## About Professional Hairdressing Education

I keep things simple - no more confusion, just clear, practical hairdressing education. After 18 years behind the chair, I know what actually helps stylists level up. My sessions are all about understanding the 'why' behind every move, not just copying steps.

### What I Teach

- Deep dives into Wella color formula training - I break down mixing ratios, developer choices, and how to get consistent results, whether you’re using Koleston Perfect or Color Touch.
- Balayage technique workshop: from free-hand painting to nailing that perfect bronde or sandy look, even without bleach.
- Creative hair coloring classes - think trending shades like Magenta Pink, Lilac, Copper, and custom blends like "Irish Coffee Mocha".
- Cutting and styling basics: Elevation, Over-direction, and practical hacks for volume and grip (Velcro rollers, round brush tricks), plus men’s grooming and clipper work.
- Hair porosity test education - learn to analyze hair and scalp, pick the right products, and understand treatments like Wella’s ‘No Breaker’ for hair health.
- Client consultation skills: how to build trust, ask the right questions, and why you can’t skip strand or patch tests.

### Real Talk

Salon life is tough on the body. Din bhar khade rehna (standing all day) means back pain is real. I share tips on body posture, ergonomics, and even some yoga stretches that keep me pain-free.

Everything I teach is rooted in the Wella Professionals ecosystem, so you get deep, hands-on knowledge with the products you actually use.
