World renowned hair colorist, Dan Johnson creates “Orbit Lights” hair color using Pravana’s magenta, pastel pink, and pastel coral at Tricoci University’s Chicago NW campus.
“Whenever you’re coloring hair, don’t make it hard on yourself. You always want to work from the bottom to the top” says Dan. “With the pastel colors, if you want a pink you have to lift it up into a yellow. If you lift it to a white you’ll get a neon pink. To become a good hairdresser you HAVE to know the levels of lift and tone. There’s a lot to know about coloring hair, and once you know that you can go anywhere in the world.”
