Tips to Become a Successful Young Colourist!

In Colour, basic or advanced, it’s essential to know the basics first.

With me, I absolutely love the theory side and most people don’t, they find it boring but i was fascinated by it! So my attention was really focused on that. I say to my team all of the time, if you know what is happening with hair, inside out, you will never be in a position that you can’t fix it and so the theory side is crucial.

From a colour perspective you have got to know what you are doing, and so from there on yes you can break the rules until the cows come home, but unless you know them to start with, you can’t do that! So i always say to my team up to a level 2 or 3, abide by the rules and stick to them until you have mastered your craft. There after do what you want but with full respect to the hair’s condition and of course your clients requests –  its only then that you can put your personality and your stamp on your work, but you must not, and i believe very strongly about this, you must not do that until you know what you are doing because you can end up in serious trouble!

To create happy hair you have got to know your thing!
