By: Jaclyn Harwood
Unlock the secrets to head-turning shine that keeps your guests coming back for more. Whether you're refreshing a color service or reviving lackluster strands, shine is the ultimate finishing touch that elevates every look. From professional in-salon treatments to custom color glosses and expert haircare tips, we’re breaking down everything you need to transform dull, dry hair into radiant, light-reflecting brilliance. Get ready to turn up the gloss and give your clients the luminous finish they’ve been dreaming of.
ADD A SHINEFINITY GLAZE TO YOUR SERVICE
Revive and restore hair with a custom color service, specifically formulated for every salon guest. Wella Professionals Shinefinity Zero Lift Glaze is a demi-permanent color that delivers shine you can feel. This clean, vegan formula features balanced pH technology and a no-drip, gel-cream consistency. With zero lift, zero silicones, zero damage, zero alcohol, zero ammonia, zero direct dyes, and zero parabens, it’s everything you want—and nothing you don’t. Enhance your service menu, boost revenue, and leave every guest with silky, shiny hair.
Looking for a shade without color pigment? Yes, you read that right—a clear glaze that delivers an incredible boost of shine. Wella Professionals Shinefinity Crystal Glaze 00/00 is suitable for every hair type, from fine and fragile to coarse and dry. And can we talk about that shine? It’s anything but ordinary. Thanks to its unique formulation, Shinefinity delivers a healthy-looking, never-artificial result—conditioning the hair while it works its magic.
#PROTIP: Step the shine up a notch with a dash of gold in your formula. A few of our favorite Shinefinity shades are: 09/3 Very Light Blonde Gold (Golden Honey), 08/38 Light Blonde Gold Pearl (Honey Latte), 09/73 Very Light Blonde Brown Gold (Caramel Milk) and 05/37 Light Brown Gold Brown (Caramel Espresso).

RECOMMEND A "MRS. BOND TREATMENT"
The Sebastian Professional Mrs. Bond care service is ideal for dry, damaged hair in need of strength and repair. Formulated with apple acid and styling polymers, the Mrs. Bond by No.Breaker Treatment provides up to four weeks of smooth, conditioning care and added shine.
HOW TO APPLY:
1. Cleanse hair with Sebastian Professional Drench Shampoo—a color-safe, moisturizing formula that intensely nourishes and rehydrates dry, frizzy, and chemically treated hair. The result? Silky body and shine.
2. Apply Sebastian Professional No.Breaker to towel dried hair.
3. Layer with Sebastian Dark Oil Lightweight Mask, infused with a special blend of oils—including jojoba and argan—for added shine. It nourishes the hair while maintaining its natural body, leaving it looking shiny with a silky-smooth feel.
4. Cover hair with a processing cap and place under a controlled heat source for 10 minutes.
5. Allow hair to cool. Rinse. Style.
RESCUE BY PENETRAITT TREATMENT
Incorporate a Rescue by Penetraitt Treatment into any salon service and step up your salon game. Sebastian Professional Rescue Treatment is a deep-conditioning mask recommended for dry, damaged, and over-processed hair. Its active rescue system penetrates the hair and protects against stress caused by chemical and heat damage.
HOW TO APPLY:
1. Cleanse with Sebastian Penetraitt Shampoo and rinse.
2. Apply Sebastian Penetraitt Repair Treatment Mask and use a wide tooth comb to evenly distribute.
3. Cover hair with a processing cap and place under a controlled heat source for 10-15 minutes.
4. Allow hair to cool. Rinse.
5. For added moisture and repair, apply Sebastian Penetraitt Overnight Repairing Serum to towel-dried hair. Do not rinse. This serum provides instant hydration to plump dry, damaged hair. It’s designed for those who love to experiment with their hair but may have experienced damage from hot tools or coloring. Damage causes hair to feel dry and brittle, with a loss of shine and smoothness. Overnight Repairing Serum makes hair look and feel thicker while locking in moisture and banishing frizz, leaving hair healthy. Wake up to softer, smoother, and more revitalized hair.
6. Style as desired by layering your choice of styling products on top.

Another shine product we love is Sebastian Professional Dark Oil Silkening Mist, a lightweight, fragrant spray infused with a special blend of oils, including jojoba and argan. Watch as it creates unbelievable shine and a silky, touchable feel. It’s ideal for use in the salon before a blow-dry or as a finishing touch to elevate any look with an extra dose of shine.
