💇🏼‍♀️ Licensed to Color: DIY Guests, Pantene Debates & Color Theory 101

In this episode of License & Unsupervised, we’re talking about DIY hair, color theory, and the very different types of salon guests we meet behind the chair.

We kick things off with Chromadaddy and how creative color education and product innovation are changing the way stylists approach vivid and corrective color. From there, we dive into the wild world of at-home hair experiments — the DIY box-color moments, the “I saw it on TikTok” trims, and the guests who treat their bathrooms like chemistry labs.

We break down:

• Why some guests love experimenting on themselves
• Why others won’t touch their own bangs
• The truth about using Pantene and drugstore shampoo
• Whether you should wash your hair before your salon appointment
• The importance of color theory and always doing a test strand
• A throwback to the best class party at Paul Mitchell
• What education really taught us (and what it didn’t)

This episode is for hairstylists, salon professionals, beauty students, and anyone who has ever tried to color their own hair and hoped for the best.
