Rosé all day isn't just for Sundays. Toni Trauer (@hairdesignbytoni) created this dreamy rose color melt with a streak of platinum and its the perfect mix of soft and bold. Scroll through for pricing, formulas, and application deets.

Total chair time: 3.5 hours

Price: $350

Who is the ideal candidate for this look?

"The ideal client for this look is your everyday gal who loves lived-in color but wants a funky, sassy twist. This specific client is a CEO and mother of two who wants to turn up the funk in a low-maintenance way," says Toni. Because this look requires the hair to be lifted to a Level 9, clients with previous color or darker starting levels might not be ideal for this look. 

 

What maintenance is required for this look?

At home, Toni recommends using a color-conserving shampoo and conditioner for longevity and vibrancy. In the salon, a money piece refresh and partial babylight touch-up along with a new color melt will be needed every eight weeks.
