Hair Colour Analysis Course

Franchise-free Hair Colour Analysis Course for Image Consultants. Learn how to apply colour analysis to your client’s hair and provide professional advice on the correct hair colour in your colour consultations.

Franchise-free Hair Colour Analysis Course for Image Consultants. Learn how to apply colour analysis to your client’s hair and provide professional advice on the correct hair colour in your colour consultations.

With so many clients colouring their hair these days, hair colour analysis is a challenge for many image consultants. It’s not easy to advise clients on the correct colour for their hair when you don’t truly understand the world of the professional hair colourist. That’s exactly what you’ll learn on this course.

Who is this training course for?

  • Image consultants who want to learn about hair colour
  • Hairdressers, hair colourists, hair salon owners who want to learn about colour analysis
  • Anyone who wants expert, insider secrets on how to create better-looking hair

Just getting started?

This advanced course assumes you already understand the fundamentals of colour analysis so if you haven’t already studied colour analysis, I recommend you complete Colour Analysis Training in a Box or the Fabulous Colour Analysis Course first. Alternatively, if professional-level training isn’t your thing, the Colour Analysis Explained course will be just what you need.

In this Hair Colour Analysis Course learn how to give your clients truly expert advice on their hair colour to complement her colour analysis for clothes, accessories & make-up.

Discover easy-to-apply solutions for their hair colour issues. I’m sharing insider secrets from the hair industry, from my work with Wella UK and other top hair colour experts and professionals.

This will enable you to provide hair colour analysis services, either separately or included with your colour consultations, and to create promotional talks and run paid-for hair colour small group workshops.

How to speak ‘hair’

This course isn’t going to teach you how to become a hair colourist, but you do need to understand the language and skills of the professional hair colourist, and how to communicate with them.

After all, you both have a mutual client who could benefit enormously if the two worlds of the image consultant and hair colourist actually learned to talk each other’s language.

Take the stress out of those awkward hair colour questions and learn how to diagnose your client’s hair colour direction to complement her colour analysis.

You’ll understand how to give your clients truly expert advice on their hair colour with easy-to-apply solutions for their hair colour issues.

You can choose whether to include this in your existing colour consultations and workshops for added value, or whether to offer your clients an extra paid-for session.

I share with you insider secrets from the hair industry, learned from my own work with top hair colour experts and professionals and from training the Master Colour Expert Trainers at Wella UK.

Hair Colour Analysis Course Notes

I asked some of my VIP consultants what they would like to learn about hair colour and they told me:

  • how to choose the right hair colour to complement your client’s tonal and seasonal colouring
  • how to help ladies who have coloured their hair for so long they have no idea what colour it would naturally be
  • how to deal with ‘warm’ clients who have gone grey
  • understanding the hair industry’s colour coding system
  • whether going grey necessitates a change of season
  • how to approach the ‘sticky’ subject of hair with your client
  • how to deal with clients who have gone grey and don’t want to colour their hair
  • how to confidently run an expert hair colour consultation

Take the stress out of those awkward hair colour questions and learn how to diagnose your client’s hair colour direction to complement her colour analysis for clothes and make-up.

This is so valuable and a great tool to have in your ‘tool box’.. ladies love to talk about their hair.. because most of the time it’s something they struggle with .. I very often dip into this … A good few years ago we sat at Kim’s and bombarded Scott with questions. I would really urge consultants who do colour / style or both to get this .. it is so valuable to the business we are in. It’s also a stand-alone workshop and really gets ladies talking.. Well worth investing in, even as a feeder for further business.

My Mom is so excited. She’s a Winter and I realized she’s had her hair frosted the wrong shade of blonde for years.

As a former hairdresser, I would heartily recommend the ebook ‘An Introduction to Hair in relation to image’ to you all, it’s packed with knowledge and sound advice. I just wish all hairdressers were made to read it and do Kim’s Fabulous Hair Colour Analysis Course, it’d do them a world of good.
