Launch a colour collection, but make it brat… Inspired by a quad of today‘s mosticonic and influential pop artists, Schwarzkopf Professional fuse commercial shades and colour worlds with cool service inspiration. Meet the Pop Icons.

It’s a perpetual conundrum – colour is the key driver when it comes to salon profit and driving client loyalty, but to ensure the long-term future of your business, you’ve got to entice younger clients wary of colour to take the plunge.

Think about the names that inspire them, and you’ll establish a list of the most iconic and influential pop stars – each one with their own aesthetic, their own attitude and their own rabid social media following. Now, consider some of the biggest cultural moments of

the summer – THAT album cover, THAT low-key Hackney wedding, THAT XXL-hair-as-star-of-the-music-video – and you can see where there are opportunities to engage those younger clients with colour moods crafted with those pop icons at the beating heart. It’s whatfuels the Pop Icons collection from Schwarzkopf Professional, designed to empower both hair stylist and client, bringing together commercial shades, on-the-pulse techniques with achingly cool styling to finish.

Armed with an industry leading portfolio including IGORA, BLONDME, Fibre Clinix and OSiS and supported by an education programme that interprets the iconic looks in a commercially

relevant way, Pop Icons is an inspirational mix of creativity and expert simplicity, the very embodiment of the Schwarzkopf Professional ethos – FOR EVERY YOU.
