The Complete Wella Professionals Buying Guide: Koleston Perfect, Blondor & EIMI

Wella Professionals is one of the most trusted names in professional hair colour worldwide, with a history stretching back to 1880 in Germany. From a single hair care product developed by Franz Ströher, Wella has grown into a global professional brand whose Koleston Perfect permanent colour and Blondor lightening systems are found in virtually every serious colorist's toolkit.

The range we stock is organised around what a salon actually orders: Koleston Perfect ME+ and Koleston Xpress for permanent colour; Color Touch for demi-permanent toning and gloss; Color Charm for value permanent colour and liquid toners; Blondor, BlondorPlex and Freelights for lightening; Welloxon Perfect, Pure White and Color Perfect developers alongside the pre- and post-colour service products; ColorMotion+, INVIGO and Ultimate Color for colour-treated care; Ultimate Repair, Fusion and Wellaplex No. 3 for repair; Ultimate Smooth, Oil Reflections, Elements and NutriCurls for smoothing, shine, gentle cleansing and curls; and EIMI for styling.

At ProHair.ca we carry Wella across the colour room and the retail shelf — the tubes, developers, lighteners and toners a colorist works with, and the shampoos, masks, leave-ins and styling products a client takes home. Wella is the professional standard that both stylists and colour-savvy clients recognise by name.

Ten Products Worth Starting With

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ME+ molecule in Koleston Perfect?

The ME+ molecule is Wella's patented innovation — a modified colour molecule that stays larger inside the hair shaft rather than escaping to the scalp. This significantly reduces the risk of developing a new colour allergy and delivers more vibrant, lasting colour inside the hair rather than on the scalp surface.

What is the difference between Blondor Multi Blonde and Blondor Freelights?

Multi Blonde is a traditional powder bleach designed for foil highlighting and on-scalp lightening — consistent, fast lift for standard blonde services. Blondor Freelights is formulated specifically for open-air techniques like balayage and hand-painting — it stays moist during the open-air processing time, allowing the lightener to develop without drying out. If you want bond protection built into the lift, BlondorPlex is the dust-free powder to reach for.

Is ColorMotion+ good for colour-treated hair?

ColorMotion+ is designed specifically for colour-treated hair. The shampoo is sulfate-free, the system uses Color Preserve technology to lock colour in, and the Structure+ Mask is the treatment step colorists most often send home after a service. We stock the shampoo, the conditioner, the Structure+ Mask and a Colour Protection Set. If you want a lighter daily option, INVIGO Brilliance and Ultimate Color cover the same job at different price points.

What is Wellaplex, and which steps do you carry?

Wellaplex is Wella's bond multiplier. The full professional system is three steps — No. 1 added to colour or bleach, No. 2 applied after rinsing, and No. 3 as an at-home maintenance treatment. At ProHair.ca we stock Wellaplex No. 3 Hair Stabilizer 100ml for at-home use. For in-salon bond protection during a lightening service we carry BlondorPlex, the dust-free powder lightener with bond protection built in, and BlondorPlex No.2 Bond Stabilizer for the post-lightening step.

Is Wella Professionals available in Canada?

Yes — ProHair.ca is an authorized Canadian Wella Professionals retailer, shipping across Canada with free shipping on orders over $120. The range we stock covers Koleston Perfect, Koleston Xpress, Color Touch, Color Charm, Blondor and BlondorPlex, Welloxon Perfect and Pure White developers, ColorMotion+, INVIGO, Ultimate Repair, Ultimate Color, Ultimate Smooth, Fusion, Oil Reflections, Elements, NutriCurls, Wellaplex No. 3 and EIMI styling.

How does Wella compare to Schwarzkopf Professional for colour?

Both are German professional colour powerhouses with over 100 years of history, and we carry both. Wella Koleston Perfect is known for vibrant, true-to-tone results and the ME+ allergy-reducing molecule. Schwarzkopf IGORA Royal — a separate brand from Henkel, not a Wella line — is known for its precision, NG Grey technology and strong grey coverage. Both are excellent; the choice usually comes down to stylist training and preference.

What is the EIMI line?

EIMI is Wella's professional styling range — mousses, sprays, creams, pastes, gels and serums for every styling need. The products we currently stock include Extra Volume strong-hold mousse, Sugar Lift volume spray, Ocean Spritz salt spray, Thermal Image heat protection, Perfect Setting blow-dry lotion, Stay Firm finishing spray, Rugged Texture matte paste, Flowing Form anti-frizz balm, Perfect Me BB lotion, Pearl Styler gel and the EIMI NutriCurls Curl Shaper and Soft Twirl for curls.
