Education · For stylists

Modern Blonde.

Lauren's education session for working hairdressers. She travels New Zealand teaching and demonstrating how she creates the perfect blonde, straight from what she does every day as a blonde and balayage specialist at Iron + Ivy in Queenstown.

Not theory you'll never use: you watch it done, and you take it back to your own chair.

How it works

Blonde, taught by doing.

From the chair, not a textbook

Blondes, balayage and colour corrections are what Lauren is booked for, day in, day out. Modern Blonde is that work, shown and explained by the person who does it.

Shown, then talked through

Lauren teaches and demonstrates. You see how she gets there, and why, so the result makes sense on your own clients, not just on the model in front of you.

Built around your team

Tell Lauren your salon, your team size and what you'd like covered. She shapes the session around where your team is now and where you want it to be.
