Lisa Hart-Walker is a color educator and blonding specialist who helps working stylists turn “I hope this tones right” into repeatable, confident results — built on color theory, not guesswork. Based at Mane Beauty in Rochester Hills, Michigan, she’s best known as the founder of Balayage Boot Camp and the creator of the W.O.W Comb, teaching the craft of modern blonding with a fundamentals-first backbone.

Her origin story reads like a comeback track: she’s shared that she started hair as a side hobby, hit seasons of failure and frustration, and nearly walked away—until a mentor pushed her to take control of her career and double down on education. That “own it” mindset shows up in her teaching voice too—direct, practical, and big on responsibility—because better technique is only half the glow-up.

Today, Lisa’s education spans in-person intensives (including color theory camps and multi-day boot camps) plus online learning for stylists who want to sharpen their placement, formulation thinking, and finishing choices between busy weeks behind the chair. If your goal is cleaner blends, smarter toning, and a stronger “why,” working with Lisa is an invitation to build those muscles—one section, one formula decision, one win at a time.
