Such tools often include numerical and/or alphabetical codes corresponding to each shade, streamlining communication and ensuring accuracy when mixing and applying the product.
This organized visualization of the Shades EQ palette benefits both colorists and clients. It enables predictable color results by providing a clear understanding of how each gloss will appear on the hair. This predictability minimizes the risk of unexpected outcomes and empowers colorists to create customized shades tailored to individual needs and preferences. Historically, achieving such precise color formulation required extensive experience and experimentation. A structured system simplifies the process, making advanced color techniques more accessible and consistent.
