I wanted to give the stylists from our five stores something that would be both inspiring and educational. Since our new theme across all locations was “The Power of Colour” and because, in my view, there is only one true expert in the Netherlands on this subject, I reached out to Marie-Gon. She responded with immediate enthusiasm, and the invitations were sent out. Marie-Gon really goes all out; she arrives carrying boxes overflowing with colour, and then the day begins. Using beautiful imagery, she speaks at length about the impact of colour, its potential, and how it can be applied in any setting. She truly challenged our 17 stylists.
Discover what a color can reveal about you, with a clear explanation of the NCS color system, a hands-on approach that helps you grasp the system immediately. You’ll also get to curate beautiful imagery, selecting and cutting out color swatches from overflowing boxes until you’ve created a stunning, cohesive composition. After all, nothing is more personal than color!
But then… Marie Gon makes her way around to everyone, shifting things, a process that is truly illuminating. It’s wonderful to see how she uses her expertise to rearrange elements, shifting your own perspective and teaching you to see things in a completely different way. In this manner, MG changes the way you look at color; it was such an educational and special experience! She takes the time to speak with everyone, adjusting arrangements and offering explanations. Even for this group, people who work with color and styling every single day, it sparked a sense of wonder, drawing out plenty of “ahhs” and “ohhs.”
It is incredible how MG manages to get everyone excited, drawing on her vast knowledge and a pleasant, calm voice; she strikes a perfect balance between listening and hands-on activity, while leaving plenty of room for improvisation.
Nothing was overstated, nothing was exaggerated, what a fantastic, cheerful, colorful, delightful, and educational day this was!
