Welcome to the class that will transform how you see, think, and formulate colour. Led by Jaime Marie, L’Oréal Portfolio Artist and advanced colour educator, this half-day session is the essential foundation for stylists looking to elevate their formulation skills beyond guesswork.

This is where real confidence begins: understanding the science, reading the canvas, and crafting intentional colour outcomes that work with the hair, not against it.

Whether you’re a seasoned colourist or a stylist ready to deepen your craft, this class bridges the gap between theory and real-world formulation.
