FAQs

  • What is the difference between Bleach Specialist and Dark Bases.

    Both courses have the same theory lessons. The main difference is the models that we work on. Our Classic Bleach specialist course covers a variety of lighter and darker bases (4-7) so it is perfect if you want an all round bleaching course that gives you the confidence to bleach all hair types. Our Bleach Specialist Dark Bases course covers only dark bases. So if your clientele is mainly bases 5 and below, you will benefit from doing the Bleach Specialist Dark Bases course. If you have a variety of light and dark base clients then our Classic Bleach specialist course is best for you. If you have a variety of dark and light base clients and really struggle with dark bases or want to grow your dark base clientele then we would advise you to do both courses.
