    Toner advice, I’m freaking out!

    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...

    Grey/silver back to blonde

    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.

    Strange questions

    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!

    Balayage cost

    Hi all, Just a quick q for the home stylists, what do you charge for balayage? I currently charge £70 or £95 depending on if their roots need tinting too. I honestly feel I should be charging more? Balayage is what I do every day and I like to think its my most skilled service.. but was...

    Developers

    Hi all, I currently use goldwells permanent colours and I also use the goldwell developer in 10, 20, 30 and 40vol. I recently started thinking of using my wholesalers own brand of developer. Do you notice any difference when using a different branded developer than the brand of your colour? I'm...

    Upset client

    Hi all! I just had one of those days... Feeling insecure about my knowledge and skill after leaving a client unhappy with her hair. I very rarely have a client that isn't happy and it shakes me up every time. I don't know if this is something that comes with experience but I HATE the feeling of...
