A hair color so sweet-looking itdeserved a delicious dessert name! Hair colorist Ryan Pearl of the Cutler Salonin New York City coined the “chocolate chip cookie” shade — a color we are already cravingto try.
In an interview with fellow famed hairstylist Jen Atkin on her blog Mane Addicts, Ryan explained that his bold dimensional blonde and soft honey hue works best on a person with a “darker base color.” As his client’s hair grows out, the SoHo colorist revealed that their locks will continue to “look polished” with this particular look.
Through his own creative application, Ryan is able to create the low maintenance color. He explained, “I try to ‘add to the look’ I’ve created by paintingribbon-like pieces that cascade over her face while I ‘stagger’ the heightof the painted pieces on the sides and back of her head. Then I paint asection of hair and blend in the ends of another section of hair as a way toaccentuate POP.”
And as for the inspiration behind the delectable name? The New York based colorist said, “I often use food terms as a way to ‘paint a picture’ and make itmuch easier for a client to understand what I’ve done.”
Ryan added, “These tones I may call ‘chocolatechip cookie’ because it’s a much more interesting, fun,and relatable way to name a color than simply referring to it as‘warm or cold.'”
