Two gorgeous hair colours

If you’re a freelance stylist looking for the industry’s best kept colour secret to offer to your clients - it’s time to meet your next game-changer: Goldwell Elumen.

Loved for its vibrancy, shine, and zero damage promise, Elumen is a completely unique hair colour line, that delivers intense, dimensional colour results - without peroxide, ammonia, or oxidative damage.

It lasts as long as a permanent colour, yet feels like a conditioning treatment, and it’s perfect for new/tourist clients as there is no patch test is required!

💡 Why Elumen?

Goldwell Elumen isn't just another hair colour – Since 2001 it has been a groundbreaking innovation in the professional hair artistry.

Key benefits:

  • ✅ Ammonia-free, oxidative-free, and damage-free
  • ✅ Up to 100% grey coverage (with @NN shades)
  • ✅ Vegan formula, with up to 95%-99% naturally derived ingredients
  • ✅ No patch test required*
  • ✅ Up to 76% more colour intensity, up to 37% more shine, and 20% longer durability compared to oxidative permanent colour**

*Patch testing still recommended if your client has reacted to oxidative dyes in the past.

✨ What’s inside the magic?

Elumen is a “physical” colour that works entirely without oxidising but still achieves spectacular colour results.

It uses HDmax Technology, a system of direct dyes that physically anchor colour deep into the hair shaft with the Magnet Effect - for results that shine, last, and feel amazing. No lifting, no compromise.
