Inspired by the vivid colors and languid ease of the French Riviera, this custom-created color formulation from the CHIC Collection by CHI is perfect for Avant Garde clients.
This watercolor-inspired look manages to look both edgy and ethereal, using a mix of warm and cool colors plucked straight from Riviera beaches, cool clear waters, and terracotta roofs overlooking pristine beaches. These beautiful colors are then hand painted onto an expertly-styled undercut pixie and styled into a head-turning upsweep that is part punk, part fairycore, and 100% high fashion.
