AS A COLOURIST,

WITH L’ORÉAL
PROFESSIONNEL
THE COURSE
As a colourist, you’re already passionate
about what you do, but L’Oréal Professionnel
believes in harnessing your passion and drive
to bring out the very best in you. It’s why the
brand goes one step further, starting with Colour
Specialist. Graduates of the course are part
of an elite who have an unparalleled knowledge
of colour. Paul Dennison, Skyler McDonald, Alan
Edwards and Sophia Hilton are just some of the highprofile
names that have graduated to become Colour
Specialists – and you could be next! The course lasts 15 days,
ends with a final examination and costs £3,350. While this
might seem pricey, you get a lot of bang for your buck and
it is the key to unlocking your career as a colourist. Once
completed, Colour Specialist graduates attend an evening of
celebration and recognition at a Colour Specialist ceremony
held at Central Saint Martins in London.
“WITH MY BRIGHT HAIR AND ‘CRAZY’ SALON, PEOPLE
THINK I MIGHT BE A VERY ‘OFF THE WALL’ CREATIVE
PERSON. BUT I’M NOT. I’M MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT
TECHNICAL WORK, THE SCIENCE, THE THEORY. I
SPENT THE FIRST FIVE YEARS OF MY CAREER WINGING
IT WITH COLOUR AND I COULDN’T COPE WITH THAT
SICK FEELING A MOMENT LONGER. YOU HAVE TO BE A
COLOUR SPECIALIST FOR YOUR OWN SANITY. DON’T
MAKE YOUR DAYS HARDER
THAN THEY NEED TO BE”
