Inside Out

Lived-in, root stretch and ombre have become their own hair color genre. Misael Aponte’s Inside Out technique will create all of these looks with as few as 8 foils. Best of all, it will take you less than 45 minutes to apply without any teasing, feathering or backcombing required. Inside Out also helps you avoid a hot band of poor lifting due to thinning of the lightener at light to dark intersections.

Add this modality to your already successful ombre world for faster, less toning and longer root stretches to hide and cover warm areas and gone is the need to detangle wet, teased hair.

Carousel

Dimension, contrast and definition: These are the words that salon guests say when they don’t see stripes. Instead, they see ribbons of fabulous color that are even and flow from scalp to ends. Whether using a few strategic locations or the Carousel pattern in its full glory, Misael Aponte’s Carousel class will help you get comfortable with the power of vertical color delivery and avoid any unwanted results with bold beauty.

Linear Horseshoes

Horizontal geometric lines of differing thicknesses create bold yet simultaneously blended visual results. Misael Aponte’s Linear Horseshoes class will show you how to achieve looks with lots of color activity using significantly less foils by embracing a lot more skipped areas (negative space). Work smarter, not harder and start off all your new salon guests with this color placement pattern to prevent over-saturation and train your guest’s eyes to never want a million foils ever again.
