Hopefully May has brought some hope and improvements wherever you are. There seems to be a light at the end of the COVID tunnel at last, with vaccines rolling out and talk of the trade shows running this year. Read our article in SHOOT magazine on how COVID has changed grading, or the results of our survey on how COVID has affected colorists.
We had a fantastic Colorist Mixer last month, with $35500 of prizes, 6 great talks plus lots of chat amongst the community. If you missed it, you can now watch the talks back. The next one will run in July with a Spanish and Portuguese focus - save the date to be in with a chance to win next time.
For those starting out, there's lots of new content - including the 6 looks every colorist will be asked for, a downloadable eGuide on going pro, and one on Colorist Superskills. Plus, the latest episode of much-loved Color Tour podcast, this time in Malaysia. And, lots of spring discounts on upcoming classes - live and on-demand.
Have a great month! Stay safe and stay colorful, Team iColorist Send us a message |
