Anyone else not feel comfortable with all these new hair trends like balayage and all these bright/pastel colours and techniques. I feel like I'm slipping so far behind. I have my own salon and work alone so have no one to watch or practise with. I like to stick with my regular clients who have...

What product brand does everyone retail? How well do they sell? What do you say to your clients to buy? Do you have samples for them? I don't currently retail but really want to start. However I am possibly the cheapest salon in my area and attract a lot of clients who don't have much money, so...

Hey all, can anyone recommend any hot holiday destinations for end of December/ beginning of January? That's the only time of the year I can go on holiday as I have my own salon and this becomes the quietest time of the year. I've already done a Caribbean cruise and Tenerife.

Hey all! It's mine and my boyfriends 2 year anniversary on Wednesday. I know it's not a very special occasion but I would like to do something nice to show I care. I need ideas on what I can make him or do for him. Bare in mind we both live with our parents so it's hard to cook meals for each...

Hey! Can anyone recommend any hair salon management/ business books? There are so many online, don't know which are worth buying. I'm uk, so ideally a book written in the uk.

I had a client call today asking when I did her hair last because her grey is coming through really bad. I checked and it was 4 weeks ago??! What do I even say? I said it's probably just her regrowth coming through but told her to pop in tomorrow so I can check. What do I say to her without...

Does anyone use these toners and what do you think? Can you only use these when the hair is a certain colour? Do some only tone yellow based hair, orange hair etc?

Does anyone else suffer really bad headaches in hairdressing? I've been having them so bad lately and don't know whether it's down to colouring products or my posture or something else. I know I should wear a mask when mixing colours which I haven't done so will try this but I think it's when...

Has anyone used this? It's a bleach and toner? I don't understand how this works, so it will lift for example a natural level 6 up to then tone it to a grey? I don't quite understand the colours. I may be sounding dumb but I don't get it.

I have a client who started off with coloured black hair which we have spent a great deal of time lightening to a clear blonde to get grey. We have been used the igora silver whites grey lilac and silver mixed. However she thinks it's too dark and wants a little lighter. She also doesn't really...

Hey, my stylist informed me today that she is handing her notice in so I'm in the process of finding a new self employed stylist. Baring in mind I am based in Blackpool which is not an expensive area, I need help deciding how to go about getting my next stylist. Should I charge rent to use the...

Has anyone used the "sexy spray and play" hairspray? I've seen a great offer on them but have never used it. Any feedback would be great x

Am I right in thinking if you don't have your electrical equipment pat tested and there was a fire in your property because of a faulty hair dryer for example. Does this mean your insurance would not cover you?

How does everyone go about waste disposal. By law do salons need to purchase either the bin or the bags to dispose waste?

As the title says really, what are the best foundations for coverage but are cruelty free. I was really dissappointed to find Mac products are tested on animals. I'm new to makeup so want to start building a kit

Does anyone know of any makeup courses around Blackpool?! I can't find any anywhere! The closest seems to be Manchester. I've tried the college but they are all full time courses which I can't do because of work.

Had a client in yesterday who is a natural 6 base. we usually do blonde highlights through cap using a high lift tint to get it to a clear blonde as she doesn't like bleach. However, she said she wanted to try a full head colour this time. I did warn her that it will look so much different as...

I have a client who started off black, we have had a fair few sessions of pre lightening her hair to remove it all and to try and get to a clear blonde. As you can see from the images, the top of her hair has lightened really well but the ends have just seemed to give up. This client has been...
