What’s inside
Reading the hair before you touch it
Porosity, condition and chemical history — how to plan every section before the brush ever moves, so you’re not guessing halfway through.
The section map that stops banding before it starts
How placement decisions made in the first five minutes are what actually prevent the visible line that gives balayage away as amateur work.
Brush control
Graduating pressure and controlling how far the lightener travels, for a blend that looks grown, not painted on.
Reading the hair as it lifts
Knowing exactly when to check, when to leave it, and how to avoid both over- and under-processing on different hair types.
The toner formula you can actually repeat
A real system for fighting yellow, adding warmth, or killing orange — instead of a different guess every single client.
The 90-minute balayage
Working within the chair-time that actually pays, without cutting corners on the result.
Talking colour with your client
Turning a vague inspiration photo into a real, achievable plan — and setting expectations that protect both the result and the relationship.
The dry-down check and the rebook
How the colour really reads once it’s dry, the aftercare that protects it, and how to turn a great result into a returning client.
Elise — blonde specialist
Elise has built her reputation on one thing: consistent, natural-looking blonde results — a method she’s now used on hundreds of clients across her own team. This course isn’t theory, it’s the exact approach behind the before-and-afters you’re about to see.
Elise has been a hairdresser for 5 years and has worked with close to 1,000 clients. She started out mobile in 2024 as a self-employed stylist, quickly grew into her own salon on Cross Street in Wakefield town centre, and in 2026 moved into a larger space to build a full team. Balayage and blonde work have always been her focus — she’s never stopped testing and refining, and the MedLocks method is still evolving today.

A few questions
Do I need any special products to follow along?
No — the technique works with whatever’s already in your kit, whatever brand you use. Wella, XP, Schwarzkopf, it doesn’t matter — this is about technique, not a specific product line.
I’m newly qualified — is this too advanced for me?
As long as you’re qualified and come with a good attitude and a genuine willingness to learn, yes. This is the exact method Elise teaches every stylist who joins her own salon — experience level matters less than being ready to actually apply it.
When does the course actually launch?
The course launches on 23rd September — waitlist members will be the first to hear, at the founding price locked in above.
