Pink hair and Martha Stewart aren’t two things you’d expect to see in the same sentence — until now.
Celebrity hairstylist and Schwarzkopf Professional Global Color Ambassador Chris Appleton just gave the lifestyle icon a rose gold makeover, swapping her signature light blonde/gray for a soft, glossy pink dubbed “Rose Gold.”
“Rose gold is the delicate balance between pink and gold; the gold softens the pink from anything vivid to make it more wearable. It’s like a rose champagne and it’s more complimentary to all skin tones,” Appleton shares.
The Shade
“Rose Gold,” is a soft, luminous pink with warm golden undertones, giving Martha’s blonde a playful refresh while keeping it polished and wearable. This change iss part of a broader shift toward soft, personalized washes of color as an alternative to traditional blonde — pink, peach, and rose gold tones that let clients experiment without fully abandoning a lighter base. On Martha, the pink-gold blend creates a multidimensional finish that still complements her signature blonde.
Here’s exactly how Chris Appleton created Martha’s “Rose Gold” look using Schwarzkopf Professional products:
- Highlights:
- BLONDME Premium Lightener 9+ + 20 Volume Developer — creates a bright, even canvas
- All-Over Gloss:
- IGORA VIBRANCE: 9.5-19 + 9.5-5
- Blended with 0-00 Clear to soften the color and create a sheer, glossy rose gold finish
