Find out more about Karine and her colour loves and hates below...












Name: Karine Jackson


Salon: Director of Karine Jackson and UK creative director of Organic Colour Systems.


Training and qualifications: NVQ levels 1,2 and 3 and L'Oréal Colour Specialist Degree 


When did you decide to specialise in colour?
I have always been passionate about colour and it was when I did the Colour Degree that I really threw myself into colour. But what iced the cake was when I started to use Organic Colour Systems; I love working with such a fresh product and you really have to think about mastering your colouring skills. We also work a lot with cancer patients and their road to recovery; we are passionate about making this as least stressful as possible.


Why do you love working with colour? 
Colour can transform us in so many ways. It's like accessorising a great cut. It can really change our mood. Like I think naked toe nails are wrong. everyone should have a great colour!


Whose colour work do you admire the most? 
There are a lot of amazing colourists in London  Working with Carolyn Newman was really
inspiring and of course Annie Humphreys; she is sooo passionate about colour.


Where do you find your inspiration?
Life is full of inspirations! Nature shows us a lot but to me colour shouldn't just follow
trends - it needs to suit the client and their lifestyle. 


What colours do you predict we'll be seeing a lot of this Spring/Summer?
We are already starting to see a lot of pastel blondes. I also predict a lot of reverse ombre colour and clean fresh global colours.


What techniques are you using a lot of at the moment?
We're seeing a lot of the reverse ombre look and doing loads of global colour.


Which colour trend do you wish had never taken off?
I've never really thought about this as I think all trends have a time and a place. I suppose if I
had to choose, I'd go with the chunky highlights on your parting which can look really tacky.


Which celebrity do you think always gets colour right? 
I'm not sure she always gets it right, but I love that Kelly Osbourne has such a good time with colour and for the last few years she's been looking amazing.
