KC Color Luxima brochure (English)

Let the real you shine through

Luxima is a modern color line for versatile, natural results Luxima’s formula is based on tone pigments, which lets the subtle depth level differences in the client’s base remain visible. This produces results that are always unique, exceptionally lively and multidimensional. Luxima allows you to easily create exactly the kinds of results that today’s clients ask for.

MODERN, NATURAL RESULTS The Luxima result will never look painted-on, but shines with a natural, translucent quality while letting the natural depth level differences create a multidimensional impression.

THE FAMOUS SHINE Luxima is known for its exceptionally long-lasting shine that reflects light beautifully, thanks to the Shine Enhance Complex we have developed just for Luxima. The vitamins and botanical oils powerfully intensify the color pigments’ ability to reflect light, resulting in sparkling shine.

VERSATILE COLORING The comprehensive and continuously developing shade selection includes the Base shades, which add coverage and the ability to even out differences in depth levels in the hair. It is very easy to darken or brighten the root growth and to cover grey hair with Luxima by using a Base shade.

Four reas ons for Luxima’s popularity

The depth level and the tone fade simultaneously from the hair Luxima is low-alkaline and contains only tonal pigments and no darkening pigments, with the exception of Base shades. This means that creating a new look on each salon visit is easy, as the color “pastellizes� beautifully in the hair over time.

It is very difficult to fail with Luxima The muted tones of the shade selection create colors that are reliable and predictable. It is easy to plan for the desired result by using different elements of the color line, like the Mixers or the Base shades, according to the situation.

Coloring with Luxima is cost-effective during the same, short processing time you get the root growth color, toning for the lengths and ends as well as grey coverage.

Because of the gel-based consistency, you also need less product compared to a cream-based color to make the pigments absorb in the hair, so a tube of color lasts longer.
