Hi, advice on how you’d go about this: New client, lower half of her hair is block colour high lift tint so I’m told, but looks bleached as so light, hair is about arm pit length, and mid section was highlighted half head with bleach and highlift by the looks of it, (about 4” long) and now wants...

In the uk where can I find a nice wide kimono style gown? My wholesalers do some but they’re slim fit, fine but not good for anyone plus side of a 18 size, I have barber gowns since covid but hate that they fasten at the back where I need to cut sometimes, My old gowns pre covid from my...

So looking for Wella colour ideas to get from bleach blonde level 10, (short hair) to the picture attached, natural level 7 with lots of grey at temples and then some grey scattered throughout, an inch worth of roots, As this is a warm colour I’m thinking wouldn’t need to pre pig the hair...

Hello, my client is looking to go natural after home dying her hair for years, She’s about a level 7 I’d say with patchy grey, but I never see much roots to be 100% sure on base colour, as I only ever cut her hair, I’m thinking of using bleach 6%, and maybe 7/0 + 7/1 to break up existing...

I don’t generally do OAP sets, but I’ve got a new client and it doesn’t matter what I use her curls do not stay in for more than a day or two? I’m mobile but generally use Wella & wholesaler products, So far we’ve had to use T-gel to wash her hair in due to scalp issues, I’ve used a setting...

Hi, does anyone have any tips for a mobile hairdresser for washing clients hair if they have a wet room? There is a tiny sink, (she has long hair) and the bathroom is just a wet room due to disabilities so no bath, just shower attachment on the wall and sink is super tiny, I can’t wash at the...

Hi, I have a client who previously had highlights by me just in the parting & sides alternating Koleston 10, and 8/07, before that she’d never had hair coloured before and it’s very long hair, no grey, She wants it a lot lighter like Balyage but as I’ve never trained in that I won’t attempt it...

Hi my client has mostly only grey hair at front but still dark at back (about level 7), I’ve been using kol 9/0 with 9/16 & 9/81 as she has a lot of warmth, 6% on front and 12% at back, it’s a lovely neutral colour but she now wants grey ash colour instead, any formulas you’d recommend using...

Hi, I don’t do many of these, but had a client who had kp55/46 and it’s so stubborn to lift out so we’ve decided to try a colour remover, my wholesaler suggested NXT, which I got, and I’m doing the service on Tuesday- my question is what do you price this service as??

I did a clients first ever colour yesterday and she has really long hair almost 2/3 down her back, she said today her root area feels tight (bit like if you’ve had hair scraped back into tight ponytail all day) No visible redness or itching I saw no broken skin or bleeding from the highlights...

Hi, I’ve tried to ask Olaplex via message directly and twice they haven’t actually answered the question, can I use No.1 & No.2 treatment on someone who is 13? They’ve said it’s sulphate free and non toxic, but I didn’t know if there was a recommended age?
