Look at that shine! This kinda shine could have only come from America's #1 Demi-Permanent Color Line, #RedkenShadesEQ! This amazing color line is so conditioning it thinks it's a conditioner! If you're looking for softer, shinier, and richer color then a Shades Glossing service is perfect for you! Be sure to ask your Student Service Provider for a gloss the next time you're in their chair!
