the color collection
color with a little more thought behind it
HAIR COLOR IS PART SCIENCE, PART CREATIVITY, AND OCCASIONALLY A LESSON IN HUMILITY.
MY APPROACH TO COLOR EDUCATION IS ROOTED IN UNDERSTANDING WHAT’S HAPPENING BENEATH THE SURFACE SO YOU CAN MAKE BETTER DECISIONS, ADAPT TO THE CANVAS IN FRONT OF YOU, AND CREATE BEAUTIFUL WORK WITH CONFIDENCE.
THESE CLASSES AREN’T ABOUT GIVING YOU ANOTHER FORMULA TO MEMORIZE.
THEY’RE ABOUT GIVING YOU A BETTER WAY TO THINK ABOUT COLOR.
THERE IS RARELY ONE FORMULA, ONE PLACEMENT, OR ONE WAY TO GET FROM WHERE YOU ARE TO WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
EVERY HEAD OF HAIR BRINGS ITS OWN HISTORY, TEXTURE, UNDERLYING PIGMENT, PREVIOUS COLOR, AND SET OF VARIABLES.
THE MORE YOU UNDERSTAND THOSE VARIABLES, THE MORE CONFIDENTLY YOU CAN MAKE DECISIONS.
THAT’S WHAT I WANT MY COLOR EDUCATION TO GIVE YOU.
NOT A LIST OF RULES
NOT A RECIPE CARD
A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF COLOR THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY TAKE WITH YOU BEHIND THE CHAIR.
UNDERSTAND THE WHY. TRUST WHAT YOU SEE.
THE WAY I SEE COLOR
EXPLORE THE COLOR COLLECTION
TW0 CLASSES. TWO DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO BUILDING A STRONGER UNDERSTANDING OF COLOR.
PALETTE
COLOR THEORY & DESIGN
COLOR THEORY YOU CAN ACTUALLY USE BEHIND THE CHAIR.
PALETTE IS ABOUT UNDERSTANDING COLOR IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE IN THE REAL WORLD, NOT JUST ON A COLOR WHEEL.
WE’LL TAKE THE THEORY BEHIND FORMULATION AND TURN IT INTO SOMETHING PRACTICAL: SOMETHING YOU CAN SEE, UNDERSTAND, AND USE WHEN YOU’RE STANDING IN FRONT OF YOUR NEXT CLIENT.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
BUILD A STRONGER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW COLOR BEHAVES AND HOW THE PIECES FIT TOGETHER
COLOR THEORY
FORMULATION
LEARN HOW TO THINK THROUGH FORMULATION DECISION WITH MORE INTENTION
CORRECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
UNDERSTAND HOW TO ASSESS WHAT’S HAPPENING AND DETERMINE WHERE TO GO NEXT
NEUTRALIZATION
DEVELOP A CLEARER UNDERSTANDING OF UNWANTED TONES AND HOW TO APPROACH THEM
MOVE BEYOND MEMORIZED FORMULAS AND LEARN HOW TO MAKE COLOR DECISIONS BASED ON THE CANVAS IN FRONT OF YOU, AND INTENTIONAL STEPS
DECISION MAKING
PALETTE IS FOR PEOPLE WHO
WANT COLOR THEORY TO MAKE MORE SENSE IN THE REAL WORLD
FEELS CONFIDENT WITH FORMULAS UNTIL SOMETHING UNEXPECTED HAPPENS

ILLUME
BLONDING & PLACEMENT
SEE BLONDING DIFFERENTLY
ILLUME IS A DEEPER DIVE INTO THE DECISIONS BEHIND CREATING BEAUTIFUL, PREDICTABLE BLONDES
WE’LL LOOK BEYOND THE FINISHED RESULT AND INTO THE THINGS THAT DETERMINE IT; LIGHTENING, UNDERLYING PIGMENT, FORMULATION, PLACEMENT, AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEM
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
UNDERSTAND HOW HAIR RESPONDS THROUGHOUT THE LIGHTENING PROCESS AND HOW TO MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON WHAT YOU ACTUALLY SEE
LIGHTENING
LEARN TO RECOGNIZE WHAT THE HAIR IS TELLING YOU AND HOW THAT INFORMATION SHOULD INFLUENCE YOUR NEXT MOVE
UNDERLYING PIGMENT
DEVELOP A MORE INTENTIONAL APPROACH TO FORMULATION RATHER THAN RELYING ON FORMULAS THAT WORKED ON SOMEONE ELSE
FORMULATION
UNDERSTAND HOW PLACEMENT AFFECTS THE FINISHED RESULT AND HOW TO MAKE CHOICES BASED ON THE LOOK YOU’RE TRYING TO CREATE
PLACEMENT
LEARN HOW TO ASSESS, ADJUST, AND MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE CANVAS DOESN’T QUITE COOPERATE WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAN
PROBLEM SOLVING
ILLUME IS FOR PEOPLE WHO
WANT TO UNDERSTAND BLONDING BEYOND A STEP BY STEP PROCESS
WANTS MORE CONFIDENCE WHEN THE STARTING CANVAS ISN’T IDEAL
FINDS THEMSELVES ASKING WHY A RESULT HAPPENED, NOT JUST HOW TO RECREATE IT
WANTS TO BECOME BETTER AT MAKING DECISIONS, NOT JUST COLLECTING TECHNIQUES
