About the Class
This class is designed to help you achieve consistent results every time you do a color service. You will be able to identify which techniques are needed to achieve specific results based on universal principles that will never change. We will review undertones, levels, hair structure, texture and density. We will spend time creating and reviewing our universal tool, the color wheel, as well as how to choose colors, and how to place them in the hair to get a perfect and consistent result.

"Loved how they kept everyone interested."  "Wow - so many things - lots of info and great color ideas.'
