    Blowdry frizzy roots

    Hi. Just an idea for your frizzy roots. I have a few clients with roots that tend to frizz up. What I tend to do get a vent brush right into the root to smooth the root then continue with a round brush to blow dry. I find if the root is properly dried before I go on to the end it help keep...

    Dry hair

    Just a thought! Did you rinse out the bleach yourself or do you have trainees? If the bleach wasn’t rinsed away properly this could result in this situation.

    Colour removing advice

    Thanx. Yes her natural base is probably a 6 or even a 5 with about 20% grey at the front I’m using Quif strip off. Never thought of that was hoping not to need any bleach. Yes I know about the reoxidising. Will probably have to strip it a few times

    Colour removing advice

    Hi Geeks. I’ve got a client wanting to go from a tinted base 4 to a 7. I’m going to use colour remover then go in with a 9 as I believe you need to colour 2 shades lighter than your desired level. Any tips or advise?

    Toner help

    Matrix 5 min toners are fantastic at the back wash!

    Cool ashy formulas to cover golden lights

    Matrix do 5 minute toners. They are fab. The anti yellow would be perfect. You have to watch them and rinse as soon as you get your desired result. They also do some new acid toners. They are fab too!

    Matrix colour opinions

    I love Matrix. I changed from igora royal a few years ago. I would say the bases are slightly darker than others. They do a good Grey coverage range too so a 4 would be a 504

    Direct toners (non developer)

    Matrix cult is fab for vibrant fashion colour and can be diluted with clear for more pastel shades. I’m loving matrix at the moment. They’ve just launched 5 minute toners and acid toners too

    ‘Mates rates’

    I’d say work out her price list and say all she can do is off a 5% or 10% discount for close friends and family. So she can build up a clientele Just stick to what works best for her. Also doing a Sunday should have a higher rate to start anyway Good luck to your disgusted and start as you mean...

    Which tan?

    I’m a hair person but having had lots of spray tans my favourite is the St Tropez Express Tan. Develops really quick and can rinse if within a few hours for a light tan or the full 6 hours for darker. Hope this helps
