I was lucky enough to win a bursary from the FHBF at the Wella Studios in London on 16th October did anyone else win one?

Hi there, I've got to say I love all aspects of hair extensions, except one are....rebonding, I hate it! Its time consuming and I don't feel the rebonds I use from Balmain are particularly good plus now very expensive. I was considering purchasing a glue gun instead to rebond via the fusion...

I finally took the plunge in January to start using my iPhone for appointments, which is synced with my iPad using iCloud. My problem is I tried to sync with my computer and was warned I would lose 25% of my calendars. I stopped the sync straight away but already lost beginning of January by...

Ok I'm going to do a consultation this week for a last that's had her hair cut short, I've not seen her yet but I'm getting the feeling its short. I always turn away to short hair but she's saying she just wants a Frankie look. Now I'd never put extensions through the top, but would anyone to...

As the title says? Not sure if I'm just stupid but I did my City and Guilds in ladies Hairdressing, Barbering, Manicure, Cosmetic Make-UP about 25 yrs ago (How old do I feel?) anyway for the life of me I can't find the equivalent in NVQ or isn't there one? I'm under no illusions that cosmetic...

Hi Geeks I have a client who put a semi on her hair and would like me to do a permanent the same. I use Affinage but can't get my delivery in time so wondered what anyone else would use. She's a base 5, with no colour apart from that semi, which hopefully will be gone by then. I can pop to the...

Anyone use these products and colours? Any opinions??

Hi I offer Balmain hair and a budget brand, usually Foxy or Lush us, I'm noticing more frequently that my Balmain clients are loosing a lot of bonds, but my budget brands hardly any 2-10 max over 3 months. I have now sent off some samples of hair to Balmain for them to check, even if I'm at...

As the title says.... Do you or don't you? I don't usually as the extensions usually have a good wave in them and my clients like to curl them to match their own or straighten, but after a consultation today this lady has fine almost Afro type hair, therefore am thinking I need curly. I will be...

Good evening skin geeks, I've just popped over from the "other side" hair on other words. I'm seriously thinking of going down the Botox route as getting on a bit and feel I need to challenge this. When u spk to beauty pros I know so many are against this but what do you guys think? Those of...

OMG! I have an extension client whom I fitted a full head of Balmain Prebonded to in December, she has fine hair, but not damaged or fragile, no signs of hairloss, no medication, clear scalp, youngest child 2 years. Therefore no reason not to fit. I removed them last month and refitted, I went...

I have a client that is white base (extremely grey) she was fair before that. I currently use LK 10/7. +10/0, +20 volume. She wasn't happy with her previous hairdresser so asked me to do it, very difficult as I always thought it looked fine. She was worried about going to dark, when I matched up...

Has anyone found the perfect Brazilian blow dry yet? I did then it was banned. Am I asking touch to want one that can be washed within 24 hours? That seems to seal the deal with clients. All answers would be greatly received thank you x

The question is above?? Just wondered what the extensionists amongst us do? I say if they live outside of my town then they must come to me for this, but I will go to them for fitting. 8 out of 10 don't turn up, so I only book them when I'm working from home. Above all if I had to travel 20-30...

Just wondered on your views? I joined at Salon International, I'm not sure I've received anything for my £55, still waiting for my Wella discount, i rang to be told there was a back log at Wella. Emailed local rep to introduce myself, not even had a reply. Bit disappointed. )-:

Boo hoo! I've had a pants day )-: I have a new client, not totally new as trimmed her hair a few time, Brazilianed it etc, but never coloured until last week. She's not been happy with her usual hairdresser so asked me to step in, she was happy with the results. Anyway she asked me to fit some...
