Ah that makes sense.. God I've been so worried all night on how to make it right. She wanted a brunette balayage, a few level 7/6 tones running through as her natural root is a level 5. Because of the balayage placement I can't really do a bleach and water cleanse as it will be hard to apply. Do...

Guys I am freaking out. I had my client come in today for her usual balayage and tone. She wanted the toner a little darker so we lifted to a level 9/10 as usual. I would normally tone with goldwell colorance 9na and 10v. This time we toned with 7na and 6b. Her hair has gone a really strange...

So I have a client who back in August had her hair coloured grey. I used a balayage technique and then toned with goldwell 8sb+6sb 1:1. Colour was fab. Now she would like to go for a blonde balayage. What is the best way around this? I don't have any experience with colour removers and I feel...

My tutor said something in comparison to a restaurant that always stuck, similar to this. You wouldn't go to a steak restaurant and bring your own steak and then ask them to cook it for you.

Hahaha! For gods sake, cheap hair ain't good and good hair ain't cheap I was always told

The "can you reccomend a box dye" qs are the worstttt!!

I work as self employed and run my business mainly through Instagram. Which means people can direct message me to book. This is amazing, but I also get the strangest questions and requests! Someone messaged me at midnight last night asking if I can put her own henna made hair dye on her hair for...

I haven't used a clear before, no. Good suggestion on leaving the hairline until the last few minutes, I'll be watching it like a hawk!

Hi all, so I've never had this problem before and then suddenly in the last month I've had it 4 times! I go about my usual balayage or highlights, using goldwell oxycur bleach, and then tone with typically 10v+8sb like I usually do for hair that is too warm. It has always been my go to for...

Yeah I use colorance, 2:1 ratio. Make sure you watch it though because it does take quickly on level 9/10 hair

Goldwell 8sb + 6sb. Fab grey!

Ohh love the idea of painting the toner on as apposed to the lighter. That way I could still foil each section with toner applied and go in with lowlights afterwards. Thank you!

Hi all. So usually with balayage I start with a dark canvas, which makes it really easy to paint the lightener exactly where I want it, then tone etc. I have a lady booked in for balayage who currently has blonde highlights around a level 9. I've only had this once before and I added some low...

I'd say get the hair to a nice level 9/10. I don't use Wella but I love using goldwells 8sb + 10v. I adjust the ratio depending on how much warmth is left in the hair. But it always works a dream

From experience, once you do a service for free or with some money off, people become expectant of it each and every time. (usually they're the people that give nothing back). It's a hard topic to approach because business and friends don't mix too well. Especially if she's always been the...

That's brilliant, big well done to you. Sometimes it feels like you're the only one that wants to make a change so it's so nice to hear that others want to as well. Like you said, it's a small change but imagine if every salon across the world did it. Plus it feels better from a self love point...

I forgot to log back on and check my replies! Thank you all so much for your responses and for the ideas. I had no idea you had to throw a file away after use... That's crazy. I think the hair and beauty industry needs to change personally. I know a lot of things need to change on top of this...

I know, it's so frustrating. I've been trying to do a lot of free hand work as the environment is very important to me but certain services require foil unfortunately.

Used.

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to cut down waste in the salon? I'm sick of throwing tons of foils away everyday and contributing to all the throw away crap we have on this planet. I've already switched to different reusable gloves. But I just wondered if anyone has any...
