| EP 196: Why Red is NOT the Best Filler (Unless You Want a Red Result) | 22 mai 2025 | 00:25:30 | |
Have you ever filled a blonde before going darker and ended up with unwanted red tones? You're not alone — most hairdressers are taught to fill with red, regardless of the target level. But here's the truth: red is not a universal filler, and using it when it's not needed can lock you into a cycle of toner corrections and dull results. In this episode, I'm breaking down one of the most outdated techniques still taught in beauty school: using red as a default filler. We'll explore: 🎯 Why red lives at level 6 on the lightening scale Plus, I'll walk you through how I approach real in-salon colour corrections using my target-tone filler method, with golds, orange-golds, and neutral browns that match your client's desired outcome. This episode is your reminder to formulate with intention, not habit. It's time to rethink what you were taught and update your colour toolkit for better, brand-free results.

In Episode 188 of the Colour Kristina Talks Podcast, Kristina Russell (@colourkristina) interviews a digital retail expert to help hairdressers, stylists, and salon owners discover how to boost income using affiliate codes. Learn how to sell products online without holding stock, connect clients with the best products, and grow your salon profits.

| EP 186: Achieve Red & Copper Hair without Root Glow | 21 nov. 2024 | 00:37:13 | |
I understand the challenges of creating the perfect red or copper hair colour. I've been there—accidentally creating hot roots and struggling with unpredictable results. Not anymore. My breakthrough came when I revisited my Art School notes and developed a unique approach to Creative Colour Theory. I carefully studied the art period called the Australian Moderns, which saw a collection of artists painting colourful scales, in a similar way musicians read musical scales to play instruments. Today, my world-renowned strategies and techniques have revolutionised how hairdressers achieve consistent, beautiful reds, coppers and strawberry blondes.

| EP 185: Why Losing a Hair Award is Good for Business | 12 nov. 2024 | 00:41:56 | |
Entering an award is time-consuming, expensive, and overwhelming—I get it. Everyone wants that trophy and believes they have what it takes, or they wouldn't enter, right? You might be surprised to learn that many hairdressers face imposter syndrome and worry they're not good enough to be in the spotlight, while others are driven by ego or see it as part of a bigger strategy for long-term success, win or lose. I was honoured to be a finalist for the 2024 Australian Hair Industry Awards (AHIA) Educator of the Year, a pivotal moment in my career. In this episode, I share why not winning the award was actually a strategic win for me—and how it can be for you too. Entering industry awards is often seen as the ultimate measure of recognition, but what if not winning can be just as valuable? Join me as I unpack my journey, the transformations that came with it, and the lessons that can fuel your career growth.

| EP 178: Hairdressing Over 40: Staying Inspired and Relevant with Mr D. | 31 juil. 2024 | 00:56:58 | |
Being a hairdresser is a demanding and physically intense job, and as the years go by, many older stylists may feel the pressure of staying relevant and up-to-date with the latest techniques. However, it doesn't have to be that way. Hair education has changed over the years. If you've been hairdressing for 20 or more years, foundational skills like curly hair, hair-painting for redheads, and dry cutting were not widely taught when we started. Social Media has also changed how we do business and attract clients. I love the our guest interviewed in this episode 'Mr D' slid into my DMs to suggest we discuss being a hairdresser over 40 because we're both in our forties and loving it! Mr. D and I discuss how diversifying within the industry can help maintain passion for the craft. He emphasises the importance of constantly seeking new opportunities, whether it's creating products, specialising in niche areas, or engaging with clients in innovative ways. His advice? "Don't be afraid to do more. Diversifying is a good thing." Hairdressing is an art, and it's essential to find what fuels your passion. Whether it's through education, specialisation, or personal growth, staying inspired and motivated is key to a successful and fulfilling career.

