Black Cherry Corrective Color by Daisy at Aurelio Salon & Spa in Howell, NJ

Nicole came into Aurelio Salon & Spa in Howell, NJ unhappy with her hair. Her previous salon had dyed it black, and the result had left her hair damaged and flat with no dimension or life. She had a clear vision of what she wanted — a rich black cherry color — but getting there required a thoughtful, corrective approach that accounted for the existing black color on the hair without causing further damage. Daisy Rosania, Senior Director at Aurelio Salon, took on the challenge.

The Three-Formula Approach

Daisy’s solution was built around three custom Goldwell formulas applied strategically to different sections of the hair. Formula A was applied to the new growth at the root — the virgin hair that had not been previously colored black. On the mid-lengths and ends — where the existing black color sat — Daisy first sprayed Goldwell Dualsenses Equalizer Spray throughout to even out porosity and ensure the color would absorb consistently across these sections. Formula B was then applied to the mid-lengths and ends and allowed to process fully. After processing, Nicole’s hair was washed with Goldwell Dualsenses Color Fadestop Shampoo and Conditioner to seal in the result and protect the color from premature fading.

After towel-drying, Daisy applied Formula C as a glaze over all strands — tying the root, mid-length, and ends together into a seamless, unified result. This glazing step is what creates the depth and dimensional quality of the final black cherry color, preventing it from reading as flat or one-dimensional. After processing, the hair was rinsed, conditioned, and styled.

The Style

To finish, Daisy blow-dried Nicole’s hair using a large round brush for volume and smoothness. The styling products used — a root lift for body, a volumizing mousse for fullness through the mid-lengths, and a finishing spray for shine and hold — completed the transformation. The result was rich, dimensional black cherry color with the kind of shine and softness that only professional Goldwell color delivers.
