In March 2020, Modern Color co-founder Ilya Mavi knew he had a big problem. As a top colorist and salon owner in Manhattan for over 20 years, his phone was now ringing off the hook with long-time clients literally begging him to come over and fix their fading color, fast.
Trying to stay safe himself in the middle of pandemic lock-downs, Ilya Mavi’s first instinct was to recommend hair color solutions that his clients could buy and use themselves at home. But, the more he researched brands currently on the market, the more he was worried that these drug-store color solutions would only be causing more damage to his clients’ hair.
The idea to introduce a better product to the market came to fruition after Ilya Mavi reached out to long-time friend , haircare manufacturer, and formulator for over 20 years, Brett Cayton for a solution. Together, they combined Ilya Mavi’s east coast stylist savvy with Brett Cayton’s west coast penchant for developing natural, nourishing and scientifically proven hair care methods to create this all-in-one color depositing cleanser and conditioner, Modern Color, with Nourish Color Bond Technology™.
