Jenny House Code

The Salon Code Origin is the base formula in the line - designed for even, natural-looking color that blends with your existing hair tone rather than overwhelming it. 'Origin' in the product naming refers to the formula's approach: starting from the hair's natural pigment base and building on it rather than stripping and re-pigmenting. This approach generally produces a softer, more natural result and is less harsh on hair than maximum-lift formulas.

It's the right choice for your first application in the Salon Code range, or for maintenance between bigger color changes. It works particularly well for gray coverage at the root area where you want the result to match your existing color as closely as possible.

Salon Code Glam is the higher-pigment variant, designed for visible color payoff rather than natural blending. If you want a clear shift in tone - going darker, adding warmth, or creating noticeable color dimension - Glam delivers more intensity than Origin. The 'Glam' positioning means the result reads as intentional color rather than a subtle enhancement.

Glam works best on pre-lightened or mid-brown hair where the higher pigment concentration can fully express. On very dark hair, the color deposit will be visible but subtle - to see the full Glam effect on very dark hair, a prior lightening step improves the outcome significantly.

The Season 3 Salon Code Origin in Wine Brown is a targeted shade release within the Origin line. Wine Brown is a popular Korean beauty hair color - a cool-toned dark brown with red-wine undertones that photographs well and flatters a wide range of skin tones. The cool-red base differentiates it from warm auburn or chocolate brown shades.

As an Origin-formula shade, Wine Brown delivers its tone with the same natural-result approach as the standard Origin - it's the right choice for a clear but polished tonal shift without going into high-fashion vivid territory. It's particularly popular as a winter color because the red undertones add warmth visually while staying within a dark brown range that reads as professional in most contexts.

General application steps for both Origin and Glam:

1. Prepare: Mix the color cream and developer following the product instructions. Wear gloves. Apply petroleum jelly or a thick conditioner along your hairline to prevent staining skin.
2. Section the hair: Divide into four sections using clips. This ensures even coverage and prevents missing spots.
3. Apply from roots: Starting at the root area closest to the scalp (where gray is most visible), apply color in sections. Work systematically from the parting outward.
4. Process time: Follow the package instructions - typically 20 to 30 minutes. Don't exceed the stated processing time; it won't improve color saturation but can increase damage to the hair shaft.
5. Rinse: Rinse with lukewarm water until the water runs clear. Follow with the conditioner included in the kit.

For the best gray coverage with Origin, apply to the root area first and leave the lengths for the final 5 minutes of processing time - roots take color more slowly than mid-lengths and ends.

After coloring, a few practices extend the life of the result:

• Wait 48 hours before washing hair after coloring. The first 48 hours the color is still setting in the hair shaft; washing too early causes early fade.
• Use a color-safe or sulfate-free shampoo. Standard shampoos with strong sulfates strip color significantly faster.
• Wash with cool rather than hot water. Heat opens the hair cuticle and accelerates pigment loss.
• Limit heat styling in the week after coloring when the cuticle is most open.

With these steps, Salon Code color typically lasts four to six weeks before visible fading. Root regrowth is more noticeable than fade for most users - re-applying to roots every four weeks while leaving lengths alone reduces cumulative chemical exposure.

Wine Brown's cool undertone makes it universally flattering - it doesn't clash with warm or cool skin tones the way a purely warm brown or auburn can. If you're unsure which shade in the Salon Code range suits you, Wine Brown is the safest entry point for dark brunette or near-black hair.

Origin's natural-coverage formula suits warm and neutral skin tones well because it works with your existing hair pigment rather than introducing a strong new tone. Glam's higher pigment concentration is more versatile for cool-toned skin because its vibrancy creates more contrast.

JENNY HOUSE is a Korean professional beauty brand with a background in salon services. Founded with a salon-first approach, the brand developed its retail haircare and color lines around the standards expected in professional settings. The Salon Code range specifically bridges the gap between professional formula quality and the practicality of at-home application.

The brand is available in Korea at dedicated JENNY HOUSE salons and through select retailers. On skinsli, the hair color range ships directly to international customers.

Keep unmixed hair color in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Heat and light accelerate oxidation in the color cream, which can reduce pigment potency before you even open the package. Once mixed, the developer and color cream must be used immediately - the chemical reaction begins at mixing and the product cannot be stored after combination.

Check the expiry date on the packaging before use. Expired developer can produce uneven or unpredictable results because the peroxide concentration may have degraded.
