Have you ever tried going down to a 10 vol? Sometimes when covering grey, lifting it with a 20 opens the cuticle enough and doesn't allow the deposit to happen properly, Id suggest trying a patch at the back first before you apply it to her whole head and wasting color, some clients it works...

The extensions look great in those pictures, so there shouldn't be any issue! Maybe she's just one of those clients who complain in hope to get a deal or their money back cause they're cheap!!

The temperature definitely effects the color processing. If your client is cold, their head probably isn't giving out heat like it usually would. If you have a hood dryer, sometimes in the summer when we have the A/C on, I'll turn on the dryer and just put in behind their head to warm up the air...

Joico intensity colors are amazing! last longer than any other brand I have tried, and have great vibrancy! Cant help you out with the permanent line, as I have never used that before

In Canada you cant do hair without being certified, and in a lot of provinces, you cant even just go to school and then work the rest of your life, there are written and practical exams you need to pass before being certified. You'll need to go to cosmetology school first, get all your...

Good luck! I'm sure you'll do fabulous! :)

Yes that sounds like a good plan.. being as the extensions are already ombre that will solve 90% of your trouble.

In my opinion, you aren't going to get a balayage look at all with just extensions and no lifting of her own hair, but ombre is more achievable. I'd place your lighter colour on the bottom and layer the darker on top, texturize the dark to make it give the illusion it is blending down onto the...

Unless the beads are really close to the top of her head, how are they showing??... I would, politely as possible, explain to her that as you already explained, they might be a little tight for the first few days, but after a few days your hair will get used to the weight, and will grow that...

I really like 09V+09NB+crystal clear+ processing solution and sometimes when I want a bit more warmth I'll use 09GB instead of 09NB, the gold adds warmth, but the V and B keeps it from going too warm :)

I wouldn't use the same proxide on her natural hair as the coloured hair or you'll have quite a rainbow to deal with

I don't know much about Elumen, I do know from experience you cant bleach it out of the hair though, and if you try it isn't usually a good turn out.. hair is usually quite fragile, and in my case was REALLY orange because I was trying to remove red. That being said, the colours look beautiful...

Id go by how much would you charge for someone with hair to the middle of their back with the same thickness as this inquiring person? and then Id double that.. hair down to her butt will be a lot of work and a lot of product. Don't discount yourself because she's asking the price.. and I never...

I personally don't think you'll achieve the purple you're looking for without using fashion colors, as V's in permanent color are never as vibrant as fashion colors, and are usually more of a red undertone than blue .. might have to branch away from Wella and pick up some fashion colors in...

I use Redken, and if you're using cover fusion then you're already using a double pigmented color(6NN) (what AcidPerm said they use), so that and 20 vol (6%) should cover, but if that's what you're already using, then have you tried using a 9%? Some of our clients with really resistant grey or...

You did an awesome job!!

I don't think that looks like too many foils, but it really depends how blonde your client wants to be, right? and why are your foils bleeding? you must either be putting the color too close to the root.. do you adjust your foils with your comb after if they have slipped a bit?

I've owned a GHD for 3 years so far, and have had no issues, so don't give up, cause they are awesome, maybe it just happened to be a dud

Well if it isn't too late.. if your clients hair will curl at all, I would put some kind of curl into it just so the little hairs that might poke out of the braid wont be super straight, use a light pomade that isn't too sticky so you can control the fly-aways and keep your sections clean. Id...

No you should be okay to use it right away if it needs it
