I have been using Redken products for 5 years, do I have to attend the Redken Specialist program first?

The Redken Design Authority program focuses on the skills of design. The benefit of attending the Redken Specialist Program is that you will be well prepared with current knowledge of the Redken brand and products that will be used during this program.

I attended the Redken Specialist program 8 years ago, do I need to go again before I can attend Redken Design Authority?

The benefit of attending the Redken Specialist program again would be to be completely up to speed with all new product launches and programs. If you are a stylist in an Elite salon and actively update, then you should be able to integrate with no worries.

Do I need to attend Redken Design Authority before I take Redken Design Certification?

Yes. The Redken Design Authority program provides you with the tools for success in passing your Redken Design Certification exam.

Do I need to attend all 4 days to become a Redken Design Authority?

Yes. You must attend all 4 days at the location you register for. Your program tuition covers all 4 days. To ensure you receive your graduation certificate, you will need to attend all 4 days. Should there be any reason you cannot, please speak to the program facilitator.

Can I transfer into another location/date for the last 2 days?

You must attend all 4 days at your registered location. You cannot transfer into another Redken Design Authority program if you already attended one of the days.

The Redken Design Authority program allowed me to understand "why” I’m cutting what I’m cutting.  Being able to look at a picture, analyze it and being able to recreate it specifically for each guest.  This program by far exceeded my expectations!! The educators know what they are talking about and they TRULY care about educating stylists to make us the best we can be!
