The following topics are some of what will be covered:

  • Step-by-step guide to failsafe formulation and consultation with an emphasis on WHY.

  • Things they never told you about formulation in Beauty School
  • The color wheel and beyond
  • Undertones, the Level System, filling and toning.  When, how, why.
  • Breaking the Base.   What does it mean?  When should you do it?  How does it affect grow out?  How does it affect gray?  How is it affected by texture?
  • Using the power of underlying pigment for good and not evil
  • And more, including “Scenarios”:  Bring your formulation nightmares and solve them once and for all.
