Flicking through the December issue of Allure magazine this morning we were totally pleased (but not at all surprised) to see Cult Beauty expert James Corbett featured in Allure’s directory of the top colourists in the US.

And it seems James’ innovative and multi-dimensional use of colour left Allure all aglow as they noted:

“The last time we requested barely there highlights at a salon, we spent two hours in the chair and got nothing but a few face-framing streaks. But Corbett painted dozens of superfine sections in champagne and wrapped them in foil, coating the sections in between with a sandy shade for contrast. After a deep conditioning treatment, he added a translucent glaze that produced a mirror-like sheen that was hard to miss – and easy to love.”

So if you find yourself in New York in the run up to Christmas be sure to pop along to the James Corbett Studio and have this wizard work his magic. You too could be a bobby dazzler in no time.
