During the Showcase Events we will introduce Color Atelier, the new Masterbrand Campaign that has been developed to support the salon industry by championing professional color services and by helping grow end consumers’ trust and desire for professional color services.

We will also introduce Topchic Zero, the newest addition to the iconic permanent in-salon color, Topchic, and another breakthrough hair color innovation by Goldwell. The conscious, incredibly caring, and ammonia-free formula allows stylists and consumers to feel good about more than just the color result.

Topchic Zero is CONSCIOUS. PROGRESSIVE. RESPONSIBLE. INSIDE AND OUT.”
