Description
What It Is
A concentrated, pure pigment additive for hair color. It comes in vivid, intense shades (Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Violet) that are used to intensify or neutralize hair color formulations.
What It Does / Key Features
Allows you to adjust tone in permanent, semi‑permanent, or demi‑permanent colors. Use to boost warmth, cool things down, or counteract unwanted tones (e.g. brassiness).
Delivers “true‑to‑tone” results: the pigment is formulated to give accurate color when mixed properly.
Fade resistant and long‑lasting when used correctly.
Works “seamlessly” with certain other Paul Mitchell color systems, especially Paul Mitchell The Color and PM Shines.
Usage & Application Notes
You do not use Color Shots by themselves (i.e. not meant as standalone toner or color) in most cases. They are meant to be mixed into other color formulas.
The manufacturer gives guidance on how much to use relative to your base color amount. For example (for the yellow shade), recommended amount per 2 oz of base color is 3 “shots”, and maximum 6 shots.
When adding to your formula, follow the mixing instructions provided for the base color (developer ratio, timing, etc.). Use gloves, as it is pigment‑rich.
Because it’s concentrated pigment, small changes in amount can significantly alter the final tone. It’s wise to do test strand or mix small batches first.
Size / Packaging
2 fl oz (≈ 60 mL) bottle.
Limitations / What It’s Not
Not recommended for use with certain color systems (e.g. with “lighteners” or some demi formulas) in some cases. Always check compatibility with your color brand and developer.
Because of its high pigment, can risk over‑saturation or unintended tone if used too heavily.
