About this Event
Custom Effortless Color:
Subtle & Seamless An expanded look & learn experience for stylists seeking clarity, depth, and confidence behind the chair.
A seamless color transformation can feel intimidating — especially when you’re trying to maintain brightness, dimension, and softness without going too dark, muddy, or brassy. In this class, we dive into not only what to do, but why, so you can confidently customize every client based on their desired inspiration, undertone, maintenance preferences, and personal style.
This year’s expanded format gives us the space to go deeper into formulation, technique, social media & branding, and client-specific customization. You’ll watch a full transformation in real time with detailed explanation, guided breakdowns, and space to ask questions throughout — including how to transition a traditional “foil highlight” client into a softer, more modern lived-in color approach.
What You’ll Learn
Strategic Color Placement
• One live model from start to finish (a real, everyday client—not a curated “perfect canvas”)
• Adapting foil placement for different densities, textures, and starting levels
• How to roadmap a custom color client using the 3 P’s (Parting, Placement & Pickup) for consistent, intentional results
• Transitioning a traditional highlight client to a more lived-in, dimensional look
Formulation with Intention
• Choosing between warm, neutral, and cool based on complexion + natural undertone
• Creating depth that adds richness without going flat, green, hollow, or muddy
• Approaching toning + root smudging with clarity — understanding why each formula works
• Building tone that enhances features, not just “matches hair”
Finishing & Content
• Blowout & finishing techniques to show movement + depth
• How to schedule and plan a content day
Business + Branding Expansion (New for 2026)
• Identifying your brand voice & attracting clients you actually want
• Updated social strategy (what’s working now vs. what no longer matters)
• Strategic scheduling, pricing, and sustainable growth without burnout
• Real talk about confidence, longevity, and building a business you want to run