Hair Aid is an extraordinary organization dedicated to providing livelihood skills training to women recused from the sex trade, drug lords and those who live in critical poverty, and hair cutting skills. Once trained, the ladies can earn money, and create a pathway out of poverty. In Australia Hair Aid conducts Community Cuts events, providing free haircuts to those who need a hand up. Hair Aid now has seven international projects a year, and 20+ hairdressers at a time come on each project. Training can be under a tree or on a basketball court – wherever space and people are willing to learn. In five days, the locals learn five basic cuts. With their newfound skills and also the hair-cutting kits donated through Hair Aid, the locals can go on to open their own businesses – even on the side of a road – to start earning money to feed their children. To date, Hair Aid has trained over 6700+ people.

Cinnamon Hair Colour draws inspiration from the warm, spicy tones of cinnamon. Imagine the rich, deep, warm hues of cinnamon sticks – a mix of red, brown, and subtle golden undertones. This colour trend is all about bringing a natural, warm, and inviting look that's perfect for those looking to add a bit of spice to their hair without going too bold. I'm excited about this trend because it's a fantastic option for brunettes and blondes who want to add warmth and richness to their hair.

| EP 171: Balayage & Toning Tips for Reds & Copper Hair Clients | 27 avr. 2024 | 00:41:07 | |
Balayage is a technique to is adaptable to blondes, brunettes, brondes and redheads. Anyone that wants natural sunkissed haircolour is the ideal client to try subtle freehand techniques. There are so many different applications for different end results. The term balayage is taken from the French word for 'sweeping'. 'It's a freehand hair colouring technique that gives a blended, natural look with no harsh or obvious regrowth lines. Balayage differs from foil highlighting because the hairdresser paints colour directly onto the hair instead of wrapping it in foil. There are no stripes and it's all about the seamless blends and future proof vibes for low-maintenance colour that looks gorgeous as it grows out without any harsh lines or obvious roots. In this episode, we're talking about balayage and toning strategies for redheads and why they are so different to working with Blondes, Brondes and Brunettes. -------------------- Learn more in my online course Hair Painting for Redheads: https://kristinarussell.com.au/hairpaintingreds/

| EP 168: Gold is for Filling Hair to go Darker (not for Grey Coverage). Here's why... | 10 avr. 2024 | 00:34:45 | |
As a hairdresser, I understand there's a lot of misleading or contradictory information about hair colour formulations. It's time to stop sacrificing brightness and tone with fashion colours for grey coverage and vice versa. It's also time to stop making every Blonde client who requests to return to their natural brunette shade a reddish brown or accidentally green. Gold is much better suited as a Filler when transforming a Blonde to Brown than Red. There are both warm and cool golds in every colour brand. Cool Golds or Iridescent Violet-based Golds are better for filling light hair on a client who wants to be darker and cooler or natural results. In contrast, gold or orange-yellow golds are better for filling blonde hair to warm natural results, including copper or red. Grey Coverage fashion colours should not contain any gold. You need to add Natural into your grey coverage fashion colours. Trust me. It works with every brand. In this episode of the Colour Kristina Talks podcast, I discuss examples of salon scenarios where gold is your best choice, and why you need to leave it out of your grey coverage client formulas. ----------------------------- Want to learn more?

Wondering why your client's hair turns green or red when you dye it several shades darker? In this episode, we answer that question. You need to fill your client's hair if you are going 2 or more levels darker. That is a colour principle that you need to memorise. Any brand. Any salon. Let me break it down for you:
There are 3 methods that you can use for filling hair:

| EP 166: Spilling the tea: Facebook Hairdressing group No-No's | 21 mars 2024 | 00:37:19 | |
I'm spilling the tea on Hairdresser Facebook Group Formula Requests, and why they're a recipe for disaster! I am freaked out by the epidemic of stylists asking strangers on the internet for help. The questions, the comments, and the misguided answers all make me so nervous I break out in hives just thinking about it. Here's the thing: 90% of all Hairdressers will give a Redhead Hot Roots. 2/3 of those stylists believe the only way that you can mix and formulate a beautiful Redhead is by using a particular colour brand, but your salon doesn't stock them. So you feel that you won't be able to do it because someone told you the colours you stock in the salon can't create beautiful Red & Copper formulas. Sound relatable?

