SERAFINO SAYS BLOG - “The Evolution of Ombre Hair Color” - November 2012
Written by Celebrity Colorist Tohmas Elmlund
Loved the ombre hair color over the past few seasons but now beginning to feel all that dark rootiness is getting drab? SerafinoSays asks renowned colorist Tohmas Elmlund to share his perspective on the direction of the ombre.
“I’ve started placing slices of highlights at varying widths and lengths, some all the way up to the root, some slightly off the root, but shattering the dark/light band of prior ombres. After I take the highlights down I use two completely separate color formulas on client – one for the first 2-3 inches of hair and another for the remaining lengths. The first formula is only slightly lighter then clients existing base color, making new highlights appear very much tone on tone at the root but enough of a difference to bring back some oomph at crown and face frame area – key in making skin pop again during these colder months. The second formula is 3-4 shades lighter then first formula; allowing ends to have brightness and drama of original the ombre, but with a softer transition.....

As a hairstylist sometimes your worst client is another hairstylist. Today I was that person! Very much like the fable of the shoemakers kid, it seems as if you are forever standing behind the chair styling hair and never sitting in the chair having your hair styled. Today was my lucky day. My friend and Celebrity Colorist Tohmas Gustaf Elmlund was kind enough to take me on as his client. Tohmas had his hands full….
As a hairstylist I can be slightly rambunctious and have too much fun playing with all the samples of hair products that are sent to me for reviews. What makes me even more excited is when bottles upon bottles of hair color are sent my way. Normally this would not seem like a big deal given I am a hairstylist. But since I specialize in hair cutting and not hair coloring this is not always a good thing….giggle! And I can tell you from trial & error, being a hair colorist is truly a blend of science and art....

Artist/Hair Colorist - Meet Tohmas!
I have had the wonderful fortune of being able to blend both the creative worlds of being a professional haircolourist as well as being a painter. Four days a week, I colour the hair of a diverse clientele in New York City. I create and maintain a range of hair hues on some 30- 4o men and women each week. From deep chocolate and lighter sandy brunettes, to ruby and golden coppered red heads, through many shades of glorious blonde. The creative possibilities in enhancing, creating, and re-creating haircolour shades are endless.......

MODERN SALON Magazine, TECHNICAL WITH BETH MINARDI, 2008
“I want her to sparkle,” said Beth Minardi of her natural Level 6/7 model. “But more importantly, I want her to sparkle throughout. Many colorists will put all the blonde in the front and none in the back. It’s like putting a black slip under
a white dress. I believe highlights should float throughout the hair and echo what nature would do had the client been highlighted by the sun.”
