Behold the incredible work of celebrity stylist, Anthony Palermo of the Anthony Leonard Salon located on swanky Madison Avenue in New York City. Anthony is world reknowned for his cutting edge coloring techniques. He is a big fan of Manic Panic® Semi-Permanent Hair Color. We asked Anthony how he got the blue on the model and to share his professional tips with us all:

"This photo was recently featured in Moden Salon. The model has a classic Audrey Hepburn look, updated with a blue coiff. I used a mixture of 3 Manic Panic® Hair Colors: Bad Boy Blue, After Midnight Blue, Atomic Turquoise.

Always start with clean hair that has been bleached to the lightest possible shade. Manic Panic® Hair Color has conditioner in it so the hair will come back with softness once you apply your color.

For intense results you may have to do more than one application. You should leave the color in your hair for at least one hour because it is also acting as a conditioner.

I love to mix the colors! I like to get creative and mix several in a bowl.

I always tell my clients if you are going to do this at home you should spend the extra $$ and get extra jars to make at least two batches.

Manic Panic® Hair Color is not just for skaters and punk rockers - it's on the runways in Paris and the pages of Vogue. It is a very sophisticated, today look.

For ladies who are looking for a change - there is nothing wrong with wearing a head of Manic Panic® Hair Color! With the right cut you can be (Shocking™) Blue, Green (Envy™), Fuschia (Shock™) - any color at all - and look completely stunning and go anywhere with it. As long as the look is polished with the proper cut and styling tools."
