The Business of Color Correction with Gina Bianca

An end-of-year color correction experience: real stories, real pricing, lunch, prizes, and a workbook you’ll use for years. Farewell to the Brick Walls: Our Final Class in the Original Network Salon This is the very last class we’ll ever teach in our original space before we move into our new home. So many stylists have learned, cried, laughed, and leveled up within these brick walls, and I want to close this chapter with one more unforgettable day. Title: The Business of Color Correction, an End-of-Year Experience with Gina Bianca Summary: An end-of-year color correction experience: real stories, real pricing, lunch, prizes, and a workbook you'll use for years. Date & time: Monday, December 7, 2026 · 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM Location: The Network Salon, 409 Canal Street, Southington, CT 06479 Description: Color corrections are the most stressful, exhausting, and underpriced services in our industry, and almost nobody teaches you how to run them like a business. So let's end the year the right way: together, honestly, with good food and a lot of laughs. This isn't a sit-and-listen class. It's an experience. You'll get a workbook packed with real color corrections from my chair: black box dye to blonde, box dye to silver, and a two-hour road trip client with a head full of curls and pitch-black box dye. We'll read the stories out loud together, stop at every decision point, and your table will vote on what you think I did. Then you'll find out what actually happened: what I booked, what I charged, where it went sideways, and what I'd do differently. No highlight reels. No "perfect" after photos. Just salon reality. You'll walk away with: • Your own hourly rate, calculated on the spot, that covers product, payroll, expenses, AND profit • A consultation game plan that sets expectations before anyone sits in your chair • How to book corrections the right way: time minimums, deposits, buffers, and one correction a day • Plan A, B, and C, and how to pivot without losing the client's trust • What actually counts as a correction (spoiler: box dye always does) • The boundaries and endurance it takes to do these services without burning out • A workbook with every case study, formula, and worksheet to keep studying after The experience: • ☕ Coffee Cart! • 🥗 Lunch is included • 🤫 The Confessions Wall: anonymously share your worst correction story… I'll be reading the best ones out loud • 🏆 Prizes & Raffle • 📸 A photo moment to close out the year • 🎁 Your workbook and a swag bag to take home Schedule: 10:00: Arrival, drinks + Confessions Wall 10:20: What counts as a correction? 10:40: Case Study 1: “Just No Orange, Please” 11:20: Pricing Workshop: find your real hourly rate 11:50: Brunch + Confessions read aloud 12:25: Case Study 2: The Refund Question 1:00: Case Study 3: The Road Trip + consultation role-play 1:40: Boundaries, awards, raffle + toast 2:00: Wrap Who it's for: Stylists at every level and salon owners.

"THIS video hands down is the best example of the TRUTH… So many influential artists are NOT being honest about the steps."
