You will learn my highly requested blonding method which is a balanced & lived-in bright blonde. This consists of bright ends, a bright money piece & the perfect balance of blonde/dimension at the root. This combination will keep your blonde clients more than satisfied, coming back and referring all their blondie friends to you! I have always loved blonding--probably because I am a bright blonde addict myself. But because of my love for blonding I am always striving for the best techniques to get the most brightness without having to spend all day on one client. I have developed and perfected my blonding method that can easily be done in the salon in under 4 hours on a client without an assistant. This will be an intimate class consiting of a live blonding demo from start to finish followed by social media tips/coaching, and a Q&A. Come prepared with any questions! I encourage you all to get involved and ask all the questions throughout the day as well. Nothing is off limits! Lunch, refreshments and goodie bags are provided. I am looking forward to meeting each one of you! XO, Micah Information Source: Micah Beasley (@manesbymicah) | eventbrite
