THIS AIN'T YOUR MAMA'S HAIRCOLOR
At Bb. we know that hair color can change the shape and the feeling of the hair as much (or more than) the cut. During Bb.On Tour, we gave our colorists the spotlight and gave them free range – the results were astounding…

"When you color in the salon you have to be concerned with what the client wants, and on a shoot, what the photographer says, and for a show, what the designer dictates, but during On Tour we came up with the ideas, we were in control and it's such a rare opportunity - it's super liberating. It felt great to have color in the spotlight this time - we weren't just coloring other people's haircuts, we got to really show what color can be. So of course we went a bit crazy - we did creamsicle pinks and oranges, strong reds, rainbow colors. It just felt fabulous and the models loved it, but sometimes we did really natural looks, too, if it suited the girl - that's the thing with hair painting, it can be bold and crazy, but it can be subtle, too.

Color is about mixing and layering tones, and placement, and working with a client's face and skin tone and personality. It's really a form of self-expression, but just as with a haircut, it has to suit the model or client. And it needs to complement what the cutter has planned. I think the most important thing was that we were trusted to do what we do best - it was such a powerful feeling because the more we were free to do what we thought was right, the more in control we were, the more confidence we had in our choices, and I think in the end we really pushed ourselves because of it." - Victoria Hunter, Bb.Color Director
