Redken’s new additions to the Acidic Bonding Concentrate (ABC) family have quickly become a favourite at Oscar&Co, thanks to the results we have seen with just one use of these new ranges.

Final Thoughts

Each Redken ABC range is formulated with the same bond-building technology at its core but tailored to different needs—whether that’s repairing damage, preserving colour, or enhancing curls. Choosing the right one depends on your hair’s unique story, and your stylist can guide you to the perfect match.

Fashion Colours

Fashion colours include pastel and vivid (or bright) colours which are usually applied over very blonde, or pre-lightened hair. Fashion colours could be an all-over single colour, or multiple colours through the hair in sections, or blended depending on your inspiration.

We use Evo Staino direct dyes when creating fashion colours. 

Fashion colour services cannot be booked online as they require a complimentary consultation prior to the appointment. During the consultation, your Colourist will be able to book your service for the required amount of time and be able to quote accurately.
