Hello all, I've used these a few times and they seem to say 18 months on the bottles, however I've noticed a colour change once opened, from relatively clear to quite dark. Has anyone had any experience of this and are they still OK to use?

Hello all, Has anyone experienced banding with this range? I have a client that I've been using half 10N and half 9N and I can see banding. I've seen this happen with double pigmented shades in other colour lines before, but never with standard shades. Anyone else seen this? Thanks

Hello all, I'm looking for some advice on toning hair thats been pre-lightened to level 9 / 10. I used Redken shades EQ to tone last week, but it seems to have washed out already. I use Olaplex no1 during lightening and no2 afterward, so the hair is in pretty good condition. The client would...

Hi, Just a question on toning. I had previously done highlights on a client, bleaching to around level 8 and toning with Wella CT 8/38 and 8/71. I was just wondering, will this still give the same result if the hair lifts to level 9 or 10, or will a different formula need to be used. Just trying...

Hello all, Looking for some advice on colour formula for this client. Base / root normally done with Matrix socolor 7n and 7ma mixed 50/50 with 20 vol and air touch highlights done every 3rd or 4th visit. Looking to get base a bit lighter as its getting more grey, especially in the front. I'd...

Hello all, Looking for some advice. I have a client who I colour with Koleston - I use half 8/38 and half 10/1 with 30 vol and it comes out a lovely colour. I usually apply to roots and pull through the rest for the last 10 mins. I was just thinking if would be better to use colour touch on the...

Hello all, I'm looking for some advice with Koleston. I've got a friend who's asked me to start doing her hair, due to costs at her salon. She gets her roots done each time and every 3rd or 4th visit she gets some bleached foils put through to brighten it up. She says her roots are done with...

Hi all, I have a client who is a base of approx. 4. Currently T bar highlighted and toned with Colour Touch. I am looking at changing to full head using the airtouch technique. I am also thinking about trying Redken shades EQ for toning, as I like the look of them, especially the VG range. I...

Hello, Can anyone give help with this range, in terms of the tonal codes they use. I'm interested in their cans as they are 250ml and I think represent good value. I have a client who is a base of around 4/5 and I highlight with bleach and lowlight with a cool shade at level 7/8. They have a...

Hello all, I recently bleached my hair and then applied Wella Colour Touch 3 parts 9/96 to 1 part 8/81. It was very smoky ash at first, but after only 4 or 5 washes its really washed out. Any ideas on why this is happening? I'll attached pics from day 1, after 2 days and now (5 days) Thanks

Hello all, I have a client who i normally do a T bar of bleach foils highlights and colour with a cool Wella shade in between. I've been doing this for years and as she has gotten older she has gotten a bit more grey, although she is still pretty dark, considering her age (74) She does like her...

Hello all, Does anyone have any experience with this range? I was having a look at them and they have some nice shades, in particular 8-140. I have a few older clients who this range could suit. I'd be interested to know if the colours are true to shade and if they work with the hairs own...

Hello everyone, Can anyone recommend a nice cool beige blonde colour (for post lockdown obvs) Client is 73, although looks much younger and is mostly white on top, 50 / 50 on sides and maybe 30 to 40% grey in the back. I would like to keep the variation in the lightness and not be all uniform...

Hi, My niece has asked me to do some highlights or balayage for her. She has virgin hair that's around a base of 4 and past shoulder length. I'm not keen on using bleach and she doesn't want it really light blonde anyway. I was wondering if I used a mix of hightlift tints, I could get it lifted...

Hi, I have a client in her mid 40's with long layered hair, who is a natural base 4 - 5 with about 10 - 15% white, mostly in the front. She currently has Igora 5.63 (chocolate matt) on the roots and grown out balayage in the ends, at approx level 9. She wants to go lighter but keep the balayage...

Hello, Can anyone recommend a nice warm chestnut shade.....maybe around level 7. I've gone through loads of shade charts but nothing is jumping out. Thanks

Hi, I'm looking to do a makeover on my mum who is 71. She looks fab and would easily pass for 55 - 60. She is probably 60 to 70% white these days and is currently coloured with Koleston 88/0. I'm looking at doing a soft reddish shade (Was thinking about Majirel 7.52 maybe?) and putting a few...
