    Grey and silver using Wella

    I've spent an hour this morning doing swatches using all the grey formulas I have from Wella and even creating my own. Not 100% happy. All a bit too blue or too green or too violet. I'm yet to try illumina. Has anyone got some decent formulas using Wella (not interested in trying different...

    Wella Illumina peroxide

    Can anyone tell me why she would use double the volume in her mixtures. It's not pastel she is using so I can't understand why you would double up the peroxide.

    Training with/picking which hair extensions brands.

    I've decided I'd like to train in hair extensions. I've also used the search and can't find the threads that answer my question but I know there's some out there. Sorry for the repetitiveness. What brand would you recommend training with and using? What's so good about the brand you've chosen...

    Covering/masking hypopigmentation.

    I'm assuming it's hypopigmentation which is the lacking in pigmentation? When doing make up, what is best at cover/masking/blending this? I'm not talking about severe cases. I've seen slightly lighter patches around mouths and eyes; it's not totally noticably but it is, if that makes sense? :\

    Courses

    Me again with the course questions. Although I mainly work with L'Oreal and I'm attending the L'Oreal Colour Keys course, I also plan to do the Colour Change course in the future, I was wondering if there are courses available for Wella, Schwarzkopf etc. I booked this course directly through...

    Is Patrick Cameron worth the investment?

    We've just added a bridal package to our price lists and it's about time I started brushing up on my hair ups. I tend to focus on my colouring more but recently started doing a lot more hair ups. I usually just wing them to be honest and they come out better that way. I'm just not totally...

    London Accommodation help!

    At the end of November I'm attending a course at the L'Oreal Academy in Hammersmith. I'm a country girl and I've never been to London so it's all a big mass of scribbles to me! I've been looking at places to stay in Hammersmith and it's going to cost me a fair bit of money just to stay for a...

    L'Oreal Colour Keys + Accommodation

    I've FINALLY booked myself on the L'Oreal Colour Keys course for November 21st + 22nd. Can anyone recommend somewhere nearby to stay? Bear in mind, I do not know London.

    Acne products.

    I have used the search but couldn't find an answer targeting my question. Now, I swear by dermalogica and I've followed a strict skincare routine with them for acne, but this past couple of weeks I feel like my skin has got worse. I'm wondering if it's time for a change of product. What...

    Ease my mind on Hollywood wax please!

    So I want to start getting a regular appointment to have a Hollywood wax. (hope I'm using the right term for all off!) I have a few too many questions first, most I'm sure you've heard many times before. Being that it is a delicate matter and I'm not the most confident person, I'm rather...

    Any charity fundraising ideas?

    I'm signing up to climb Kilimanjaro next September for Macmillan and I'm looking for ideas to help raise money for the climb. I was hoping to use the best of my hair and beauty skills and was wondering what ideas you could throw my way?

    New Tigi shampoo and conditioner ?

    I know not everyone gets on with the same shampoos but a few people I've spoken to have tried the new shampoos and not got on well with it. I bought some of the 'recovery' shampoo and conditioner and it dried my hair out quite bad. I gave it to my mum she said she had the same problem. Then when...

    Your opinions on wigs please!

    I was having a drink in the city with my friend the other day and I saw this girl with lovely red, very long and shiny hair. I remember thinking it must be a wig because I couldn't see any signs of it being extensions. That or she has got a lovely head of hair naturally and a very good...

    What is on my eye??

    Along my lashline, I have a little tiny lump. Kind of like a spot? Doesn't look like a spot but it feels like one. In fact I can't see it much at all but I can really feel it. Does anybody know what it is and why I have it? I don't pull my mascara off, I don't wear contacts, I don't always wear...

    Are YOU a bad client?

    I am a nightmare for having my hair cut. I go to Lincolnshire to get it done because the woman who does it is the ONLY person I feel I can trust to cut it how I want. I also cut most of my own hair because I'm that paranoid but I'm then left with a bit of a mullet because I can't to the bottom...

    Best/Worst tools of the trade.

    I'm interested to see what your favourite and least favourite tools are and hopefully discover something worth investing in! My favourite has to be my kodo kroc clips. I don't know how I ever managed without them. My worst, in fact most HATED is thinning scissors. End of.
