    Wella illumina/ colour touch

    Thank you for your reply, I usually use 6% but the last time I actually used 4% & left on for around 45 minutes. It was really orange when washed out- in the end I had to put toner on a couple of times. This still got most the orange out but was a little hint there still but actually looked nice...

    DERMALOGICA closed account

    I have just been informed DERMALOGICA has closed my account- I was not aware and only found out as I phoned to try place an order. She says it would be because I haven’t ordered. I made a order just before covid but not made one since as obviously was closed, unable to do facial & had a lot of...

    Lash lift help

    Have a look at lash base- they have shields for people with straight downward lashes (L curl) I haven’t actually tried them yet though. I use flirties too but am going to give the lash base solution a go- the timings are quicker. also they do a eye mask which you put over the cling film- this...

    Bleach/ blonde advice

    Yea that what I thought- the olaplex purple shampoo says it makes hair 3xBrighter. So I think she expected the colour to lift, but really it’s just neutralising the yellow. Im Not that experienced with blondes- this client says her hair dulls really quickly (she never used purple shampoo before...

    Bleach/ blonde advice

    Thank you for your reply. This all sounds great- as she’s only recently had done she is going to wait for her next appointment for this. however she really wants something done with the ends of her hair- Is there anything you would suggest to do to lighten these ends? She does have extensions...

    Is olaplex going to be banned in the uk? Or Europe only?

    Faulty batch - Salon System lash lift

    I have been using salon system for a long time. I use the sachets- I have had three clients now that it hasn’t worked for- these clients are regular, I have used the same rod size as I would normally for them- another therapist I spoke to has said lots of people have been complaining about salon...

    Refund for wax gone wrong

    I done a client an eyebrow wax and tint- it was the second/ third time I have had this client. This time for some reason the skin in her eyebrows have peeled of leaving it scabbed. The temperature of the wax is always the same- she said it didn’t feel too hot so I know it’s not because of the...

    Sorry just to add- I really like molly mad from love islands hair, I can’t workout if she has highlights or all over bleach? Do any of you hairdressers have an idea what she has?

    LVL hasn’t worked

    Thank you both for replying- I used the salon system solutions not LVL this client had her lashes done before and it worked fine- this is going to sound terrible but I didn’t cleanse the lashes before- I never do this and it always comes out fine but it could be possible maybe the lashes had oil...

    LVL hasn’t worked

    I done a LVL on Friday and the lashes didn’t curl- I done what I would normally do, left it ok for the correct time etc. I’m thinking I used the wrong silicone roller size- I used the small ones. If her lashes weren’t that short then could this of been the reason her Lashes didn’t curl? The...

    Patch test reaction lash lift

    I had a client come and have a patch test today for a lash lift then a few hours later she rang and said she has had a reaction. She said her eyes are itchy and red- I put the two solutions behind her ear not on her eyes but could this still give her a reaction to her eyes? She said the area...

    Lash lift problem

    When you wipe of the perm lotion do you use dry cotton pad? If you wipe of the perm lotion so the lashes are mostly dry then apply more glue they should stick back down (maybe wait few seconds for glue to get tacky so it sticks better and hold it down. Do you use cling film on the lashes when...

    Tanning solution help

    I’ve always used fake bake but felt the colour didn’t go dark enough for those wanting slightly darker. I now use LA tan and really like it- there’s lots of different shades but I tend to get the fast tan as it can be used on all clients- the longer it’s left on the darker it goes.

    What to train in, waxing or lashes?

    We do a lot of waxing it’s really popular all year round but I think it’s unusual to do just this- are you looking to do this mobile or get a salon job? From my experience Most salons would want someone who does all treatments not just waxing. Also I’m not sure how popular waxing would be for...
