Colour Kristina Talks Podcast for Hairdressers

Copper will always be trending, whether we call it Kendall Copper, Cowgirl Copper or Pumpkin Spice, it's a classic colour that all Hairdressers must know how to do. You can not simply have one tube of colour you mix up for every Copper request because there are so many variations that range from brownish caramels to vibrant orange and everything in between.

Cowgirl Copper, also known as Red Copper or Rusty Red, draws its inspiration from the American West. What sets it apart is the balance between fiery red and natural copper hues, creating a mesmerising, multidimensional effect that's both vibrant and wearable.

Cowgirl Copper is the hottest colour trend of the moment & it's a heck of a lot spicier than Caramel.

I love this trend within the red hair colour spectrum because it's luring more and more brunettes to try something new. They're stepping away from the ash balayage requests and feeling brave to get a warm glow-up. Yay! Finally!

In this podcast, I made an exciting announcement!

I'm hosting a LIVE Online FREE Masterclass for Hairdressers and Salon Owners to learn How To Achieve Copper Hair Colour without Red or Root Glow. For the first time, I'm including 3 epic bonus lessons that are shared as a series in the leadup to the main event in just over a week.

As a hairdresser, I understand there's a lot of misleading or contradictory information about hair colour formulations. It's time to stop sacrificing brightness and tone with fashion colours for grey coverage and vice versa.

It's also time to stop blaming the brand you use.

In this podcast episode, I'll share the Secret why choosing Gold instead of a Natural Base is not your best option for Fashion colour Grey Coverage, including Redheads!

To achieve consistent and predictable grey coverage results, always opt for 'N' in grey coverage, including for Redheads! 'N' is more predictable than using 'G'. Most 'N' series already contain Gold, so in fact, you're already using some Gold when you opt for this.

If you have a Redhead grey coverage request and choose to use 'Gold' you might get grey coverage. You might also get Root Glow. You will definitely get more Gold than desirable and probably end up needing to correct it with toners. Don't do it! Gold is a "NO" from me. Whatever the percentage of grey your client has is the percentage of 'Natural' or Base colour you will need to cover their greys successfully.

Trust me. That works. I've built my wildly successful haircolour business by becoming the go-to girl when Redheads find their first grey.

Ever felt the weight of the world on your shoulders? As hairdressers, we often give so much of ourselves to our clients that we forget to replenish our own spirits.

It's time to wave goodbye to burnout, anxiety and those limiting beliefs!

There's a powerful technique that's been quietly revolutionising the beauty and wellness industry: Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping. As hairdressers, we know that our chairs often become confessional booths, with clients sharing their innermost thoughts and emotions. This can be really challenging for hairdressers to navigate, especially when you have your own emotional shit to deal with.

I'm talking with Australian hairdresser and educator, Danny Lent, about working through limited beliefs and becoming fearlessly authentic using EFT Tapping.

What if we told you that EFT can help you become more confident and grounded in and outside your salon?

In this podcast episode, we're diving into a fascinating topic that's all about transforming not just hair, but also your state of mind.

So, whether you're snipping, styling, or coloring, get ready to tap into a new realm of holistic well-being that could revolutionize the way you approach both your craft and your life.

Listen to learn how to tap away anxiety and how healing can be F-U-N!!
