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 choose the next best step for where you are in your color journey.

What We Teach

We teach color theory, hair color chemistry, and formulation strategy, all designed to help you feel in control of the color choices you make behind the chair. No matter what brand you use, we focus on helping stylists understand the what & why behind what’s happening in the hair and in the bowl.

Follow the Education Roadmap above to grow your understanding of formulation, one layer at a time.

 The Education Journey

✨ Free Resources: Start here if you’re just beginning to shift your thinking and want to start seeing color more clearly. These tools will introduce key ideas and help you look at color in a new way.

✨ Beginner-Friendly Classes: Start here if you’re ready to learn the “what and why” behind color. Perfect for stylists just starting their theory journey, OR seasoned pros ready to finally fill in some of their gaps. This level starts building your color and chemistry language so you can feel more grounded and confident behind the chair.

✨ In-Depth Classes: Start here if you’ve already begun exploring theory and are ready to go deeper. These classes teach you how to think more critically, formulate more purposefully, and predict your results more accurately no matter what color line you choose to use.

✨ Learning Community: This is where we support students who’ve taken our in-depth live classes. Inside, we help you apply the theory you’ve learned, troubleshoot real formulas, get your post-class questions answered, access continued education content, and continue growing your skills with ongoing support.

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!
