An Education in Organic.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or just out of college, education is important for continued growth and success. Hairdressers now have a variety of training options at their fingertips from online tutorials to YouTube. Due to advances in technology and advances in social media there is a huge opportunity for furthering education in the hair industry. No matter what medium you choose, the important thing is that you continue to learn.

We recognise the importance of online education and have an expanding online community of stylists that feature education, business tips and creative content which acts as a hub for any stylist using the System.

We also have a comprehensive education programme consisting of 4 core workshops, The Fundamentals, Resistant Grey, Blondes and Look and Learns, all of which are designed to give Salon Owners and their staff the confidence and the information they need. For over two decades this education programme has helped hundreds of salons worldwide to build a stronger, naturally better business.

The unique green science and methodology sets us apart from competitors and it’s important that stylists know how to use the System of products properly, so that you can get the very best from them in salon. When you attend the workshops, you will learn that we focus on the health and condition of the hair first and foremost. Our experienced Salon Mentors will teach you how to analyse clients’ hair using the ‘Wet Stretch Test’, followed by a lesson in detoxing and pre-treating the hair. All of this before even applying colour! This may feel alien to many to start with, but once you understand why we do things the way we do, and you see the results for yourself, you’ll be questioning why you didn’t always do it this way in the first place! Global Education Manager Cloe Hazell says “The basic training should never be ignored. Although it is great learning new techniques, you still need your colour training. It is like building a house; you never build a house without foundations. It is the same with hair; once you have the foundations and health of the hair, you can get as creative as you like with it!”

Excellent Salon Mentors, knowledgable & passionate!

Why we do what we do.

There’s no one specific reason why so many salons have chosen to use Organic Colour Systems over the past 20 years. Some started their journey because they wanted a healthier salon environment for themselves and their staff, some joined because they wanted to be able to offer a more natural and gentle service to their clients. For others it was an ethical or lifestyle choice and there are those who loved the fact that we offer continuous education. There is no limit on the amount of times a stylist can attend and the environment is welcoming, friendly and creative! It is the perfect place for like-minded and creative stylists to come together to not just learn the green science but also to work on a model and learn from each other. Natalie Lupton UK Salon Mentor says ‘You will learn something new at every workshop because we all have tips and tricks with how we work personally. Our workshops have such a great environment where everyone feels comfortable and safe to ask questions, get creative and learn.’

When it comes to education maybe the point is simply to think of it as a means to an end, like going to the gym to meet your fitness goals. If you stop working out, you’ll gain weight and lose any progress you made. Similarly, beauty professionals who don’t continue to seek out new opportunities for growth will see their skills decline. In the words of Benjamin Franklin ‘An investment in knowledge pays the best interest’.
