Canadian-born, Melbourne-based Crystal Wilson is a colourist and educator with over 15 years of international experience. Having worked in some of the most awarded salons in both countries, she specialises in freehand painting, dimensional blondes and low-maintenance colour. Known for making freehand feel approachable rather than intimidating, she teaches beyond a formula or single look, focusing on the why behind every technique. With her down-to-earth personality, infectious enthusiasm and genuine love for the craft, Crystal brings a refreshing, relatable approach to education. Her goal is to leave stylists feeling inspired, empowered and confident to take what they've learned straight back to the salon.

Globally recognised colourist and educator Monique McMahon is the founder of top Sydney salon, QUE Colour and Q-Wrap balayage films. She boasts a highly celebrated career that spans three incredible decades. Monique’s innate ability to both lead and create, along with her signature enthusiasm and professionalism, make her a colourist like no other.
"We believe the best education goes beyond learning a new technique. It's about the people you meet, the ideas you exchange and the inspiration you carry back into your business." Monique and Crystal

I left Monique's class feeling inspired, encourage and excited to use all her hair tips, and bring the amazing energy I left with back to the salon! Would see her again.
