From the streets to the masses, vibrant haircolor is everywhere, with women and men flocking to the salon chair to rock bold looks adopted by celebrities and seen across numerous editorial spreads. Redken answers their growing demand with City Beats, a conditioning color cream designed to create the edgiest looks for the ultimate in color expression. The twelve high vibrancy shades of City Beats unleash the sights and sounds of New York City through professional salon haircolor so women and men can now feel the energy and hear the beat of the city streets while blazing their own creative path.
The City Beats collection consists of twelve stay-true hues from bold to pastel shades in a new formula that conditions and seals the hair cuticle for lasting vibrant color and healthy-looking hair. The haircolor is a direct-dye that lasts for up to twelve shampoos and can be applied to both natural and previously colored hair. Each shade has its own story and namesake inspired by the edge and energy of New York City’s iconic landmarks and trendiest neighborhoods:
- West Village Sunset: Discover one of NYC’s chicest neighborhoods. Walk the cobblestone streets, pop into shop or two and then grab a seat at a sidewalk café to watch the vivid orange sunset.
- Broadway Blue: Experience the unique edge of NYC. Feel the energy of the crowds, hear the beat of the music, and see the stage lights shining in shades of bold blue.

“Trend-conscious women and men are looking to mimic the vibrant haircolor hues seen everywhere,” says Redken Artist Sean Godard. “I’m so excited Redken has answered this growing demand with City Beats. The shade possibilities are endless and the semi-permanent formula allows women to customize their look for the ultimate in color expression.”
Keeping true to the city that never sleeps, Redken has enlisted art icon Eric Haze, a native New Yorker, to create City Beats’ street-inspired package design. From galleries to boutiques, Haze’s graffiti writing is easily recognizable and has made an impact in the worlds of art and design for over three decades. Chloe Nørgaard, New York City-based model, trendsetter and haircolor chameleon, was also announced as the newest Redken muse. For her debut, Redken Artist, Justin Isaac gave her a bold turquoise blue look.
