CONTINUING EDUCATION

“I’ve trained hundreds of women in Color Analysis, but there’s something special about bringing it to the hair industry.

In a world full of hair stylists, I want you to learn how to stand out and become a sought-out specialist who understands the science and art of Color Analysis.

Not only that, you can become an expert in cultivating confidence and inner beauty, helping women reflect their true worth from the inside out.

If you're feeling lost in a crowded beauty industry, I can't wait to teach you how to set yourself apart!"

Shari Braendel

CEO & Founder of Style by Color

Shari has spent the last 30 years leading the way in color analysis and has been featured in Real Simple, Southern Living, ABC, and Forbes. She empowers women worldwide and trains professionals in her one-of-a-kind approach to using color as a tool for confidence and transformation.

You decide how to run your business.

At Style by Color, our consultants are certified professionals who bring their passion for fashion to their own communities. While they are trained and certified through the Color and Style Academy, they operate as independent business owners, not employees or franchise owners of Style by Color. This distinction allows each consultant the freedom to run their business in a way that aligns with their unique goals and personal style, while still benefiting from the expertise, tools, and support provided by Style by Color.

You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We are going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand--shine.

Matthew 5:14 The Message

We now offer the Color Analysis Certification designed specifically for Hair Professionals in an effort to change the world through first-class color analysis, equipping hair professionals with a way to cultivate self-confidence and beauty in others while positioning themselves as experts in their industry and local communities.

This idea started when Shari met Michael Carrato in Miami, Florida. When she conducted color analysis in his salon, it completely shifted the way he approached hair color for his clients. Instead of simply following trends or personal preference, he began to see how the right shades could enhance natural beauty, making his clients look healthier, more radiant, and more confident.

Michael has often said that this transformation revolutionized his business. By incorporating the techniques she introduced to him, he refined his ability to choose the most complementary hair colors for his clients, creating consistently stunning results.

One particular client still spends over $400 every five weeks—bringing him over $80,000 in business since Shari first introduced him to her services. Years later, he continues to use the color analysis techniques she taught him, proving that understanding the science and artistry of color analysis can have a lasting impact. Their collaboration not only deepened his expertise but also elevated the experience for everyone who walked into his salon.

TAKE THE FIRST STEP & WATCH A LESSON FOR FREE!

I looked into color analysis training programs over the last few year, but when I read about the mission of Style by Color, I knew it was the one for me. If I was going to do it, it would be Style by Color, because of it being Christ-centered.

The price of the full style program kind of scared me. I didn’t think I would ever be able to justify it, so I put it aside. A short while later, the lovely Shari reached out to me, and we set up a Zoom meeting. Before the meeting, I prayed that if she said a specific number on price I would do it. She told me there was a program for hair professionals, and when she told me the price, it was the exact number I had prayed about! I took the leap of faith and signed up for the program. I enjoyed it so so very much!!

**Since graduating (just 6 weeks ago), I've made almost half the money I spent for the program and am on track to make it back completely in the next few months!**

If you are questioning if this is the program for you, take it to prayer and God will lead you! I would do this again and again. Not an ounce of me regrets it. The information is worth so much more!
