The Foundations Of Color Theory: A Two Day Hybrid Class Experience – LIVE On March 30th, 1:00–5:00pm EST
Day 1: On-Demand (Instant Access, Complete Before Day 2) | Day 2: LIVE On Zoom March 30th, 1–5pm EST

You stand at the color bar looking at your tubes and you're not sure which one to choose. You know your level, but the tone? You're guesstimating. You get close, but you're not really sure. And you don't know how to get close. You don't know how to be sure.
You pick something that seems right, mix it up, apply it, and hope. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. And you can't always explain why.
You're just ready to understand it. You want to understand what you have inside each tube. You want to look at the hair and read what's left. You want to be able to predict what'll happen in the hair before you mix that formula and apply it on their head. You want to feel sure.
This class teaches you how to see what you've been missing. We break down complex color theory into visual tools and hands on activities so you can actually SEE what's happening. You'll learn to decipher your color line, read remaining pigment, and choose your deposit with purpose.
This isn't a quick one. We're going deep, and deep takes time. Skills need to be built so you can actually use them in repeatable steps. You need movement forward you'll actually SEE.
We'll walk you through some awesome after class practice activities that build those skills one step at a time.
And when you hit that moment when you finally understand why something worked, when you look at a result and can explain exactly what happened, when you formulate and actually know what you're doing instead of crossing your fingers, that's when you know, you've GOT IT!!
How The HYBRID Class Works...
🎥 Day 1 – On Demand (Instant Access):
Start on your Day 1 class as soon as you sign up! You'll get ~3.5 hours of self-paced teaching plus guided activities to help you map out your color line, see what's actually inside your tubes, and where they live on the color wheel.
💡 Complete Day 1 before attending the live class.
💻 Day 2 – Live on Zoom (March 30th, 1:00–5:00pm EST):
Join us live via Zoom! We'll recap your Day 1 work, then teach you how color actually mixes. Once you understand the principles, you'll learn to use the Directional Color Mapping System™ with your own color line to see and predict how your tones will behave. You'll work in ratios and levels on your wheel, troubleshoot real formulations, and leave knowing how to make your tonal choices.

“Yes, it was a Zoom class, but so informative and engaging we hardly felt like we were on Zoom! We dug into color theory, learned new ways to formulate, and stayed active the whole time.”
Thank you so much for the amazing class!! I wish I would have been taught this years ago. Makes so much sense!! Definitely the missing piece I've been searching for.
Thank you so much for the amazing class!! I wish I would have been taught this years ago. Makes so much sense!! Definitely the missing piece I've been searching for. I've heard a lot of this before but the way you explain it makes sense in my brain. I'm an educator for a color company and I could never quite find the words to explain the why when teaching color conversions. Doing the swatches and seeing everyone else's was so eye opening. Makes so much sense why stylists struggle when switching brands! Excited to join the CWC Community and will definitely be taking the next class.
I can honestly say I performed my best color in my 17 years as a hair dresser.
I've been swatching my colors like a maniac. Tonight I cut 10 inches off my client's hair. While her highlights were processing, I swatched her hair that I had cit off so when it was time to color/tone I was totally prepared and I can honestly say I performed my best color in my 17 years as a hairdresser. Thanks for helping me build a stronger foundation. It's totally paying off!
Everything about this class was sooooo good. The information was presented well, with being able to ask questions during the class.
Thank you so much for this class. I feel like I have added tools to my color tool belt. Thank you so much! I can truly say I walked away from this with more color knowledge and understanding of color theory. I know now what I'm really working with and how to use the tools I have and just understanding how what is in the tube works with the hair's pigment. There's a lot of bricks to color theory, but understanding better how the bricks come together to get a beautiful final result fills in the gaps. Everything about this class was sooooo good. The information was presented well, with being able to ask questions during the class. The base color in the tube is soooo helpful for formulating and the idea of swatching to have a visual of what's in the tube is so useful. Thank you again for this class.
