Formulation of hair color made simple

I also worked on the main line!!!

Thank you for this. Love this! I stopped doing hair bc I felt anxiety about formulating color.

First time catching your video, very helpful, thank you! I'd be interested in your book. Additionally, my conflict comes in when I have someone who has 3 inches of gray, with various shades of level 6 on remaining hair, How would or would you need to fill the gray and in using your formula to achieve target shade say of a 6 how what number would you take from your 6x2=12, 12 - ..... what to achieve desired result? Thank you,

I just found your page!! I’m from Canada and in hair school right now and I’m having a very hard time understanding colour and how and what to do to get to a different level and what to use and when..even tho I’m in class and paying attention I don’t seem to understand it ...I would love to connect with you and continue to watch your videos to try and understand colour more.

Thank you for this! Love how you educate. I also had quit hair because color just didn’t click for me. I stopped for 5 years but I’m back and I will not be defeated. It’s starting to click now thankfully to people like you. I guess where I’m still lost is knowing how much of this and how much of that to add to formula. I’ve got the underlying pigment part down just not sure how much I need to add of ash, gold, blue etc. I get you want to either enhance or eliminate but that’s where I’m at...

I have just listened and would very much like to buy this course/book
Thank you

were talking permanente color right?

LOL the spanx of hair color...you are a true Pennsylvanian lol I love you

this stuff is invaluable information that cos does not teach....im shocked that you dont have more views/likes. Thank you

Yes i agree !! People want lots of services when it comes to colors and bleaches and want to pay so so cheap when us hairdressers can not and should not be given anything for cheap or add ons for free 🤔i used to suffer so much with this til i posted my prices depending on the lenght of the hair and each client pays different prices ..i find this to be fair

Where can I find your book Elaine? Love your analogies and no nonsense approach to color theory!

Great information Elaine, thank you! Totally agree we need respect and more learning..thank you again for your honesty help..

Thank YOU SO SO MUCH , I attend Paul Mitchell the school of Houston and it’s sad that I got so much information and LEARNED so much from this 1 video . They don’t got into detail the way you do they pretty much show us a color wheel and tell us go across the color wheel to neutralize and that’s it. Again Thank you so much 🤍

This was amazing I am so glad I found you on Facebook. You have taught me so much in so little time. I can’t wait to learn more with you

Your amazing, I thank God I found you, I’m so grateful,? I’m an amazing hairstylist, but coloring is something I haven’t been knowledgeable, if I get this I’m a high roller!!!!

Thank you 😊 💓

Totally fascinating!

You couldn’t have explained everything any better!!! Thank you for such a detailed video I love learning all that I can as a cosmetologist!!!!

What is the name of your book on Amazon?😁

So I may be wrong but if I have a level 6 who wants a level 9
9x2=18
18-6=12
12n for my 6 n with 20 or 30 and I'll get 9n?

Hey how can i get my natural grey blonde?

Where are you in Florida ?

Elaine you are so right! Love your channel.

I found your channel I really like it. Thank you so much for explain about the color. I have a question for you, how to lightening the color from level 1 to level 5?

You are litterally amazing... Ive learnt more in watching a few videos than my years of hairdressing school... Our qualifications litterally mean nothing!!! Youve made me understand so much in my career that ive been lost in and unconfident in for years... THANKYOU 🙏

Amazing information, so I have a quick question. If lets pretend I have a scenario where the client is level and wants to be a level 7, but if you a use a tube of level 9 color with 20 volume, how can I expect the grey's to be covered and neutralize the warmth when using a level 9 tube of color? Unless I am missing something thank you for your time!

I agree with the prices!!! We all need to be on track on that! Thank you for this information on color is very helpful!

Elaine.. I am a computer illiterate so please help me. First, I have been searching for color ed. that I could trust and understand. I am a hairdresser who has worked in salons (even my own ) for over 40 years where you either colored hair or cut hair. Now, semi-retired, I discovered a fascination for color and after much research, I have chosen you. I too have been an on-stage performing educator @ IBS and many others. I have already purchased your book, yesterday, and am anxiously anticipating all the discoveries it will bring. How do I access the presentation you have offered. How do I find the link? I look forward to studying color with you. You sure have a lot of loyal fans. Respectfully,

Love the way you take time to explain..😁❤🧜‍♀️

I graduated cosmetology in May and I agree we didn’t learn much on color either, we mainly did the same stuff all of the time and I only learn of color in my 4th semester

Soon to be cosmo graduate and you’re a blessing!! Thank you!

Thank you I’m so glad I found you. I’ve been concentrating on cut and style the last eight years out of school and now after years of assisting and gaining experience I am on a chair. My current salon has presented the opportunity to pursue color so I decided to do it. You are making a lot of sense to me so I’m going to watch all your vids and I ordered your book. I also wanted to ask where you purchase the swatches?

I've just graduated from school myself this may and became Licensed and I. Struggling with understanding color myself I'm question my career path as well

Amen girl!!!!

I'm so grateful for this. I've just started school, second career, have ALWAYS wanted to do hair. This is invaluable!!!!!!! Thank you so much

If my kirayat he wants color marron hw am I do

I am in florida too and it’s crazy I love your videos glad I found you today

I’ve been doing hair for 12 years and this is the best formulation explanation I have ever heard. Lightening with color has always terrified me…I feel much more confident right now!!! Plus the analogies are on point!!! 😂

Do you ever use Wella color? Would love to know your thoughts.

What is the name of your book.

Same I moved to Florida, the people with long hair, and don't want to pay for it.

What is the name of your book?

Omg! So glad I found you
Getting back to my career after 5 years off I needed a “Back to basics color class”
I graduated BS in 1983. So I get it!!!🥂

It’s still no good! They don’t teach anything except relaxers, basic haircuts no need likes, and roller sets, pin curls and finger waves, and perms! How many people receive the majority of these services these days?

Just bought your book I’m looking to learn color from you;)

Awesome I love your class keep going👌you make so much sense

I’m watching this 4 yrs later but this reminds me of how Redken trained us to formulate color plus we considered underlining pigment when adding or subtracting warmth. They taught us to always use 20 vol & use the color to lift. I have to say though that European colors seems to lift less warm. But I think I’ll play with this. I usually do every root touch with 20 or 10 developer & add ash to counter warmth if needed.

Yes Beth Minardi. She was the Redken educator.

Thank you so much!!

When lightening from a natural level 3 to a level 6 orange undertone why is it whenn I apply the permenant ash level 6 colour it still pulls warm/orangey rather than a very ashy brown? Why does this keep happening? I even used Redken chromatic 6Ab straight in top of the lifted orange and it still has orange showing Please help.
Thank you.

Wow!
