3 Keys to Understanding Haircolor

Between Two Chairs is a foundational hair color course created for newly licensed hairdressers who want to stop guessing and start understanding haircolor with confidence.

This course teaches the universal principles of haircolor — principles that apply to every professional color line, in every salon, at every stage of your career.

It is not brand training.
It is color literacy.

Why This Course Exists

Many new stylists leave school knowing terms, but not truly understanding:

  • why hair lifts the way it does

  • how tone actually works

  • how to formulate with confidence

  • how to explain results to clients

That gap shows up fast — in the consultation chair, at the color bowl, and when results don’t match expectations.

Between Two Chairs was created to bridge that gap.

What You’ll Learn: The 3 Keys

Key 1: Level (Depth)

Learn how the level system truly works, how natural pigment affects lift, and why most color mistakes begin with misunderstanding depth — not tone.

Key 2: Tone (Underlying Pigment)

Understand warm, cool, and neutral tones, how underlying pigment influences final results, and how to correct unwanted warmth without over-toning or panic.

Key 3: Formulation (Control)

Learn how developer strength, porosity, texture, and processing time work together so you can create predictable, repeatable color results — regardless of the brand you use.

Who This Course Is For

  • Newly licensed hairdressers

  • Assistants preparing to take clients

  • Stylists switching color lines

  • Graduates who feel book-smart but not chair-ready

If you want to feel confident explaining your choices to clients — not just following formulas — this course is for you.

What Makes This Course Different

Most hair color education is:

  • brand-specific

  • rule-heavy

  • overwhelming for beginners

Between Two Chairs focuses on:

  • how to think, not memorize

  • how to assess, not guess

  • how to adapt, not depend on one system

These are fundamentals you will use for your entire career.

The Outcome

By the end of this course, you will:

  • understand why hair behaves the way it does

  • formulate with more confidence

  • communicate more clearly with clients

  • rely less on guesswork and more on knowledge

If you understand level, tone, and formulation, you can work with any color line — and stand confidently behind your results.
