Wella Service & Tools

What do you need for professional colouring and chemical treatments?

A professional colour service usually consists of several parts that work together: a colour, a developer and, where needed, an aftercare product. The developer determines how much lift and deposit the colour gives, so its strength has to match the result you want. Demi-permanent colours blend in grey and refresh tone without lifting the natural base much. Permanent colours change the hair more and are used for full coverage or lightening. Perms and straightening treatments work in two steps: a lotion or cream softens the structure, then a neutralizer fixes the new shape. Which product suits depends on the condition of the hair, so always check whether it is natural, coloured or sensitized. Do a strand test or skin test when the instructions call for one.

Permanent and demi-permanent hair colour

Illumina Color and Koleston Perfect ME+ Deep Browns are permanent colours for lasting results and grey coverage. Deep Browns is made for rich brown shades, so it is a practical choice if brown tones are a large part of your client base. Color Touch Plus is a demi-permanent option for refreshing tone and blending in grey without strong lift. Color Perfecton is a further colour line in the range. Always mix colour and developer in the ratio given in the instructions. Permanent colour does not lighten and deposit in unlimited amounts, so for large changes plan the service in steps.

Choosing a developer

Welloxon Perfect 4% Cream Developer is a lower-strength developer that suits tone-on-tone work and gentler colour services. Higher strengths give more lift but also put more strain on the hair. Pick the strength based on the shade difference you want.

Toners, lightening and colour care tools

Climazon Black is a ventilation-free heat tool for colour processing, while Color Renew Activator Liquid and Color Renew Crystal Powder are used for colour correction and removal. True Grey is meant for working with natural grey tones. Color Fresh Mask is a colour-depositing mask for freshening up shade between salon visits. These products help with specific tasks and do not replace a proper colour service. Follow the mixing and timing instructions closely, since correction products can dry out the hair.

Perms and straightening

Wella Perm Lotion comes in versions for natural, coloured and sensitized hair, so you can match the lotion to the hair condition. Straightening creams for sensitized hair and for coloured hair follow the same logic. Each system needs its own neutralizer, such as Wella Perform Perm Neutralizer or Wella Perform Straightening Cream Neutralizer. Skipping or shortening the neutralizing step leaves the result unstable and can damage the hair. These are chemical treatments, so they are not suited to hair that is severely damaged or recently treated with strong lightener.

Scalp care and aftercare

Invigo Scalp Balance Anti-dandruff Shampoo is meant for a flaky scalp with dandruff. It cleanses and cares for the scalp but is not a medical treatment for skin conditions. Invigo Sun After-Sun Shampoo is for hair that has been exposed to sun, salt water or chlorine. For coloured hair, Wella Ultimate Color Shampoo, Ultimate Color Conditioner and Ultimate Color Shine Spray form a care routine that keeps the colour and adds shine.

Brushes, kits and special mixes

Shinefinity Hair Color Brush helps with neat, even colour application. Color Touch Kit bundles what you need for a Color Touch service, and Color Touch Special Mix lets you shift or intensify a tone within that line. Using the right brush and bowl makes a visible difference to evenness and mixing accuracy, especially on longer hair.
