning winner Lisap refresh: sand (ask us in-salon)
Cherry Mocha: A Deep, Rich Statement
Cherry Mocha is a luxurious blend of deep brown and red undertones, reminiscent of ripe cherries mixed with dark chocolate. This shade offers a bold yet natural look that adds richness and shine to your hair.
Who it suits: Perfect for medium to dark skin tones, or anyone looking to add a dramatic, warm tone to their hair.
