    Help with toner?

    If it is the light brown bit on a mushroom then try NXT 9.8 & 9.7 equal parts w/ a little bit of 7.0. I think level 6 isn't going to be visible enough you should also come up at least 2 levels even for a subtle look. Good Luck x

    How to get new clients?

    why don't you ask your current clientele to refer a friend and give them a discount? If they are coming back this may help get a little more people through the door.
