Colorazzi

Ever wonder how top color gurus make their A-list clients light up in film and on the red carpet? Well, look no further! Celebrity colorists reveal their megawatt formulations. We've also asked our very own colorazzi — James Gartner and David Robin Munn — give their versions of the celeb—driven formulas—using different brands, natch!

Jane Seymour, Actress

Color by celeb beauty pro and philanthropist Marie Ferro, owner of Marie's Hair Studio in SoCal's exclusive Malibu Colony

Jane Seymour's lovely, long locks are strictly the domain of Marie Ferro, who has kept them colored and conditioned to perfection for the past 13 years. "Jane is a wonderful human being who supports many charities throughout the world, and is a great champion of women in many capacities," notes Ferro. "We've become friends over the years; I find her to be an incredible inspiration in terms of her integrity, loyalty and support. Because I cannot travel and maintain a salon at the same time, Jane has her hair styled by many 'dressers while traveling the globe, but she always manages to come to me every three weeks for her haircolor and rejuvenating hair treatments."

Megan Fox, Actress

Color by George Papanikolas of the Andy LeCompte Salon in West Hollywood, CA

Even though George Papanikolas is fresh off the frenetic Britney Spears Circus Tour (where his grueling schedule included doing the ring-mistress' hair for 36 shows in 32 cities in just 10 weeks!), he still takes the time to chat it up with The Colorist about another of his fetching damsels: actress Megan Fox, whose starring roles in upcoming movies Jennifer's Body (2009), Jonah Hex (2010) and The Crossing (2011) show off her best asset_her hair, of course!

"I truly believe that haircolor formulas don't have to be complicated in order to create amazing color," Papanikolas reveals. "For Megan, I created a spectacular, warm, uniform brown by using two Joico Vero K-PAK Color shades-one for her regrowth area and one for her shafts and ends. Because I deepen Megan's natural haircolor a couple of shades, I use permanent haircolor and 20-volume developer on the regrowth to ensure that the hair still exudes shimmering warmth." He adds that Fox's hectic schedule and constant exposure to sizzling lights cause her shafts and ends to fall brassy. "I use a demipermanent formula on these areas to deepen and control the warmth," shares Papanikolas. "The results are a uniform, level 4, rich warm brown from roots to ends without causing any unnecessary damage to her hair."
