Become a Colour Master: Redefining Colour Education with a UK Tour
In a world where hair colour education is often dominated by brand-specific agendas, Sarah Spiers stands out as a trailblazer. With over three decades of experience in some of the UK’s leading salons, the renowned colour specialist and founder of Chaulk Education is embarking on an ambitious mission: to transform the way hair professionals think about colour.
Sarah’s groundbreaking “Become a Colour Master” course is set to tour the UK in 2025, bringing her unique brand-neutral philosophy and innovative teaching methods to stylists across six cities, including Guernsey, London, and Glasgow. Her approach strips away the fluff and commercial bias, replacing it with a science-first methodology that empowers stylists to master colour on their own terms.
A Masterclass in Colour Science
At the heart of Sarah’s two-day immersive course is what she calls “The Science of Colour.” Stylists delve into the core principles of colour theory, hair structure, and chemistry, exploring topics like peroxide reactions, pigment composition, and the physics of light and colour perception.
One of the course’s standout features is its brand-neutral stance. Sarah believes that true colour mastery transcends the limitations of product-based training. “Colour is colour,” she says. “When you truly understand the theory, you can confidently use any product, in any salon, without being tied to a specific brand. This is about giving stylists full creative freedom.”
Spaces for Creativity and Exploration
Eschewing traditional salon settings, each course takes place in inspiring, light-filled photography studios designed to spark curiosity and creativity. Day one focuses on hair analysis, texture science, and formulation chemistry, while the evening offers a calming movement and mindset session, led by Maxine from The Max Effect, to prepare attendees for an intensive second day.
Day two dives deeper into colour perception, exploring how we see and describe colour, and breaks down pigment families used across brands. Attendees also experiment hands-on with tools like the YUV Colour Lab—a unique station for formulating and testing creative colour mixes.
Collaboration Meets Confidence
Adding depth to the learning experience, Sarah collaborates with experts like mindset coach Cristina Fazzone and professional photographers. Together, they help stylists build confidence, refine their techniques, and bridge the gap between artistic expression and digital storytelling. Youth Lab representatives also contribute, simplifying complex colour science concepts into accessible, practical insights.
Empowering Stylists Through Knowledge
Sarah’s mission goes beyond education—she’s redefining what it means to be a colourist. By shifting the focus from brand loyalty to universal principles, “Become a Colour Master” equips stylists to unlock their full creative potential. As Sarah puts it, “My job is to help people become fluent in their own colour language.”
Don’t miss the chance to be part of this industry-shaping movement. The UK tour spans six cities throughout 2025, including Manchester, Cardiff, and Jersey. To learn more or secure your spot, visit Chaulk Education’s website today.
