The Joico Excellence Programme

Let’s catch up on the Joico Excellence Programme: an intense 10-month colour master programme that invited colourists to build on their knowledge and skill set within this creative side of the hairdressing industry.

Over the 10-month period, the team took part in educational sessions which covered all aspects of salon life; trends, commercial-cutting, colouring, and styling, all of which work towards the final looks shown throughout the photographic collection. We’ve also included their colour formulas so you can try them out too! 

Ijan Davies joined the programme’s coordinator Lorraine Matic to mentor the team throughout the process. He provided the team with helpful advice and shared his experiences working on shoots and campaigns over the years. It’s always helpful to hear other people’s experiences, don’t you think?

The inspiration for the collection was taken from the salons by demonstrating commercial and achievable hair, which could easily be recreated in salons. Just perfect!
