Copper Rising

Coppers and golds aren’t a color story—they’re on the rise.

Copper Rising is a two-day KEUNE Academy experience built for stylists ready to master warmth—from foil to finish. This is where luminous coppers and sun-drenched golds meet the movement-obsessed shag cut, and the result is hair that doesn’t just look good in a photo—it moves, catches light, and rises above the rest.

Chris Combs and Vanya Mooneyham prove that formula and shape are never separate decisions—every foil placement built with the cut in mind, every cut designed to let color breathe. Watch them do it first. Then it’s your turn to do it yourself, start to finish.

Day 1 belongs to Chris and Vanya. Sit back and watch as they take live models through the full warm transformation—color and cut, start to finish, side by side. See copper formulation, gold-toned melts, and dimensional foiling meet the shag cutting technique in real time and learn exactly how strategic placement and shape are built to work together.

Day 2 it’s your turn. You’ll take your mannequin from first foil to finished shag, executing a complete color-and-cut transformation from start to finish under trainer guidance. Apply your copper and gold formula with intention, then cut and style for the movement and dimension that makes warmth impossible to ignore.

Why You Should Attend:

• Master copper and gold formulation, foiling, and dimensional melting techniques
• Learn the modern shag cut—texture, layering, and movement built to showcase color
• Watch Chris and Vanya execute live model color and cut transformations, start to finish
• Execute your own full color-and-cut mannequin transformation, start to finish, under trainer guidance
• Build a repeatable system for pairing warm tones with texture-driven cutting

Walk away with the formulas, the shape, and the confidence to make warmth the most requested service in your chair. This is Copper Rising—and it starts with you.