| EP 163: 4 Ways Colour Trend Promotions Can Help Your Salon | 26 févr. 2024 | 00:19:11 | |
Now is a great time to update your service menu. This could be something you aim to do seasonally or perhaps every fashion season, which would be twice a year. Updating your service menu by bundling popular services under exciting, trend-inspired names. Give your clients the thrill of trying something fresh with packages like "Cowgirl Copper Glaze" or "Champagne Sparkle Foils." These not only sound exciting but also create an immersive experience for clients, making them feel they're stepping into the forefront of fashion. Consider bundling traditional services like balayage, highlights, and glossing into comprehensive packages that align with the colour trends. And price for profit by bundling your most popular colour services together with a new trending name. For example, a 'Sun-Kissed Radiance' package could combine warm-toned balayage, honey highlights, and a glossy finish. Be creative and let your imagination run wild with names that resonate with the spirit of 2024. Listen to episode 163 of the Colour Kristina Talks Podcast for Hairdressers and Salon Owners to learn 4 ways hair colour trend promotions can hep your salon.

| EP 158: Beyond the Salon Chair: Mastering Consultations, with Crystal Green | 28 nov. 2023 | 01:03:08 | |
Consultations are the key to your success as a Hairdresser. The salon chair is a sacred space for the client experience. It is important to know how we can best serve our clients without our ego preventing this. They don't expect us to be a guru or to have all the information about every aspect of hair and world current affairs. They want to be seen, touched, feel a connection and have their hair washed/coloured/styled. Don't overcomplicate it. We need to contribute to the happiness in their hair. We are not perfect. We don't need to be perfect. What does the client sitting in your chair need? It's so important to know how to use the tools and techniques with strong communication skills as a Hairstylist. I'm chatting with Podcast Host, Hair Stylist and Educator Crystal Green. Also known as Your Hair Mentor on social media and in her education biz. Crystal helps hairdressers in her coaching sessions to shift their mindset around being an artist and what hair means culturally. It's important to then talk about who you serve, take the ego away, and become the mentor for your client in the salon environment. Working with Crystal as a coach could really help you. In this episode, we're talking about the 3 most important aspects of a killer consultation in the salon and why it's so important.

| EP 157: Revolutionising Education in the Hair Industry with Piloroo | 22 nov. 2023 | 00:55:24 | |
Have you ever seen a hairdressing workshop or event shared on social media that was in your city and you wished you were there but knew nothing about it? Or perhaps you're an educator or want to become one and you're struggling to know more about planning dates in particular locations that don't clash with another guest artist with a massive following.
I have been booked by brands before and had the event cancelled due to the sales team not selling enough tickets & felt really disappointed that the few people who were keen to attend now miss out on learning with me. There must be a better way to centralise this in one place… and that's exactly what my guest Clive Allwright and the team at Piloroo have done.
Piloroo is a Sydney-based start-up who are 100% committed to building a better marketplace for hair stylists, educators, salons and the general public. Their online platform offers salons a diverse choice when searching for a hair educator. Simultaneously, they offer stylists additional work, when it suits them, paid promptly and at rates they set.
This is fantastic news for our industry! All brands are welcome. All levels of experience can join the site and post their education event.
And because it's for the hair, beauty and wellness industry only there's no competition with music or arts events that often dominate regular ticketing sites. On other sites, Hairdressers can get a little lost because of the overwhelming number of events in their city.

I love how Instagram Coach Nicole Healy teaches strategies in such an easy-to-understand way in her Social Salon School membership for Hairdressers and Salon Owners. In this episode, we're talking about social proofing strategies for your business, plus why you can't rely on just Instagram for new client attraction and communicating with your clientele. There are so many different methods to social proof your salon business. Testimonials can help you appear to be trustworthy on Facebook and Google, for example. When clients are searching for a new hairdresser in their area they will often check out Instagram first then check them out on Google, and then go back into blogs and websites.

| EP 154: Exploring Bowlyage Techniques and Bib Innovations for Hairdressers, with Belynda Bennetts | 22 oct. 2023 | 00:48:59 | |
Bowlyage and Hair Colouring in the salon chair just became a lot easier with this innovative range of pro tools for hairdressers who love to colour hair.
I'm about to let you in on a big secret. You simply have to try it. There is nothing else on the market like this. The @hello.bleach Bib is the next generation of hair styling and colouring that is stress-free, functional and sustainable.
If you're sick of your clients' towels, capes and silicone mats slipping off their shoulders mid-technique or your clients leaning forwards and back squishing their hand-painted balayage, you're going to want one of these bibs.

