Hey, I’m Kristina Russell.
I’m a red and copper hair colour expert and industry educator with 30 years of hairdressing experience.
I created The Red + Copper Root Zone Checklist because I know how stressful it feels when a red or copper result starts going sideways and you can’t quite work out why.
Most of the time, the fix is not changing five things at once and hoping for the best. It’s knowing what to check first.
That’s not a confidence problem. It’s a diagnosis problem.
This checklist is the first step in the decision-making process I teach inside my Hair Painting Reds + Coppers framework, which has helped thousands of stylists and colourists feel more confident creating reds and coppers using any professional colour brand.
I’ve painted hair on stages around the world, taught thousands of stylists online, and facilitated in-salon workshops helping colourists avoid costly red and copper mistakes on the salon floor.
This guide is the cheat sheet I wish more stylists had before the colour goes on. A simple way to pause, check the root zone, and make clearer decisions before you mix, tweak or panic.
They don’t call me the Colour Queen for nothing.
