MARIT
An iconic look, the style and the concepts of URBANA encapsulated in a RE-NATURAL technique evoking asymmetry.
Simple, yet impactful: the challenge is to make it wearable and accessible, highlighting its elegance through consistent and harmonious colour shades, lightening levels, blending patterns.
An apparently edgy look like this also echoes the same concepts we share in our education trainings: the right know-how and a certain sense of style as a goal make it possible to achieve extraordinary effects!
This soft and contemporary medium bob haircut reveals a perfect synergy among all the milk_shake® colour ranges.
NOLA
Copper and pink blend sinuously in this colour block technique, perfectly embracing the RE-NATURAL philosophy.
A vibrant, shiny, deep rich colour achieved using the copper shades of milk_shake® beyond light, our ammonia-free permanent colouring range. Delicate contrasts in line with the ‘right edgy’ concept that characterises URBANA, natural and accessible looks: each look features a special twist, a detail making it unique and original.
How many women dream of a makeover without necessarily compromising on the charm of long hair? Nola features a technique that gives movement and volume to the hair without too much visible layering: a haircut to enjoy and wear anywhere!
PIEN
An underlying theme in URBANA’s world of colour, the ‘right edgy’, is interpreted through a new method of colour blocking in the hair.
This technique is back in trend these days and has been reinterpreted and made more accessible through the fresh and light taste of milk_shake®.
For Pien, we have experimented with formulas inspired by this season’s Beauty Insight colour palette, smokey lavender and soft pink: pastel colours that maintain a vivid and bright identity.
Everything is placed asymmetrically, yet stylishly.
A lob haircut with fringe is the perfect canvas on which to perform this technique!
CHARLOTTE
A trendy look to enhance curly and wavy hair!
Our milk_shake® approach to curly haircut provides volume and airiness, whilst customising the shape to create expansion and slender the neck.
The colour adds light to the inner areas near the hairline, close to the face, and gently lifts the hair. The goal of the toning service is to recreate a brown tone-on-tone effect, to allow for contrasts that are not too noticeable.
The milk_shake® curl passion product range celebrates Charlotte’s curls through styling.
SARAH
Sarah features a haircut that can be described as somewhere between a bowl cut, a pixie and a bob.
A tailor-made length to suit multiple textures.
The haircut combines both blunt cut and razor techniques, resulting in an underground yet sophisticated effect, perfectly matching the URBANA style.
Colour and shape blend in harmony through delicate contrasts between lavender and lilac shades, positioned in diffuse blocks through the movement of the haircut.
The texture is messy, yet elegant and structured.
MARGARITA
Freedom and wind in the hair: two of the fundamental concepts guiding us in the design of URBANA’s looks, here embodied in an extreme curl obtained with a customised approach.
The shape, built up little by little using a tailoring method, is achieved through a cut shaping the hair and carefully adapting to the features of Margarita’s face - a fundamental principle when dealing with curly hair.
The colour is applied in small blocks and spreads naturally, in synergy with curly hair texture: lightened areas, achieved with a gentle method, create rays of natural light.
Free texture, defined and radiant curly hair!
MARINA
A haircut with a ‘70s twist, perfectly embodying its vibe! Positivity, energy and freshness are the key words associated to this look, which features a strong customisation and workability.
Thinning scissors, razor and blunt cut techniques in combination enhance texture and allow playing with the hair to achieve the desired effects.
The shape matches the colour, which is positioned in asymmetrical blocks but still wearable and soft: milk_shake® beyond light, our ammonia-free permanent colouring range provides chromatic results recalling natural colours to all intents and purposes. Styling means playing with shape: for example, a voluminous, messy look is ideal for Marina!
JERRY
A British-inspired bob haircut that is a timeless favourite. The matching colour choice makes this ‘right edgy’ soft and wearable: the fringe opens up, widening towards the sideburn to emphasise facial features. In the nape area, the hairline can be daringly concealed to make the neck look slimmer, or it can be left soft and supple. Just one watchword: customisation!
The colour combines cold and warm shades, matching a wisteria shade with a creamy saffron blonde, creating bright and delicate hues.
Either traditionally smooth or slightly wavy, it will look perfect every time!
NINA
Not just cold blondes: an increasingly popular trend points to neutral blond shades, not cold nor warm. Nina features a technique that places light and shadow in a unique way, ideal for those who want an alternative effect to classic lightening while maintaining a natural and stylish result.
The result is a highly sought-after buttery blond, in contrast to a caffelatte colour: a great way to regenerate long-term lifted hair and lived-in or oxidised blond hair.
The light and airy shape creates a windswept effect, further emphasised by an unusual tool for long haircuts.
