The Calico Haircolor finish, inspired by the classic tri-tone coat of a Calico Cat, has a beautiful interpretation in this blend.
Satin Hair Color, a full range of hair color solutions, teamed up with vivid color specialist and educator Christiana Sayyah of Glitter & Geeks Salon to put a fresh twist on the trend. Sayyah’s creation, called “Blue Calico,” reimagines the signature color-blocked layout with a cool-toned palette of smoky brunettes, icy blondes and vibrant sapphire tones. The placement is bold, the tones are clean and the result is a look that feels both high-impact and elevated
Satin Hair Color features 70 permanent shades and a full range of Satin Hair Color Volume Developers, making it easy to create everything from soft, classic blends to bold, creative statements. Each formula is infused with nourishing ingredients like soy protein and aloe vera to protect and strengthen the hair during processing. With micro-pigment technology for long-lasting vibrancy and a low-ammonia formula that’s gentler on the hair, Satin Hair Color delivers reliable color without compromising hair health.
Christiana Sayyah relies on Satin Hair Color to bring “Blue Calico” to life. Below, she shares her formula for recreating this dimensional, cool-toned take on the trend:
Get the Look:
Rainbow hair
- Starting at the nape, apply a large section of Satin Hair Color’s 5BL shade mixed 1:2 with Satin Hair Color’s 10 Volume Developer to pre-lightened level 9/10 hair, working from root to mid-length.
- Leave a section of blonde around the mid-lengths to create separation, then apply Satin Hair Color’s 6GC Shade mixed 1:2 with Satin Hair Color’s 20 Volume Developer from mids to ends. The blonde gap acts as a visual break, giving the look its signature bold-but-blended feel.
- On any previously colored orange sections, apply shade 6GC to achieve a warm copper-brown tone. The orange base boosts the richness of the copper, adding depth.
- Finish by applying a mix of Satin Hair Color shades 5BL and 6CG to the ends of the pre-lightened hair.
“Blue Calico” is all about bold contrast with a creative twist. With Satin Hair Color, colorists have the tools to take this trend to the next level.”
