Renowned award-winning colorist and milk_shake Global Artistic Ambassador Andrew Smith unveils his latest collection “GLOSS UP GLOW UP” featuring milk_shake’s latest innovation in hair care: THE GLOSS — a transformative range designed to add a radiant finish and boost the health and vibrancy of every color service.
“I add a milk_shake GLOSS to virtually every color service that I perform, whether it is on set or in my salons,” says Smith. “It just adds the perfect glow up to every color — even if it’s only clear shine with Neutral.”
Smith, a British Hairdressing Awards Hall of Fame member is known globally for his signature luminous color work, explains that clients are often astonished by the results. “My clients rave about how healthy their hair feels after a gloss — they can’t believe they’ve just had a hair color service,” he adds.
The collection was photographed by Richard Miles, one of the UK’s most celebrated fashion and beauty photographers and the creator of some of the industry’s most iconic images.
