Foiled to Lived In

Building Seamless, Low-Maintenance Color Your Clients Will Love

The shift from traditional foils to softer, lived-in color is one of the most requested transformations in the salon right now.

Lived-in color isn’t just about placement.
It’s about how everything connects ,from lift to depth to melt to final gloss.

That’s exactly what this class is designed to simplify.

A Clearer Approach to Seamless Color

Foiled to Lived-In Live Tutorial walks you through how to:

• Transition heavy foil clients into softer dimension

• Formulate intentional root smudges and melts

• Use multiple techniques together without overcomplicating the service

• Create color that grows out naturally and reduces maintenance

This isn’t about adding more steps.
It’s about refining the ones that matter.

What You’ll Learn

Formulating Seamless Melts & Smudges

A melt can either tie everything together… or create a shadow that feels disconnected.

You’ll learn how to:

• Choose depth intentionally

• Adjust tone based on remaining warmth

• Create softness at the root without losing brightness

• Prevent muddy mids or over-darkened transitions

The goal is fluid movement from root to end - no harsh lines, no heavy bands.

Combining Techniques Without Overworking the Hair

Foils. Balayage. Teasy lights. Strategic lowlights.

You don’t need to choose just one.
You need to know when and why to use each.

We break down how to layer techniques in a way that:

• Supports a seamless blend

• Maintains dimension

• Avoids unnecessary damage

• Simplifies your placement patterns

More intention. Less chaos.

Creating Dimension That Lasts

Low-maintenance color isn’t flat.
It’s controlled contrast.

You’ll learn how to:

• Preserve brightness around the face

• Soften interior heaviness

• Balance lightness and depth
