War Stories & Battle Scars: Dale Smith Part 1

Every seasoned colorist has them.

The moments that didn’t make it to Instagram.

The failures that taught more than any class ever could.

In Part 1 of War Stories & Battle Scars, I sit down with Dale Smith for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the realities behind the chair. The mistakes, the myths, the turning points, and the lessons that only experience can carve into you.

This isn’t a highlight reel.  It’s a history lesson.

The title War Stories & Battle Scars isn’t metaphorical! It’s literal. This series exists to honor the educators and professionals who earned their knowledge the hard way… through client corrections, chemical surprises, ego checks, and moments that forced growth or failure.

In this first installment, Dale shares powerful educational nuggets, hard truths about learning hair color, and insights that explain why understanding matters more than technique alone. This conversation ran so deep it demanded two parts and you’ll understand why within the first few minutes.

If you’ve ever questioned your journey…If you’ve ever learned more from a mistake than a manual…If you believe mastery is earned, not taught…

Press play.
And don’t miss Part 2.

 Listen now. Share it with someone who’s still fighting their way forward.
