This is your chance to learn career-defining color techniques in a masterclass setting from the icons of our industry. For a sneak peek into the must-attend education, poke through this list of six things every stylist will learn at Color The World virtual event!

 

1. Achieve Even, Radiant Level 10s (Every Time!)

Feel like your toners always pull ashy? Ever wonder how the IG stylists make their blondes so bright without breakage? It takes practice, but mastering technical blonding services can be career-defining.

 

Blonding extraordinaire Josie Vilay (@josievilay) put in the extra work (and experiments) so we don’t have to! If you’re looking for career-changing advice on how to master blonding services, we know the place to be

2. Coloring Curls & Coils—Yes, There Is A Wrong Way

The curly-girl queen Michelle O’Connor (@michelleoconnorbeauty) is passionate about stylists understanding how to service curly-haired clients. (And you should be, too!) 

 

“When lifting or decolorizing higher textures of hair it’s so important to work cleanly, saturate and use tension,” explains Michelle. “This will help ensure an even foundation for you to tone.” Coloring textured hair improperly is detrimental—but doing it well can guarantee loyal clientele for life.

3. Understanding How To Place Contrasting Tones For Dimension 

It might be simple to create contrasting tones, but if your placement is off it can change the entire look of your client’s features. Understanding how to color and cut hair that contours the face is an essential element of having sought-after work. 

 

Celebrity colorist Greg Gilmore (@greg_gilmore) has mastered the art of complementary color and cutting—and if you’re on IG, you already know that!

4. Offering Classic + Trending Foiling Techniques 

No matter what trends come and go, the basics of foiling will always be the foundation of new techniques. Understanding how to make foils work for you is a skill that every stylist should be comfortable with.

6. Understanding When Trends Become Permanent Services 

There are a lot of “cash-grabby” hair trends that cycle through each year. But when industry-changing services like balayage begin to transform into custom techniques like foilayage, you need to be prepared to deliver. 

 

Lived-in blonde looks will never go out of style, so keeping up to date on the latest versions of these services is super important. Jessica Scott Santo (@jessicascotthair) has mastered the art of adding shadow roots, painting tip-outs and foilayaging where necessary WITHOUT overdoing it. (You can, too!)
