Welcome To Colors With Chemistry!

Hey There!

Whether you found us on Instagram, heard about us from a fellow stylist, or were deep in a color struggle search, you're in the right place!

This page breaks down what we teach, who it's for, and how to find the next step that fits you and where you are on your color journey. 

What We Teach...

We teach color theory, hair color chemistry and formulation skills that actually help you feel in control of your color choices behind the chair, no matter what brand you color you choose to put in your color bowl. 

Follow the education roadmap above to grow your understanding of hair color formulation, 

one layer at a time.

Whether you're just starting out or you’ve been digging into theory for a while, this map is here to help you build toward purposeful, science-backed formulation, with more clarity, more confidence, and more creative freedom.

Take one class, a few, or all of them, whatever feels right for you and where you are on your journey. You don’t have to learn everything at once. This path is designed to meet you where you are.

If you’re newer to learning color theory or hair color chemistry, jump into the beginner-friendly classes — they’ll give you the language and clarity to start seeing your work in a whole new way.

If you’ve already started exploring theory and you're craving a deeper understanding of formulation, the live, in-depth classes will challenge and support you every step of the way.

Basic Color Theory Gives You the Map

• Most stylists have learned basic color theory...
• Things like warm vs. cool 
• What cancels what
• Where tones live on the wheel
• That’s the map. It’s useful, but it only gets you so far.

Color Mixing Theory Teaches You How To USE It! 

• It’s the part that shows you how color behaves when it's mixed...
• How it shifts and reacts with what’s already in the hair
• It gives you a visual sense of what’s really happening in the bowl
• It’s not just “mix A + B = C”
• It’s about understanding how far and which way your formula is going to move in color
• It lets you steer your formulas instead of guesstimating
• It lets you visually predict what’s likely to happen before it happens
• It’s the applied part, the part that hairdressers actually do daily
   

Why Learn It?

• Because this is what helps you problem-solve with color
• Know exactly how to adjust a formula when the tone falls flat
• Shift direction when a mix goes too warm or too ashy
• Understand why what you put in the bowl isn’t always what shows up on the head
• Build what you actually need—not just pick what’s pre-mixed
• Use any color line you choose with confidence
• Predict what two tones will do when combined
• Know which tone will dominate a formula
• See which direction your mix will shift
• Know what tones to use—and how much—to get to your desired color

What Changes When You Learn Color Mixing Theory?

• ✅You feel more in control
  You can predict what’s likely to happen—before it happens.
• ✅ You fix things faster
  When something doesn’t turn out as expected, you’ll know why—and exactly how to adjust.
• ✅ You work across brands
  Once you understand hue, chroma, and how tones behave, you’re not limited by brand-specific “rules.”
• ✅ You make smarter choices
  You’ll know what tones to use, how much, and how to shift them to land on your target result.
• ✅ You get creative freedom
  You won’t be stuck choosing from a swatch—you’ll know how to build the tone you need.
•  ✅ You feel less anxious when choosing your deposit
  You’ll feel more confident in your choice—because you understand what it will do. 

Color theory is the what,
color mixing theory is the why and the how.

And that’s what gives you real control of your results!
