Meet Julie

 If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to understand hair color, you’re not alone... and you’re exactly who Julie teaches. She’s been there, staring at a formula that didn’t do what it was supposed to, frustrated by vague answers, and determined to find the deeper why behind it all.

That search for clarity became her calling. Julie created Colors With Chemistry to help stylists move beyond memorization into true understanding. Her mission is to give hairdressers the tools to think critically, formulate with purpose, and finally feel in control of their outcomes.

What drives Julie isn’t just the science... it’s the transformation that happens when stylists see color differently. Her teaching bridges chemistry and creativity, theory and real-life salon application. She brings deep expertise, but also deep care, creating a space where questions are welcomed, confidence is built, and real mastery begins to take shape.

She lives at the intersection of artistry, education, and empowerment. She doesn’t just teach what to do, she teaches how to understand it, how to adjust, how to trust your eye and your thinking. Her visual, practical system is built to support the moment the light-bulb goes off... and everything changes.

Because when you understand what’s really happening in the hair, you don’t have to guess anymore. You get to create, on purpose.

With over 25 years of experience behind the chair, Alisha quickly realized that artistry alone wasn’t enough, she wanted to know why. Why does this technique work on one canvas but not another? Why do certain formulas succeed or fail depending on the hair? That curiosity sparked a lifelong journey into the science behind the art.

Through years of hands-on work and continued learning, Alisha has answered countless questions for herself and others, supporting guests, educating fellow stylists, and even helping those who were once tasked with fixing their own hair. But she’s not done learning, and she’s not keeping what she’s learned to herself.

For Alisha, teaching is about more than technique. It’s about sharing the deeper understanding that transforms confusion into clarity and turns challenges into wins. Passing on knowledge, resources, and hard-earned experience to other creatives is more than rewarding, it’s what drives her.

Let’s go get these wins...together! 🏆
