A Hybrid Approach to Hand-Painted Dimension

Live model class for stylists ready to move beyond repetitive foil patterns and confidently combine foils & painting for dimensional color This class is for the stylist who sees beautiful hand-painted dimension on Instagram and thinks, “I love it… but I don’t know how to actually execute it behind the chair.” It’s also for the stylist who is burnt out doing the same foil placement, the same pattern, and the same formulas—just changing the number of highlights and lowlights. Using a live model, I’ll demonstrate how I combine foils and hand painting in one service, how I make placement decisions in real time, and how I approach the hair in front of me instead of following a predetermined pattern. You’ll see the techniques you see on my Instagram translated onto real hair, while learning how to confidently communicate this approach to your clients and bring more creativity into your own work behind the chair. This isn’t about throwing away your foils. It’s about learning when to use them—and when to paint. Less repetition. More creativity. More possibilities for dimension.
