I’m based in the North East of England and have been asked to do a perm for a clients mother. I’ve never offered them in my salon as my typical clients are not of the elderly age group but since lockdown lots of people are asking me to do their relatives. I have looked online and am just not...

I was told by the lady at our wholesalers that as I was now a qualified hairdresser that she could now sell me this to use on hi-Lift tints but on the side of the bottle it says it needs diluting to 40 vol before use! I’m confused therefore about whether there’s any point in having this one...

My client has 4d curly hair which she colours the roots of black using home box colours and is looking to have some bleach added to just the ends to give them definition. I have done a strand test with 20 vol bleach and 30 vol and the 30 lifted better but took over an hour. I’m super...

Hi, I was hoping I could pick your brains please? I’ve recently completed the shampoo and conditioning elements of my college course and have been approved by my insurers to carry out wash & blow drys plus deep conditioning treatments so I need to start stocking a professional shampoo and...

Ive been running my own massage/beauty business for around 4 years but have been offered the opportunity of expanding into the next door room and am unsure whether to take the leap or not. My current rent is £50pw which will go up to £110pw if I take it but I’m now only working 3 days a week...

I had a client in today and had a mare with her lash lift. I only recently qualified and although I used salon services products when I trained, it was recommended to use Elleebana as they had been reported as equivalent to LVL. The trainer had told us to use a small rod on short to medium...
