Each year, hopeful stylists graduate from beauty school with a standardized education that leaves them wholly unprepared and undereducated to serve a rapidly diversifying clientele. Kolour Kulture’s goal is to update that curriculum.

Join Kolour Kulture for their signature event, where you will learn how to identify and work with hair as a fabric by understanding its unique properties. They’ll also address the elephant in the room, race, by exploring the history of texture discrimination and the cultural significance of natural hair.
