In short: Revlon Professional is built around four salon pillars — Uniq One (the multi-benefit leave-in treatment), Equave (instant detangling care), Pro You (the salon care and styling system) and Magnet (the technical lightening and bond-protection range). This guide explains what each range is for and how to use it behind the chair and on the retail shelf.
Written for salon professionals. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions on pack and carry out the recommended tests before any chemical service.
What is Revlon Professional?
Revlon Professional is the salon-only arm of Revlon, supplying hair care, styling and technical colour-service products to salons worldwide. At Hairco & Beauty the range covers everyday retail heroes, a full salon care and styling system, and a technical lightening line — so you can stock one brand across the trolley, the backwash and the retail shelf.
Revlon Uniq One: the multi-benefit leave-in
Uniq One is Revlon's best-known product — a leave-in treatment that bundles a stack of salon benefits into one quick step: conditioning, detangling, frizz control, heat protection, shine, body and a lightweight finish. Spray it through towel-dried hair from mid-lengths to ends, comb through and style as normal; there's no need to rinse.
- Uniq One All In One Hair Treatment — the original, in 150ml, 50ml and a 20ml sachet (ideal for retail trial and add-on sales).
- Coconut, Lotus and Blue variants — the same multi-benefit formula with different scents and finishes.
- Uniq One Conditioning Shampoo and Uniq One Hair Mask — to build the routine around the leave-in.
The sachet and 50ml sizes make Uniq One an easy retail add-on at the till — clients try it once and come back for it.
Revlon Equave: instant detangling care
Equave is Revlon Professional's iconic daily-care range — the original bi-phase instant detangling conditioner, first launched more than 25 years ago. Each is a leave-in spray with two phases: an upper phase that detangles and adds shine, and a lower phase that moisturises and nourishes the hair fibre. Shake to fuse the two phases together (the current formulas call this Kinetic Technology), then spray onto towel-dried hair and comb through — it works on both wet and dry hair, with no need to rinse. Think of it as a hair primer: the first step that leaves hair instantly detangled and protected, ready for the rest of the service or the home routine. The formulas are acidic (around pH 3–4), which helps smooth the cuticle for instant shine.
Shake it, spray it, detangle it — there's a version for almost every client, named here by your shelf name and the hair type it suits:
- Hydro — everyday hydration and detangling for normal to dry hair; keratin-enriched (50ml, 200ml, 500ml).
- Color Vibrancy — for colour-treated hair, to help protect tone (50ml, 200ml).
- Anti-Brassiness — for blonde, bleached, highlighted or grey hair; a high level of blue pigments neutralises unwanted yellow tones while it detangles and conditions (200ml).
- Curls Definition — for curly and wavy textures (50ml, 200ml).
- Strengthening — the anti-breakage conditioner for long hair: bamboo-inspired, made with 97% natural-origin ingredients, it reduces breakage from brushing and the look of split ends (200ml).
- Sun Protection — with broad-spectrum UVA/UVB filters for sun-exposed hair through the summer (100ml).
The range is rounded out by the Equave Detox Micellar Shampoo — a gentle, keratin-enriched, gel-texture cleanse for all hair types — and the Hydro Fusio-Oil for nourishment and shine. Because every client can use one, the instant detangling conditioners are one of the easiest retail add-ons in the range.
Revlon Pro You: the salon care and styling system
Pro You is Revlon Professional's modern salon system — "100% Pro, 100% You" — built on an Advanced Results Tech-System that targets the specific needs of each hair type. Each product is named for the job it does, making it quick to prescribe and easy to retail across care and styling.
Care
- The Moisturizer — shampoo and conditioner for hydration on dry hair.
- The Keeper — colour-care conditioner to help protect colour investment.
- The Tamer — smoothing shampoo, conditioner and balm for frizz control.
- The Toner — neutralising (purple) shampoo and conditioning foam to keep blondes cool.
Styling
- The Setter — extreme-hold hairspray (500ml and 750ml).
- The Definer — medium-hold mousse for body and shape.
- The Fixer — heat-protection and styling spray.
- The Amplifier — root-lifting volumising spray.
- The Twister — scrunch gel to activate and define curls.
Revlon Magnet: the technical lightening and bond range
Magnet is Revlon Professional's technical, back-bar range for lightening and protecting hair through chemical services. It pairs lighteners and developers with a system of pre-, during- and post-service treatments designed to protect the hair fibre.
- Lighteners: Magnet Blondes lightening powders (the 7 and 9, numbered for their lift potential), the Ultimate Clay Powder 8 for freehand and balayage, and the Soft Lightening Cream for gentle, on-scalp work.
- Developers: Magnet Blondes Developer in 10, 20 and 30 volume.
- Service protection: the Pre-Technical Equalizer to even out porosity before the service, the Technical Additive to mix into the formula, and the Post-Technical Treatment to rebalance afterwards.
- Repair and finish: the Daily Fix & Shield, the Ultimate Reparative Melting Balm and the Blondes Ultimate Oil for repair and neutralisation.
For the full breakdown of every Magnet lightener, developer and treatment, see our complete Revlon Magnet lightening guide. Magnet is a back-bar range — keep the powders, developers and technical treatments stocked together so the full protective system is on hand for every blonde and lightening service.
