Empowering Stylists: The Vision of Sarah Spiers and Chaulk Education
Sarah Spiers stands out as a true expert in hair color education. With over three decades of industry experience and an enduring passion for color theory and its science, she has redefined professional development in the world of hairstyling.
Her career journey began in the vibrant salons of the 1980s—a time characterized by experimentation and creative freedom. Working with prestigious names such as Trevor Sorbie and Brookes & Brooks, Sarah honed her craft and nurtured her fascination with color. This period sparked a lifelong love for the art and science behind hair color transformations.
Sarah credits her grandfather, a carpenter, as the inspiration behind her meticulous approach to understanding processes and structures. Her innate curiosity drove her to ask “why” and uncover the principles behind successful color techniques. Frustrated by the limitations of traditional brand-specific education, she launched Chaulk Education—a platform dedicated to empowering hairdressers by demystifying the complexities of color work.
The Philosophy of Chaulk Education
Chaulk Education stands out as brand-neutral, reflecting Sarah’s core belief: “Color is color.” This approach tackles the challenge many stylists face when transitioning between salons that use different products and brands. Sarah’s training equips professionals with universal skills that can be applied confidently regardless of the products they encounter.
A cornerstone of her teachings is clarity and confidence in high-stakes scenarios, such as color corrections. Sarah is committed to helping stylists avoid “color meltdowns” by fostering deep understanding and mastery of techniques—not just trial-and-error application. Her philosophy emphasizes knowledge and craftsmanship, encouraging stylists to embrace the science behind their art.
Transforming Education with Expertise
Through Chaulk Education, Sarah combines her wealth of experience with technical precision, empathy, and an unrelenting passion for uplifting her peers. Free from the influence of specific brands and marketing jargon, her training focuses on empowering stylists to achieve unparalleled confidence and control in their color work.
Sarah’s motto—”NO BRANDS, NO BULLSH*T, NO LIMITATIONS”—resonates throughout her courses, making them a refreshing departure in an often-noisy industry.