| EP 150: What is Cowgirl Copper? Deciphering trends the easy way... | 27 sept. 2023 | 00:30:11 | |
Copper will always be trending, whether we call it Kendall Copper, Cowgirl Copper or Pumpkin Spice, it's a classic colour that all Hairdressers must know how to do. You can not simply have one tube of colour you mix up for every Copper request because there are so many variations that range from brownish caramels to vibrant orange and everything in between. Cowgirl Copper, also known as Red Copper or Rusty Red, draws its inspiration from the American West. What sets it apart is the balance between fiery red and natural copper hues, creating a mesmerising, multidimensional effect that's both vibrant and wearable. Cowgirl Copper is the hottest colour trend of the moment & it's a heck of a lot spicier than Caramel. I love this trend within the red hair colour spectrum because it's luring more and more brunettes to try something new. They're stepping away from the ash balayage requests and feeling brave to get a warm glow-up. Yay! Finally! In this podcast, I made an exciting announcement! I'm hosting a LIVE Online FREE Masterclass for Hairdressers and Salon Owners to learn How To Achieve Copper Hair Colour without Red or Root Glow. For the first time, I'm including 3 epic bonus lessons that are shared as a series in the leadup to the main event in just over a week. Registration for tickets has opened today!

| EP 149: The Secret to Gold Grey Coverage Hair Colour | 19 sept. 2023 | 00:21:54 | |
As a hairdresser, I understand there's a lot of misleading or contradictory information about hair colour formulations. It's time to stop sacrificing brightness and tone with fashion colours for grey coverage and vice versa. It's also time to stop blaming the brand you use. In this podcast episode, I'll share the Secret why choosing Gold instead of a Natural Base is not your best option for Fashion colour Grey Coverage, including Redheads! To achieve consistent and predictable grey coverage results, always opt for 'N' in grey coverage, including for Redheads! 'N' is more predictable than using 'G'. Most 'N' series already contain Gold, so in fact, you're already using some Gold when you opt for this. If you have a Redhead grey coverage request and choose to use 'Gold' you might get grey coverage. You might also get Root Glow. You will definitely get more Gold than desirable and probably end up needing to correct it with toners. Don't do it! Gold is a "NO" from me. Whatever the percentage of grey your client has is the percentage of 'Natural' or Base colour you will need to cover their greys successfully.

| EP 147: How to confidently deal with difficult clients & prevent burnout, with Danny Lent | 05 sept. 2023 | 00:52:51 | |
Ever felt the weight of the world on your shoulders? As hairdressers, we often give so much of ourselves to our clients that we forget to replenish our own spirits. It's time to wave goodbye to burnout, anxiety and those limiting beliefs! There's a powerful technique that's been quietly revolutionising the beauty and wellness industry: Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping. As hairdressers, we know that our chairs often become confessional booths, with clients sharing their innermost thoughts and emotions. This can be really challenging for hairdressers to navigate, especially when you have your own emotional shit to deal with. I'm talking with Australian hairdresser and educator, Danny Lent, about working through limited beliefs and becoming fearlessly authentic using EFT Tapping. What if we told you that EFT can help you become more confident and grounded in and outside your salon? In this podcast episode, we're diving into a fascinating topic that's all about transforming not just hair, but also your state of mind. So, whether you're snipping, styling, or coloring, get ready to tap into a new realm of holistic well-being that could revolutionize the way you approach both your craft and your life. Listen to learn how to tap away anxiety and how healing can be F-U-N!! ------------------------------------ Steal My 3 Top Trending Colour Formulas for Redheads here: https://www.kristinarussell.online/stealmyformulas Full show notes can be found at https://www.kristinarussell.com.au/147 SEND ME A DM ON INSTAGRAM - let's chat! https://www.instagram.com/colourkristina | |||
