Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone here is a business owner who has had to pay statutory maternity pay for an employee before? Basically I qualify for SMP and am due to start maternity leave today. However my boss has stuck his head in the sand and basically told me he doesn't know how it...

Hey everyone, I have a huge problem regarding a colour I attempted yesterday that I wasnt feeling comfortable in. Without going through the full long story, basically I done this colour on a new client and it didn't turn out as I expected. Half an hour before closing time I decided to redo it...

Hey guys, have came back here after 2 years of being inactive. Basically I went on the floor 1.5 years ago and have gradually built up a decent clientele in the salon where I've been for the past 3 years. I love doing hair and I strive to be the best that I can be, but due to the position I...

Repeated question alert!! Sorry guys but I haven't been on here for months since I started my level 3 in college and having a hard time finding what I'm looking for by searching the forum. Basically I go on the floor and have my first client this Monday (eeek) who is looking for an ombre. I...

Hey guys Im in my level 3 and have a lady coming tomorrow for a cut and blowdry. She sent me this attatched picture of her hair just now and this is the way she is wanting to keep it. I'm confident in uniform cuts and shorter hair in general but I haven't done a cut this 'bitty' before. I was...

Hey guys Im looking for advice on pay/daily rates etc. and can't seem to find anything online. According to a stylist in my work, there is a law concerning my issue which is 'set' by the national hairdressing federation and basically I am trying to find some set in stone info about this matter...

Hey guys was looking for a little bit of advice here... Basically I never received my P60 this year and now that I'm applying for something to do with my child's nursery fees I'm needing a hold of it. Asked my boss 3 weeks ago and he said he would get in touch with the accountant for me and get...

Hey geeks not posted in a while but wondered if any of you could help me. Basically I am a 21 year old junior and get paid by hour (£6.50) which is nmw and is fine. It's only in the past few weeks a few of the stylists in my work have started making digs towards me because I get paid by hour...

I have a model coming today wanting her hair cut into the style of Frankie Sandfords (cut around the ear at one side and sloping down towards the chin on the other). I was just wondering the best way to go about this? My thoughts were to part from nape to crown, take one side and cut it as if it...

Hey guys, is it the norm to have the same wage when moving from junior to being fully on the floor? I know as long as I'm getting nmw then it's acceptable but even though it's not all about the money, it just breaks my heart a little knowing I'm going to be paid the same amount for taking in...

Not quite sure where to start here as the whole thing is a bit embarrassing for me but I don't know who else to speak to that isn't my fiance. I'm starting to feel as though I may have social anxiety and wanted to hear from others who may have it too. Ever since having my little girl a year ago...

...long graduation? I never had to do it whilst doing my level 2 (got very crap in house training) and no tutor/assessor/trainer has ever mentioned it to me until my level 3 tutor mentioned it last week. I understand what graduation is and I'm completely confident at cutting short grad. Is it...

Girl in training question alert!!! Have just been wondering in what cases do you mix different level of bases and tones? I understand if you run out of - for instance - an 8 then you would mix a 7 and 9 at a 1:1 ratio... But I've noticed the stylists doing this to achieve a particular colour...

Hey guys! Little wedding question for all those who are married... Looking to book our wedding in the next few months and we are on a bit of a budget so have decided to go for a midweek wedding. I was just wondering if anyone who has had one could tell me if through the week really affected...

Ok so this may be long so bear with me. My friend is coming in to have her colour corrected by myself as a practice for my colour correction assessments. Basically she had been doing her regrowth herself and has some fantastic red root glow! She has been using the same semi-perm box dye for...

Just found this on pintrest. I've never heard of this until now! Has anyone else? Or anyone who does this? I understand that your hair could be more voluminous but won't the shampoo just remove all the work that conditioner has just done? 😟 http://itsafabulouslife.com/wash-hair-right-way/

About to practice balayage on my Sally head but not wanting to use colour yet as I've just bought her! What could I use instead of bleach? Have used flour and conditioner for practising foils before but it just goes all sticky! X

This may be the stupidest thing I've ever asked 😂 but I was just about to do a washing and forgot I ran out of fabric softener yesterday... I've heard of people using fabric softener on their hair when they have no conditioner (never tried it, would never risk.it) BUT how do you think...

Hey guys you may or may not have seen my post earlier this week about me getting fired on the spot after being verbally abused by my boss... But anyways I was just wondering if anyone could help. Tomorrow I'm going to visit my (ex)boss to ask for my holiday money that Im due. I've calculated...

Absolutely devastated, right in the middle of the day as well. Got shouted and swore off by my boss while being pointed in the face before he told me I was a 'vile human being' and to leave the salon immediately. Can't describe how upset I am :(
