    Brightest red without pre lightening?

    Hi We're a matrix salon and we absolutely swear by the sr range of lifting reds they really do lift phenomonally including existing colour not just natural colour. If the client has a root, you shouldnt need to put the sr directly on the scalp - 7rr+ may be enough with a 30vol/40vol maybe...

    Solaris tan

    Hi geeks, Has anyone had any experience with Solaris spray tan? I've used it a few times, some times its lovely - some times the feedback has been that it goes very scaly and you just can't get the stuff off. I know most go patchy inevitably, but this more so (like snake skin look!) Just...

    Matrix dream age!!

    Color graphics are amazing. I use it all the time and it never fails me. of course just like any colour or bleach - if you've got a natural root and heavily coloured ends youre looking at 2 mixtures anyway to achieve an even result. It isn't a miracle worker but does make life a lot easier...
