Meet Julie Kleine
Owner & Educator of Colors With Chemistry
It’s very common for stylists to be taught formulas and told what to use, but not get the full foundation they need to feel confident making their own formulating decisions.
Julie knew that gap herself. When she trained to become a hairdresser at 38, she had the same questions that formulas and brand education weren’t answering, so she went looking for the missing pieces.
She learned from cosmetic chemists and international color theory educators, while building years of experience behind the chair and inside brand education as a national trainer.
Through CWC, she’s taught stylists and industry professionals in more than 39 countries, from stylists just starting out to those with decades behind the chair, along with brand educators, corporate teams, sales teams, and color line owners.
Understanding how people learn
When she started teaching independently, Julie saw that even really good information wasn’t enough. A stylist could understand what was being taught, love it, and still go back to the salon and fall into the same doubt when the client was sitting in front of them.
So Julie went deeper again, this time into Learning & Development, where she continues to train with educators in the professional development field.
She wanted to understand how people actually learn, retain information, practice new skills, and what it takes for learning to change what someone is able to do.
Bringing those pieces together
Julie brings together color theory, hair chemistry, years behind the chair, experience inside brand education, and training in professional Learning & Development.
The goal is to help stylists connect those pieces into a fuller understanding they can actually use to build their own color thinking and feel more confident making decisions behind their chairs.
Meet Alisha LaShun
CWC Hair Color Educator
With over 25 years of experience behind the chair, Alisha quickly realized that artistry alone wasn’t enough. She wanted to know why.
Why does this technique work on one canvas but not another? Why do certain formulas succeed or fail depending on the hair? That curiosity sparked a lifelong journey into the science behind the art.
Through years of work behind the chair and continued learning, Alisha has supported guests and shared what she’s learned with fellow stylists. She’s not done learning, and she’s not keeping what she’s learned to herself.
For Alisha, teaching is about sharing the deeper understanding that helps stylists work through the challenges they face. Passing on knowledge, resources, and experience to other creatives is what drives her.
Let’s go get these wins...together!
