This bundle is for you if…
You want to understand why a toner can go flat & what you can adjust.
You want to see how the brown or grey background in your color affects the result.
You want to understand why one color takes over, even when you use equal parts.
You want to know how changing your tones, levels & amounts can help you hit your color target.
We’ll work through these ideas with paint, changing one thing at a time so you can see what happens. Then we connect what you notice to the color choices you make when you formulate.

Why we made this bundle
Too many stylists are asked to choose tone without enough color mixing theory to understand what’s happening.
You’ll learn how the tones in your tubes mix with the remaining color, so you can think through the deposit choice for yourself.
What you’ll learn in this phase
See how combining tones changes the color you get.
See the hue & background in a color, beyond the label on the tube.
Understand how brown or grey background affects the tone you’re creating.
See how changing the level or ratios of each tone changes your result.
Use the wheel to see whether your chosen tones can create your color target.
The goal
To stop relying only on tube names or borrowed formulas and start learning how to think through the tone choice for yourself.
What’s inside your Choosing Your Tone Bundle

"I was taught to look for the missing primary color when I wanted to counteract the unwanted color. But counteracting the unwanted color was neutralizing and muddying the color not leaving any warmth. So many nuggets of knowledge!!"
