The Color Of Transparency with Chromadaddy
Manage episode 475619798 series 3591724
Episode Summary: In this episode, we finally bring on the one and only Matt, aka ChromaDaddy!
Today we're diving deep into the mind behind the brand we absolutely love.
We talk about the journey from stylist to color creator, the philosophy behind ChromaDaddy, and the absolute necessity of transparency in the hair industry. Matt spills the tea on how his colors aren’t just about slapping dye on hair – they’re a tool for true artists. We also discuss why his formulations require stylists to actually know their shit and why that’s a good thing.
Plus, we get into the exciting collab that’s been brewing between Meg aka @colouringonthespectrum and Chromadaddy– Peach, Please. – an ultra-pastel neon peach that’s removable, UV reactive, and the ultimate gateway into the world of vivids. If you’ve ever wanted to dip your toes into bold colour but were hesitant, this is the shade for you. We break down the process of creating it, our struggles with perfectionism, and why it’s launching in April!
And of course, we talk neurodivergence, navigating the industry as autistic stylists, and how self-diagnosis is absolutely valid.
