Satin Hair Color has launched Satin Sessions, a new educational series designed to provide professional colorists with technical guidance. The program features step-by-step styling breakdowns created by veteran stylist Mike Sharkey.
Why it matters
The series aims to bridge the gap between high-end creative inspiration and practical salon techniques. It offers professional colorists structured training on placement, formulation, and application to help standardize complex hair-coloring processes.
The launch introduces an educational curriculum based on the brand's library of 70 professional color shades. While the program provides specific technical instructions for lift and tone, the long-term impact on professional skill levels remains under investigation.
