Earlier this year I took my second Hair Color Magic class. It was the “Bombshell Blondes” segment. I was so excited for this class. Hair Color Magic is a line of AVEDA classes. They are meant to show why we formulate hair color the way we do. I had taken Hair Color Magic: Essentials 1 last year and absolutely loved it.
I was road tripping down to Rocky River, Ohio with two other girls from the salon, Evelyn and Mona. They had both had Jen Rawsky, our educator, before. They raved about her. I could not wait to take her class.
Bombshell Blondes: Part 1
The first half of the class we went over what Hair Color Magic taught. Why we use blue/green instead of blue/violet and exactly how much. This was all a refresher form Hair Color Magic 1. It can be frustrating when you are repeating information. However, I try to look at it as a way to further solidify my knowledge. It makes me be able to instantly know to pick blue/green and it only needs 2 grams instead of 3.
Bombshell Blondes: Recess
We broke for lunch about halfway through the class. Evelyn, Mona, and I went to Penn Station for lunch. I was super excited about it because I had only been there once. But when I had, it was delicious. Walking in and reading their menu, I realized I was going to have a tough time. I recently became a vegetarian in March. Even though they had a vegetarian sandwich, it just wasn’t hearty like a sandwich normally is. I ordered that and fries with their signature lemonade. Mona also shared her cookie with me. If you want the best chocolate chip cookie you will ever eat in your life, go to Penn Station.
Bombshell Blondes: Continued
When we came back I was starting to learn some new stuff. We talked about how to formulate for AVEDA’s high lift tint, and how to create long lasting lowlights in blonde hair. We even made a swatch board! It was a great class per usual from Hair Color Magic. I would highly recommend any AVEDA colorist to take these classes. My favorite part about taking classes is how inspired and excited I am when I leave. I can never wait to get back into the salon and try the things I’ve learned!
Until Next Time,
