#1: Rich Blackberry Purple Hair
This is a blackberry color balayage with a dark color at the roots and bright purple hair tones from mid-lengths to ends. It has a brown base with Jack Winn Pro Color melted into a custom mix of Pulp Riot deep purple tones over pre-lightened hair. This purple-black hair features long layers for the haircut. With this type of color, your hair will also need to be lightened to achieve the brightness of the purple, so they typically take around 4-5 hours for the first service.

A sharp medium-length haircut with a midnight purple hair color is rich and edgy! The midnight purple color looks best on dark hair and blends seamlessly with bright purple. Finish this trendy look with a shine spray for an extra pop!

Smoky hues are incredible, especially when they have a good vibrance. The purple dye on hair that is dark silver is the perfect example of style that is moody yet bright.
