As clients shift into richer tones for fall, glossing services become the ultimate low-commitment refresh. The Cherry Lacquer trend perfectly captures the seasonal energy of fall. Think: vampy shine, soft dimension, cool edge — without the bleach. For stylists, it’s the perfect way to reintroduce pigment and add depth to faded brunettes or sun-lightened ends.

The Look

Inspired by the Cherry Lacquer trend, a multidimensional red that looks glossy and luxe under any light, this tone-on-tone transformation delivers high impact without lift. The secret? A 50/50 blend of Rose Mocha and All In This Together, layered to create a deep, berry-cherry tone with smoky undertones and high shine.

Formula Breakdown

Mix: 1 part Rose Mocha + 1 part All In This Together (50/50 blend)

Application: Apply from roots through ends on clean, towel-dried hair for even saturation.

Process: Leave on for 30 minutes.

Rinse: At the shampoo bowl, use GDY Wash and Rinse with cool water to seal tone and enhance gloss.

Why It Works

✨ No Bleach Needed: Perfect for clients who want a bold shift without commitment or lightener.
💧 Lacquer-Like Finish: The conditioning formula smooths and seals the cuticle, giving hair a glassy finish that feels as soft as it looks.
