How CWC Got Started

Julie Kleine, founder of Colors With Chemistry

Lost our jobs, had two young girls to care for, and the financial pressure was building. Training in hair started to look pretty good. Jumped in at 38, desperately trying to learn what I needed to know. Couldn’t find the education I needed anywhere. Found myself frustrated and needing to understand hair color at a much deeper level.

Hair Color Education That Works With ANY Color Brand

Because when you understand what’s happening, you’re not tied to someone else’s formulas or one color line.

Colors With Chemistry class

At Colors With Chemistry, we teach the principles underneath hair color, then help you connect them to the decisions you make when you formulate.

You’ll learn color theory, hair color chemistry, how to decipher what’s inside your own tubes, and how the hair fiber, starting canvas and target all work together.

Stylists join us with all levels of experience. Some are building their understanding from the beginning. Others already know a lot, but still have missing pieces or pieces they’ve never been taught how to connect.

Tools like our CWC Directional Color Mapping System™ give you a visual way to choose your tones, predict where your formula is likely to land, and adjust it before you apply it to the hair.

Because once you understand the principles and can see how the pieces interact, you can apply that thinking to any color line you work with.

Our classes are built in three main learning phases. Learn about the phases HERE .

About Colors With Chemistry

Hair Color Education

We know stylists aren’t struggling because they haven’t tried learning. Most learned hair color in scattered pieces. Some pieces are missing, and the pieces they do have may never have been connected. CWC was built to change that.

Classes That Bring Learning To Life

No matter where you are, you'll feel like you're right in the room with us.

"Class was so informative and engaging we hardly felt like we were on Zoom! We dug into color theory, learned new ways to formulate, and stayed active the whole time." — Gina S.

Through visuals, demonstrations and activities, you don’t just hear about color concepts. You get to see them, work with them and begin making sense of how they apply when you formulate.
