Hi, I currently use Matrix Light Master 'Lift + Tone' for highlighting hair in foils. It comes as a tub of powder and a separate tube of toning 'cream' that you mix together with developer. I use unbranded developer and use from 1.9% up to max 6%......it lifts very gently and feels safe. My...

My client has previously tinted hair Majirel 8 which had lightened up to a level 10 (if not lighter) ....she has very porous hair that doesn't hold colour well. She wanted the colour breaking up to create more multi tonal look but keep some of the lighter shade, I did lowlights wih Majirel level...

Thank you!!

Hello all! I have a client that I’ve been highlighting to a level 10 for a long time, hair in reasonable condition. We do a lot of highlights so it’s almost a full head of blonde. she wanted to go darker and add some warmth (coppers/reds). I foiled all over with L’Oréal dialight 7.43 and...

Thanks, useful to know!

Ok, thanks for help!

Thank you!

I'm new to doing balayage, not a new stylist and quite confident with foil highlighting etc. I have a couple of questions, I have bought L'Oreal Blond Studio (both types not too sure of the difference!!) and been practicing on a dummy head, I have used up to 30 vol with some lift but not loads...

Hi, I have a client who wants VERY ash (even grey) hair, I highlight it with Matrix colour graphics with the blue toner added and 25vol. then at the backwash I have been doing a 9.11 dialight toner 5vol for approx 5-10 minutes depending on how quickly it grabs but I have also been using a Maria...

Hi all, I'm trying to find a reliable company that sells hair wefts to make your own clip in extensions at trade price. I want to offer the service to brides that I style. If anyone makes their own clip in extensions I'd really appreciate help/advice!! :) X

Ok, so I know that there are LOADS of threads about extensions but I don't think any of them are about CLIP IN hair extensions. I am a wedding hairdresser and I need a wholesale supply of CLIP IN extensions to sell to brides. I need a good supplier that will sell me full head sets in...

I realise that there are lots of threads about extensions on here but I can't find an answer to this question. I do a lot of bridal hair and would like to make my own clip in extensions from wefts, cutting them to the correct length and sewing in clips. I would really love some help on where...

It is a difficult one to answer this as it does depend on the area and your ability. I set up a new mobile business last year, I charge £80 for the brides hair NOT including trial which is £65, bridesmaids £55. I insist on a minimum booking of 3 people for a wedding I also charge extra for...

I found this website to be great wedding hairstyles,photos,updos for brides it has pictures showing step by step of lots of different styles, some are dated but the techniques used are still the same.

No prob Minky!! :lol: Still interested to hear anyone elses views on how they highlight hair ... Where do you start your sections (nape, sides crown? etc), how many sections (hot cross bun or 9 section? etc) what products (bleach, meche, highlift tint?) any other tips and help!!!! :wink2:

Just a quick add on to this topic, I bought one of these basins from Salons Direct, very good thing but you can't fit it and a chair into every bathroom! The waste pipe just goes into the bath (a sink is too high and it wouldn't drain away) but you can also buy a collection tank to catch the...

Hi Minky, no prob posting on my thread it's interesting to read!! By the way I'm a HIM not a HER! :)

NEVER let your client wash off the colour. By all means let them wash their own hair for a cut and blow dry but shampooing colour off is a skilled task. Colour needs to be emulsified and rinsed off properly and that is part of why a client is paying for a hairdresser to come to their home and...

I've just done a 'designer day' at a local bridal boutique shop. They advertised a new collection of dresses and invited young ladies to come on Saturday, have bucks fizz, try on a dress and have the hairdresser trial your hairstyle for you. It was good, I didn't pay anything to be there (you...

Thanks for the advice jrobinson. Does anyone else use meche type products??? Someone suggested that they could be left on the hair a lot longer than bleach so I am keen to hear other people's thoughts on these type of products. It seems as if most companies do a Meche type product like...
