THE ART OF SUNKISSED HAIR

VIRTUAL WORKSHOPS

THE ART OF SUNKISSED HAIR is going virtual! Join Kara on Zoom while you experience a private, hands-on Balayage workshop. Kara’s signature “Santa Barbara Balayage” technique was created with a combination of the knowledge of the laws of natural hair color and her own Artistic Intuition, which is what she shares in her workshops. The focus is on brushstroke techniques and skills. Unlike most hands-on classes that just teach a certain color pattern that you are supposed to memorize and use from client to client, Kara will give you the tools to imagine and paint looks that are completely unique to your own artistic style and to the look of your client in your chair.

These virtual workshops were created to be just as engaging and interactive as in-person workshops, which is why they are limited to 10 people per class. Imagine spending a day enriching your knowledge of Balayage, honing your skills, and building confidence in your painting techniques, all from the coziness of your own home or salon. This is a great opportunity for salon teams to get together and enjoy a day of education…something to feel somewhat normal during this crazy year!

VIRTUAL WORKSHOP ITINERARY:

11AM: INTRO & SUNKISSED COLOR THEORY

We will have chance to connect before class, and share our questions, struggles, and any other thoughts before we start the class. Just like Kara’s in-person workshops, she always wants to create a space that everyone feels free to share and be seen.

Kara will teach her signature “Santa Barbara Balayage” technique on a live model. We will go into more detail on the laws of natural hair color, Balayage placement, detailing and brush strokes, as well as answer any of your questions as we go along. Again, this is a safe space to learn, so questions and engagement are encouraged!
