Who is the ideal student?
Qualified hairdressers looking to build their skills, gain more confidence and understand colour trends to adapt in their own way.
Course Description:
Unlock your creativity and elevate your colour game with this dynamic course. Marlon’s philosophy is simple: no two people are the same, and neither should their hair colour be. This isn't about following rigid techniques; it's about learning to assess and tailor every colour application to fit the individual in your chair.
Rather than focusing on a set of predefined methods, you'll master the art of customising your approach for every client—whether blonde, brunette, or something in between. You'll learn how to confidently blend global, balayage, and highlight techniques into unique, personalised results that keep your clients coming back for more.
The course combines live demos with hands-on practice, creating a relaxed and interactive learning environment where you can ask questions, share ideas, and refine your skills. You’ll gain practical experience through various model scenarios, including bespoke twists on:
- Global (all over tint)
- Glazes
- Highlighting techniques
- Freehand colour applications
- Mixing and layering techniques for depth and dimension
By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to create multi-dimensional, high-end colours that are both simple and stunning. Walk away with newfound confidence and inspiration to reimagine your colour work, making each client experience as unique as the individual in your chair.
