Crazy Color: The Original Rebel of Hair Colour — Now at Zilion

Life is entirely too short for boring hair. Since the punk-rock explosion of 1977, Crazy Color has been the go-to for those who refuse to blend into the background. Born in the UK and used in the world’s most avant-garde salons, this iconic pink bottle has arrived in New Zealand. At Zilion, we are proud to be an official stockist, bringing the full spectrum of semi-permanent hues to your doorstep—from the bright streets of Auckland to the creative hubs of Wellington and beyond.

About Crazy Color: More Than Just Dye

Crazy Color wasn’t created in a corporate boardroom; it was born in the heart of the DIY hair revolution. Unlike traditional permanent dyes that use harsh chemicals to open the hair cuticle, Crazy Color is a semi-permanent conditioning cream. It doesn't just change your look; it treats your hair with a protein-rich formula that leaves it feeling softer and looking glossier than before you started.

The Range: A Kaleidoscope in a Bottle

The Crazy Color universe at Zilion is vast. Whether you’re looking for a subtle pastel tint or a neon glow that stands out under the UV lights of a festival, there is a shade for you:

• The Icons: Legendary shades like Pinkissimo, Sky Blue, and Canary Yellow.

• The Neons: UV-reactive colours that literally glow under blacklight.

• The Pastels: Pre-mixed soft tones like Marshmallow and Peppermint.

• Colour Care: The Anti-Bleed Spray and Vibrant Color Shampoos designed to keep your hue locked in for longer against the harsh New Zealand sun.

• Bond Recovery: Innovative treatments that repair the hair while you colour.
