🚨Code Red: Foundations of Red & Copper Hair Colouring
Wave buh-bye to Root Glow!
A LIVE ONLINE CLASS FOR HAIRDRESSERS

Terrified that your next client is going to request red hair?
Not anymore.
You want to attract more dream colour clients to your salon, but redheads keep throwing you off your game. Before you give up on your dream of becoming a Hair Colour Specialist and decide that reds are just too f*cking hard, I’m here to tell you: it’s not your fault.
You were never taught the difference between formulating reds and coppers versus blondes and brunettes.
Reds are challenging. Right now, you’re guessing what to do—and it’s costing you time, money, and confidence.
The truth is, creating consistent redhead results starts with having a simplified colour palette that’s specific to red and copper requests in the salon.
Get inspired to paint reds again and start formulating fearlessly for every red and copper colour request. That’s exactly what I’m going to help you do in my 3-hour Livestream Masterclass with Q+A.

MEET YOUR TEACHER
Kristina Russell
Hi there! My name is Kristina Russell,
and I'm a Hair Colour Specialist, Redhead Expert, Global Educator, and Podcast Host—but most importantly, a Colour Lover at heart.
I’m a brand-free Hair Colour Educator delivering unbiased, foundational education that works no matter what brand you use. I know how challenging working with red and copper hair can be because nobody taught me how to do it confidently. I learned through trial and error in the salon—trust me, I was the Redo Request Queen for a while before I became the Queen of Reds. I get it, red hair is tricky!
Not anymore.
So many Redhead clients (or those dying to be one) have sat in my salon chair because no other Hairdresser could get their hair right. This inspired me. I tested lots of formulas in the process of creating my world-renowned 5-6-7-8 Level Up System for hair painting redheads.
Thousands of hairdressers have transformed their relationship with red hair using my 5-6-7-8 Level Up System for Hair Painting Redheads. My mission is to help you confidently master reds and coppers, with creative, practical strategies you can apply in your salon right away.
