Launch Series: The Foil Lab

Placement. Precision. Flow.

Beautiful blondes start with beautiful foils.

Whether you're creating face framing highlights, dimensional colour, classic blondes or lived in blonding services, strong foiling skills remain one of the most valuable technical foundations a colourist can develop.

This practical workshop focuses on improving foil placement, sectioning, consistency and efficiency, helping learners create cleaner results while building confidence behind the chair.

The day begins with a practical colour theory refresher, helping participants better understand lift, underlying pigment, formulation and toner selection before moving into placement and application techniques.

By understanding not just how to place foils, but why certain patterns and formulations create specific results, participants leave with greater confidence making colour decisions in the salon.

Perfect for stylists wanting cleaner placement, stronger blonding results and more confidence with modern foil work.

• Apprentices wanting to strengthen their foiling confidence
• Qualified stylists wanting to refine foil placement and consistency
• Hairdressers wanting to improve speed and efficiency
• Stylists wanting greater confidence with blonding services
