Red hair dyes are the best option for a client who is looking for attention, as they look good on most people regardless of their skin tone, and make them stand out from the crowd. However, there is one type of red hair that is even less common and will make your clients look unique: the Venetian blonde. In this article we will tell you what Venetian blonde is, how to apply it and other tips and recommendations.

What is Venetian blonde?

In simple terms, Venetian blonde is a hair color that appears to be a reddish blonde, but is neither completely blonde nor coppery. It is known by various names: Venetian blonde, strawberry blonde, Venetian copper, etc.

Its history does not originate in modern hairdressing, this hair color has been the goal of many women for hundreds of years. We can trace its beginnings back to the Venice of the Middle Ages, hence the term we know it by today.

In ancient times, to achieve the Venetian red they used a dye based on a mixture of saffron, lemon and exposure to the sun. Through this process they were able to give their hair the light red blonde hair color they were looking for.

It is a very difficult shade of hair to achieve and that is why it is so sought after. It looks very natural and suits people with fair complexions. Maybe you've seen someone with this shade of hair and never noticed it before. You've probably even seen one of your favorite actresses wearing it.

What they have in common Jessica Chastain, Amy Adams and Emma Stone is that they share the same hair color. You can see that these 3 actresses have red blonde hair, which gives them their very unique and recognizable look.

Differences between red hair and Venetian blonde hair

You might think at first glance that red hair and Venetian blonde hair are the same, but there are subtle differences that make the distinction between one and the other. Venetian blonde is a combination of the lighter shade of red or copper and blonde highlights, giving a light red blonde result.

How to achieve Venetian blonde step by step

Venetian blonde is not a color for everyone and can be very difficult to achieve as you need to have a particular shade of hair. The process may sound simple, but its success requires very particular characteristics as outlined below.

First of all, the client must have light copper or blonde hair. In case your client has blonde hair, you will have to color the hair to a very light red or copper. From that point on the procedure is the same for all clients, you just need to add blonde highlights throughout the hair to blend the two shades together.

After the coloring process, it is important to moisturize your client's hair to ensure the best possible result. Remember that any coloring process can dry out and damage the hair.

It is important to let any client interested in this hair color know that while it is unique and will make her stand out, it is a difficult shade to wear as it only goes well with certain skin tones. If you are not sure if your client's complexion will go well with Venetian blonde, it is best to do a color test and then decide.

To maintain the color it is advisable to retouch every two to three months or use toners that bring out the copper in the hair.

Now you know all about Venetian blonde! You're ready to start offering this unique color to your clients looking for a different style.
