We will also introduce Topchic Zero, the newest addition to the iconic permanent in-salon color, Topchic, and another breakthrough hair color innovation by Goldwell. The conscious, incredibly caring, and ammonia-free formula allows stylists and consumers to feel good about more than just the color result.
