You can absolutely transform how you show up in this industry once you master a niche like hair color!
After 17 years in this industry, I’ve spent the last 5 years teaching hair stylists how to create amazing color transformations.
While teaching them, I've noticed that they all WANT to make more money, but these were the top 4 things stylist are struggling with when it comes to offering hair color services in the salon.
Do These Sound Familiar?
- You don't feel confident in your approach to technique (foiling, placement, etc.) or formulation (understanding developers, proper lifting, or toning).
- You are worried about properly charging for your color services because you fear clients will reject your new price point.
- You want more tips on how to execute proper consultations to ensure achievable results.
- You're not sure why you aren't meeting your clients expectations which results to redo’s, or refunds.
You're ready to charge more to do less!
Right now you're burned out in the salon because you're only offering basic $50 services on 30 clients a day, when you can easily add a premium hair color service and make $1,000+ a day with 3 clients or less!
The only issue is, you struggle with the confidence needed to create amazing, breathtaking color transformations on textured hair!
But, after enrolling in free education classes, watching “how to” hair color videos on YouTube, and IG reels, you still don’t have the skills or technique needed to attract quality color clients.
Which has you feeling frustrated and ready to give up on your dream of becoming an expert hair colorist.

"I have been coloring hair for a while now, but I never truly LOVED my color work. I did a lot of guessing when it came to formulation, and just hoped for the best based on what I’ve learned over the years of taking color classes.
Last year, I decided to put more intention around my color education (and “intention” happened to be my theme for 2022 so it made sense), and that led me to AJ Small’s Hair Color Concepts Academy which has been an absolute color goldmine!
The best thing about The Academy is that it’s basic enough for new colorists but thorough enough to give even the most experienced colorist several AHAs. AJ’s passion and her commitment to excellence are what drove me to not only complete her 10-week intensive, but also her 3-day in-person, hands-on class. The education was just that good y’all!"
Melanie Hyman
"As a brand new stylist in the industry,I was terrified of hair color. I struggled with techniques, placement, and formulation.
After the 10 week intensive and the 3 day Color Mastery class, I'm more confident and eager to get my hands on some color!
I enjoyed the hands on portion of the classes where we are able to work through the techniques with AJ as our guide. Although it was fast paced, we were still able to get our questions in.
Even if sessions were suppose to be 90 minutes, AJ would not rush through them to make sure we were retaining the information she presented to us.
The most helpful thing about the academy is having the opportunity to go back and watch the classes at your own pace so, if you missed something during the live classes, you can catch it on the replays.
I would encourage any stylist who has not had color education outside of cosmetology school to take classes inside of the academy.
AJ is doing an amazing job with it! I absolutely love her teaching style and her passion for the craft!"
Ebony Harris
"Before joining The Academy, I didn't know how to formulate correctly and I didn't feel comfortable doing whatever the client wanted done. It was amazing having an instructor like AJ who understood this struggle and was down to earth and very easy to understand.
The most helpful part about the academy was being able to learn the science behind formulating color correctly. I'm more confident and ready to take on more color challenges and experiences!"
Tamy Cozier- Charles
"AJ is very knowledgeable and the way she breaks concepts down can work for anyone...whether you're a complete beginner or veteran. It's also great that she demonstrates via video. I'm a visual learner so I need to see how something is done.

I'm a visual learner so I need to see how something is done.
I've used AJ's placements on a few of my color clients and the results were on point! This class is a must for anyone who would like to become a better colorist."
Kendra Willis
" I got EXACTLY what I came for! My struggle in the beginning was understanding formulations and placement techniques. AJ taught me how to breakdown formulations in the most basic way to the point where I was able to understand the more complex versions of color lines. I can now use any color line and know exactly what I'm looking for!

"AJ Small's ability to relay theory and practical application is the best to which I have been privy. AJ was never "secretive" in sharing her knowledge. She worked tirelessly to insure that her graphics, charts, or classroom material enhanced our understanding of the discussion topic.
I began this class as a complete novice and as a recent graduate, I now have the confidence of color theory, techniques, product & tool knowledge, and a network of fellow hair colorists to conquer any color situation that I find myself."
Kymberlee Barnett
"The struggles that brought me to HCC Academy were navigating the current trends as well as refreshing the traditional with simplicity and taking away the guesswork to yield consistent results. HCC Academy has been most helpful for me to create a standard for my color business and adhere those tools given across the board. The foundational education along with the upgraded techniques is gold!
Since enrolling the mindset changes have been the best for me. Paired along with the skill set behind the chair..major upgrade!"
Ra'Shawnda Henson- Cooper
"My favorite part of the program was how easy AJ made it for us to understand the material. It was also an added bonus that she kept me laughing all while learning. She breaks down the information and makes it relative, and for me that's important for information retention. I love that she truly genuinely in concerned with our success and will do what is needed to make sure we have an arsenal of knowledge for every facet of our business."
LaCretia Baskfield
" The whole HCC program is AMAZING! The workbook is clear, concise, and thorough. The modules are packed with information but understandable no matter how long you've been in the industry.
I was always anxious and nervous doing color clients. Literally, after the first orientation call, I knew that this was the place for me to finally build my confidence. Now, I go into the color appointments with a solid plan and know how to make adjustments when necessary. I feel a lot more confident behind the chair! "
Why I needed, what I'm now offering!
In 2005 I graduated from a predominately white cosmetology school that only taught me enough to pass the state board. There was no focus on hair color beyond what would be on that test OR no education on how to work with the specific needs of highly textured hair, and THAT didn’t get me far once I was in a salon.
Once in the salon, I had no idea how to handle situations such as color corrections or how to mimic any picture a client brought to me to replicate.
It wasn’t until I completely TORE UP somebody’s hair that I knew I needed to take it upon myself to take more classes and get the foundation I didn’t receive in cosmetology school.
I took 3 full years and invested in additional hair color education from some of my favorite colorist, color brands and even took the time to get my cosmetology instructor's license, so that I had a full understanding of not only hair color, but how to educate other stylist in a way that worked for them.
