Celebrity mom and television star Brooke Burke achieves her gorgeous, natural-looking hue with Wella Professionals' vibrant, long-lasting salon color.  Burke says, "My haircolor sets the tone for my entire look and really enhances my overall appearance, so maintaining my rich, healthy-looking brunette is one of my top beauty priorities."  Currently the co-host of the hit show "Dancing With the Stars," the host of "She's Got the Look" premiering on TV Land in August, and co-CEO of the Web site ModernMom.com, Brooke Burke has had a distinguished career as a model, actress and entrepreneur.   Like most women, Burke juggles a busy schedule and knows the importance of having a great colorist that she trusts to find the right shade and formulation that works best for her as well as the need to be aware of how her color formulation affects her hair health.    

"Over the past 130 years, Wella Professionals has been at the forefront of color innovation, working to ensure women don't have to compromise on their haircolor.  For many women, their relationship with their colorist may be one of the most important, yet 42% (1) of women have never had a color consultation with their stylist.   We're excited to hit the road to help women find the best color for them," says Mary Moulton, Brand Leader for Wella Professionals.   Following the personal consultations, women will be able to make an appointment at their local participating salon to receive a discounted color service and experience their haircolor transformation first hand.

The Wella Professionals Color Discovery Tour will visit eight cities nationwide throughout the summer including New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Miami, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco and Los Angeles.  Not coming to your city?  Wella is offering women nationwide the chance to win a trip to have a celebrity haircolor transformation with a top stylist in New York City.  One lucky winner and a friend will fly to New York for the weekend and enjoy an A-list treatment.  Sweepstakes details can be found on Wella Professionals' Facebook page.
