Your Silk Press Shouldn't Take 2+ Hours.
If you're spending too much time on one silk press, something in your process is slowing you down.
It could start at the shampoo bowl.
It could be your blow-dry.
Or you could be leaving too much work for the flat iron.
After training hundreds of beauty professionals, I've learned that every step affects the next.
Formula 60 teaches you how to work more efficiently, create beautiful results in less time and make room for more clients.

I'm Kali Gipson, salon owner, industry educator and founder of Silk & Blow.
I've spent years doing silk presses, training stylists and building salons around serving textured hair.
I've seen talented stylists struggle with their blow-dry, timing and consistency. I've also seen what happens when they finally have a system they can follow.
Formula 60 isn't theory. It's a method developed from years of training real stylists, inside real salons, on real clients.
Now I'm teaching it to you.
Learn Formula 60 with KaliMeet My 10–20–30 Rule.
The fastest stylists aren't rushing.
They have a system.
That's why I created my 10–20–30 Rule, the framework I use to teach stylists exactly where their time should be going during a silk press.
Together, they create the formula for a 60 minute silk press.
Once you understand the formula, you'll be able to identify where you're losing time and what you need to improve.
