Welcome To The Foundations Of Color Theory Class!
In the Foundations of Color Theory class, the focus is on learning how to see and understand hair color so you can make clear, purposeful choices no matter what color line you're using.
It’s not about memorizing what to do, copying formulas from a manual, or relying on what worked last time.
It’s about understanding the why behind color so you can make intentional decisions in any situation.
That means learning how to:
• Understand what color actually is and how it behaves
• Break down color using hue, chroma, and level
• Map the tones you're using and predict the path your mix will follow
• Decipher the tones in your line without having to wait for the company to tell you what's in there
• Adjust vibrancy and direction with purpose, not by guesswork, winging it or going by "feel"
• Understand what gives a formula strength and what weakens it
Most of us were taught color theory like a set of rules without being shown how to use it and WHY it's working or not working
So it's no surprise if you’re still asking questions like this:
➡️ Why didn’t that ash tone cancel the warmth?
➡️ Why did my neutral mix turn muddy?
➡️ How do I get softness without dulling the result?
➡️ Why do two formulas at the same level behave so differently?
➡️ How do I use the color wheel to make smart, targeted choices?
We’ll also cover how to read tone systems across different brands, how background affects vibrancy, and how to adjust your mixes depending on the reflect, the level, and what remaining pigment you're working with.
This class gives you the system, the language, and the visual tools to stop second guessing and start formulating with purpose no matter what brand you use!

Learning with us doesn’t end when the Zoom call does, it's just the beginning!
We’ve designed the whole experience to help you bridge the gap between theory and real world application.
We don't want you to just understand the theory, we want you to be able to use what you've learned to help solve your everyday color challenges behind the chair
After any class, here’s what can get in the way:
🧠 Forgetting what you heard (Ebbinghaus, 1885)
⏳ Delaying action because there’s “plenty of time” (Parkinson, 1955)
🚫 Rewatching but not applying (Roediger and Karpicke, 2006)
📆 Not spacing out your practice (Cepeda et al., 2006)
🌀 Letting old habits override new insights (Piaget and Vygotsky)
😔 Doubting yourself if it doesn’t work right away (Bandura, 1977)
📚 Getting overwhelmed with too much at once (Sweller, 1988)
This class is designed to teach you what’s really happening, and why.
But learning theory alone isn’t enough.You also need to know how to apply it.
And there’s no way all of that can happen in just one 5-hour class session.
So we’ve built in after-class support to guide you, step by step, as you start putting what you’ve learned into action.
To help you retain the theory, you’ll get:
✔ 7 Day Replay Access
✔ A Workbook That Becomes Your Go-To Theory Reference
To help you apply what you’ve learned, you’ll also get:
✔ Weekly After Class Activities
✔ Access to Our Private Community for Questions & Troubleshooting
✔ Group Education & Activity Prompts
✔ Encouragement While You Practice
This class isn’t just about taking in information.
It’s about making the transfer from “I get it” to “I can do it.”
We’re here to walk with you through that part,
because growth takes time, and implementation needs support.

“I've been following Colors With Chemistry for 3 years! My addiction to her education started with following her on IG religiously, last year I took 2 of the pre-recorded courses and this year I have taken 2 of her classes, "Foundations of Color Theory" and "Chemistry of Color". With these two classes I've been able to really look at the way I approach coloring and even my consultations with my guests. I feel more confident and in charge of what work I'm putting out there because of the knowledge I was able to learn in these classes. I highly recommend if you want to elevate your career and understanding of color, bless your life, enroll in Colors With Chemistry classes.”
