Grey-haired clients are something you should no longer hide or shy away from; they are something to embrace and enhance with your clients and trust us, they will love you for it! As more clients choose to transition to their natural greys or experiment with cooler tones, mastering how to seamlessly blend greys is a must-have skill for every hairdresser. Whilst blending greys isn’t always straightforward, that’s where our expert education opportunity comes in.

We spoke to our Quif Educator, John Anthoney, to explore why learning how to seamlessly blend greys is essential for colourists and how learning the skills from education opportunities can elevate your skills, boost your business, set you apart within the industry, and most importantly, give your clients the confidence to love their greys.

“Learning to master a client's journey towards seamless greys is important because it allows hairdressers to keep up to date with current trends. It also allows hairdressers to offer a more bespoke and natural look for clients who are transitioning to grey hair whilst being creative. This skill helps build client trust and loyalty in your knowledge and creativity. Walk away with the tips and tricks for long-lasting, impactful grey blends.’

Whether your clients want to embrace their natural silver look or experiment with cool-toned colour, learning the techniques to achieve a flawless finish is key to delivering a look they will love.

“Some of the biggest challenges hairdressers face when working with cool tones and grey blends are how quick they can fade, how to avoid brassiness or even dealing with blue tones and ensuring the end result is seamless and natural-looking. Some clients don't want lightener used, and that's fine, but my course teaches you how to work without the lightener to keep your client's needs as a priority.”

Discover the practical approach that ensures you leave the Seamless Grey Blending course feeling confident and equipped to handle a variety of client requests to meet their needs whilst delivering their desired outcome.

“Without saying too much, some ⁠key techniques that stylists will learn on the Seamless Grey Blending course include impactful placements & sectioning, the correct choice of colour, blending & lightening techniques, toning methods, aftercare, and guidance on how to turn grey blending into a profit-making service. I will also cover product recommendations for maintaining grey hair and service building for future appointments. Quite literally, I will be covering everything!”

If you’re a beginner to tackling grey clients or just want to up-skill in this area, the Seamless Grey Blending course will ensure you leave with a vast amount of knowledge to be the ultimate grey blending expert.

“Embracing grey blending can help salons grow their business and retain clients by expanding their service offerings, creating new colour services aimed at grey blending clients, that can open doors to attract new clients. Also, it can help attract clients who are interested in embracing their natural grey hair whilst having fun with colour! You’ll be able to generate conversations with your regular silver-grey clients who want to flirt with colour and enhance their natural silver and greys.”

This service not only boosts your salon’s bottom line but opens the door to new clients who struggle to find a safe space to tackle their greys, which creates the perfect opportunity to develop relationships with your clients, as well as secure ongoing maintenance appointments, too!

“To recap, hairdressers should book onto the course to elevate their colour skills and stay up-to-date with current trends in the industry. Seamless grey blending is a key trend in 2025, and my course will provide them with the knowledge and techniques necessary to create seamless and beautiful grey blends for different clients.
