What is "lifestyle color"?

The so-called "lifestyle color" refers to hair colors that can be achieved without the bleaching process. Since bleaching is not required, it causes less damage to the hair and is easier to maintain. The most common example is the timeless and ever-popular brown shades.

In recent years, advancements in hairdressing techniques have allowed for the creation of more refined lifestyle colors using the "mist dyeing" method. This includes options like the autumn-perfect Maillard color or the trending Angora red of this year. These provide individuals who care about hair health but still crave versatile colors with more sophisticated and luxurious choices.

How to elevate ordinary lifestyle colors to luxury?

Although "lifestyle colors" may seem simple, achieving a high-end look with something so basic is the most challenging part. According to Ko Jian, the key to determining whether a hair color exudes sophistication lies in its transparency and misty finish. During his class, Ko Jian will introduce a straightforward concept of "primary and secondary colors" in dyeing, which serves as the crucial technique for transforming ordinary hair colors into refined, luxurious shades.

A new perspective on hair dyeing: Beyond brand limitations

Teacher Ko Jian is renowned for his teaching style that balances practical application and theoretical knowledge. He emphasizes that hairstylists should build their own design philosophy on a solid foundation of basic techniques. This approach enables stylists to apply their skills and concepts to a variety of hair conditions, creating tailored and versatile solutions for their clients.

In his classes, stylists will learn how to use primary colors to control hair color brightness and secondary colors to adjust the tone's warmth, coolness, or intensity, achieving the desired transparency and misty effect. As one of his students remarked: “After attending Teacher Ko Jian’s class, he provided us with theories to think about, making us realize that hair dye formulas aren’t as crucial as we once thought. The focus shifts from memorizing formulas to learning how to assess different hair conditions.” This teaching approach significantly enhances a stylist’s creativity and adaptability, enabling them to make professional judgments and adjustments swiftly, catering to diverse hair textures and color needs.

How to avoid color failures?

One of Teacher Ko Jian’s strengths lies in his in-depth exploration of hair coloring misconceptions. In his classes, he carefully explains common mistakes made by stylists and provides practical solutions. For example, when coloring lifestyle browns, many stylists instinctively choose brown dye. However, if the hair hasn’t been lightened or bleached, it retains natural pigments, which can result in a color that is too dark and heavy, with a muddy appearance lacking transparency. Ko Jian’s insights help stylists avoid these pitfalls and achieve more refined and luminous results.

In addition, Teacher Ko Jian emphasizes the principle of "don’t use red for red, don’t use orange for orange" when dyeing warm-toned lifestyle colors. The most common mistake in creating warm tones like orange or red is making them too vibrant, which detracts from the color’s sophistication. Ko Jian shares that he prefers using high-brightness gray tones as the primary color, complemented by suitable orange or red as secondary colors. This approach softens the overall hue, ensuring the final lifestyle color looks more natural and exudes a refined, high-end feel.

Why should hairstylists take this course?

Students who have attended Teacher Ko Jian’s courses often describe it as a mindset-shifting experience that redefines their approach to hair coloring. One student shared, “Teacher Ko Jian’s course helped me break through years of misconceptions about hair dyeing. The systematic approach reorganized my understanding, freeing me from reliance on brand formulas and enabling me to safely handle various hair textures and conditions.”

Ko Jian is known for using metaphors in his teaching, making complex concepts easier to grasp. Another student remarked, “This is a completely new way of understanding hair dyeing. Over the years, I’ve attended many courses, but this one felt exceptionally clear. After listening, it felt as simple as breathing.”

After attending Teacher Ko Jian’s course, you’ll undoubtedly feel more confident in your hair coloring skills. One student shared, “I went from relying on intuition to using data for hair coloring. I can now assess the hair's condition to determine how to apply and replenish color. Mastering this feels almost unbeatable.”

These genuine experiences from hairstylist students demonstrate that Ko Jian’s course is more than just a technical training—it’s a new mindset for hair coloring! If you’d like to get a preview of Ko Jian’s teaching style, check out more short clips on his personal Instagram.
