WHAT TO EXPECT

This full day workshop is centred around the Art of Freehand Painting - breaking down the techniques behind achieving beautifully bright blondes and soft, dimensional brunettes.

"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

Created for colourists who want to refine their craft, expand their creative thinking and bring something fresh back to the salon floor, FREEHAND EDIT will challenge you to step outside of the everyday, connect with like-minded creatives and learn from one another in an open, welcoming environment (with a world class view!)

THE EXPERIENCE

We're setting the tone from the moment you arrive, with champagne, gimlets and plenty of time to connect with Monique, Crystal and the whole room before we dive into our hand-painting education.

The girls will showcase their unique freehand techniques with a series of live demos where they'll walk through their signature methods, products and thought processes.

Relaxed, social and full of meaningful one-on-one conversations and practical knowledge you can put to work behind the chair, FREEHAND EDIT is your opportunity to introduce hand-painting to your salon menu, refine your existing balayage skills or finally understand how to bring that lightness and dimension you've been dreaming of.

WHAT YOU'LL TAKEAWAY

  • Freehand techniques, broken down | Discover the products to use, why they work and how to approach freehand painting to achieve brighter blondes, beautiful dimension and seamless finishes.

  • Monique's essential freehand toolkit | Learn the key tools, techniques and considerations Monique relies on to create the elegant freehand results that have sent her viral

  • Crystal's Balayage Blueprint | Explore Crystal's bold approach to balayage, gaining insight into her process and the techniques behind her results.

  • Connection beyond the chair | Build relationships with the real people in the room, share experiences in real time and have the conversations that don't always happen during a busy salon week, the good, the bad and the ugly.

  • Open conversations and fresh perspectives | Through informal discussions and shared ideas, explore what's happening on the salon floor today, learn from each other's experiences and find inspiration to bring something new to your clients and your brand.

PLUS your own Q-Wrap balayage wrap to take home, along with a thoughtfully curated gift bag from our trusted brand partners.

The Sydney Social is MORE THAN JUST AN EDUCATION DAY - this is your opportunity to step outside the salon, connect with the room, challenge your thinking and invest in your creativity.
