You have a unique gift

You see endless possibilities and transformations waiting to unfold. You turn uncertainty into confidence and clients into living expressions of your creativity. You see beauty before it even takes shape.

The Color Collective

You didn’t choose this career to play it safe.
You chose it to create, to connect, and to transform with big intention. Now it’s time to nurture that intention with deeper knowledge, so you can feel grounded and confident in every decision you make.

It’s in the way you listen, the care you put into your craft, and the calm you bring when a client is unsure.

Somewhere along the way, the one part of the process that can completely shift your results in under two minutes quietly slipped into the background, maybe even treated like an afterthought when it’s actually everything.

Formulation.

If you've ever felt stuck, unsure, or like you're just “hoping it works” every time you mix a formula...
You are not alone. You're missing the deeper understanding that unlocks everything.

That clarity might not have been taught to you. 

When you understand why you’re formulating a certain way, not just how, you unlock true artistry.
You stop guessing. You start leading.
And that confidence changes YOU.

You bring the curiosity, I’ll bring the tools.

Stylist, Educator, and the Heart Behind The Confidence Behind Formulation

Christine Turek

Christine started her journey in the beauty industry at just 16 years old, never imagining the career that would unfold, one rooted in purpose, passion, and a deep desire to help others grow both personally and professionally.

With years behind the chair and in the trenches of salon culture, she’s developed a unique way of teaching color theory, formulation, and balayage that doesn’t just educate - it challenges you to think deeper, trust yourself, and elevate your artistry.

She believes the industry gives back what you pour into it. And through every obstacle she’s overcome, she’s stayed committed to creating a space that’s not only supportive, but safe , a place where stylists can show up as they are, expand their skills, and connect with what success truly means.

Her mission goes beyond the focus of outer beauty. She’s here to help you build inner confidence, sharpen your craft, and feel empowered in every formula you mix and every client you serve.

I have realized this is the best investment I've made since going to cos school. Color was/hasn't been my strong side but wow oh wow have I understood everything and see it visually!!! Thank you!!

Angela C

I bought the course and it has helped me so much! I've already been adjusting my glosses and omg 😱 a game changer! I feel more confident in formulating! I love learning from you, thank you. You've helped me a ton!

Thank you for this amazing course! I am starting to understand your teaching. I'm thinking beyond how I used to, instead of being overwhelmed with social media. Thank you for waking up my brain!

It has been one of my greatest honors to educate and guide stylists toward the best version of themselves. I never take for granted how deeply special this work is. To teach, to lead, and to walk alongside you as you grow.

Ten years ago, I almost walked away from hair altogether. But stepping into education gave me a renewed sense of purpose and through teaching, I fell back in love with my own artistry. Watching other stylists push through the hardest parts of this career and come out stronger is something I’ll never stop being inspired by.

Because let’s be honest , this path isn’t easy. We hold a lot behind the chair: our guest's joy, pain, and everything in between. And yet, we keep showing up. We give so much of ourselves to others... but you deserve support, too.

That’s what this course is about.
It’s not just information, it’s restoration. It’s the kind of education that gives back to you.

You’re not here by accident. And I’m so grateful you’ve landed on this page.
You are seen. You are valuable. And you are so worthy of the growth waiting for you inside this course.

From the deepest part of my heart, thank you. I hope to see you soon.

With gratitude,
Christine
