What is a Wella Master Color Expert?

I have a few titles, certifications, and accreditations under my belt that I’ve worked hard for since entering this industry in 2005. One of those accreditations is MCE (Master Color Expert) from Wella.

WELLA MASTER COLOR EXPERT ACCREDITATION

Through a series of advanced education and exams, as well as practical projects and assessments with Wella Professional educators, Wella Color Experts attain the highest level of color accreditation from one of the world’s leading professional hair care companies. 

A Master Colour Expert (MCE) is a title given once they have completed the industry’s most prestigious color program. The course is equivalent to a 12-month intensive Master’s degree in coloring. It involves in-depth science of the structure of a strand of hair and examines how different colors affect it, diets and hair growth/loss, and how the hair becomes grey. In-depth knowledge of color and structure of the hair also gives us a great understanding of color correction how and why certain colors are used and expertise to what is achievable without compromising conditions.

The course is divided into 4 stages, a timed exam takes place on the second stage with minimum pass rate in order to continue with stages 3 & 4. You are assessed throughout all stages of the course including practical days working alongside guest artists for inspiration and colour techniques. The final practical exam has to have a score of 85% or more to be awarded the title 'Master Color Expert'.
