3,273 SHADES ACROSS 21 PROFESSIONAL BRANDS
Everything COLORiq does comes down to four capabilities working together at the chair.
Current color, what's underneath it, porosity, chemical history — even medications and well water. The full picture before any decision.
Every assessment draws from a working library of 3,273 professional shades across 21 color brands — the catalog, not guesswork.
Brand, shade, developer, ratio, processing time. A complete, precise formula — the first time.
Your formula lives with you, not in someone's notebook. Same color, every visit, any stylist.
Three salon-real situations — each resolved the way COLORiq resolves it.
Pull her saved formula from her profile and mix it exactly. Resolved in one tap.
Any colorist pulls the same recipe. Same color, different chair.
The assessment scores what's achievable before you mix — an honest answer, first.
Every COLORiq formulation draws from a working library of 3,273 professional shades across 21 color brands — the catalog your stylist searches, not a shelf they guess from.
Brassy box-dye disasters and uneven salon work get figured out precisely — which pigments neutralize what you've got.
Right the first time means no re-mixing, no re-processing, no "let's give it another ten minutes."
Switch stylists, switch visits — the recipe is pulled from your profile and mixed the same way.
