Hi all, the time has finally come, I've finished uni and now looking to get into a salon full time. Have been messed about a couple of times already, and promised junior stylist places (as im only qualified to level 2) that have since fallen through for no real reason. Keeping on applying but...

I met with a salon owner today who is looking to rent another chair out at his salon. He isnt a stylist he merely bought the business as an investment, everyone is self employed with their own client base and he just lets them get on with it. The salon itself is a bit of a blank canvas as its...

Went to aston and fincher today to get some tigi bleach, the shop had none and their staff tried to tell me it was discontinued? I ended up buying blondor as a stand in because I have a client soon and didnt have time (or really want to go to sallys but wish I had now) to shop about. Anyway, a...

So in the absence of any further training that i can get my hands on at uni (waiting on affinage to bring out some more colour courses at my wholesalers, they're being long about it), I have signed up to myhairdressers and that's got me wondering about full head bleaches. Its the technique I...

I am moving back from uni for the summer in a few weeks and think its a bit pointless trying to find a badly paid bar job or similar when I am qualified and enjoy freelance. The only thing is, I have gotten really comfortable with only doing clients through word of mouth and generally people...

I posted a thread the other week about a client who has a frizzy patch of hair at the back of her head, a change in texture compared to her usual straight hair. I advised her as to what it could be but told her it might be a good idea to go to the doctors as i believe it could be hormonal. I...

Have another thread running but this is a completely different topic so thought it more appropriate to start a new one. My client has come back to me after going travelling with a different texture to her hair, but its just one patch. The rest of it is fairly straight but this patch from the...

Does anyone use these? How do they compare to other semis? I'm using bits and pieces at the moment, but looking for some really long lasting colours, though i know its relative to how the hair is treated afterwards. Thanks

Hopefully this link works, Facebook Anyway, this was my first project for uni (photography) and has had the best feedback as my tutors are intrigued about the way we use hair as a medium of sculpture.. which of course would seem normal to us but apparently its innovative to academics ha. Ive...

SO got client with black xxl but its the "salon style" one, Ive never had a problem removing black boy dyes before. Lots of colour build up on the ends and midlengths. I tried goldwell system remover as thats the only colour remover i can get my hands on at short notice and that didnt do a...

http://cdn.blogs.sheknows.com/celebsalon.sheknows.com/2011/02/rihanna-hairstyle1.jpg Ive got a client wanting that fire hair ombre thing that was on modern salons facebook page, but with the red base being like the photo. Think she's about a base 5, any suggestions on what mix I could use? I...

As above really, this is the second time i've been dissapointed in the results. Both times the colours have looked like theyve come out nicely, but wash and dry and it looks as though they were never applied. I left them on for long enough, followed the right instructions etc. Today was at...

Helloo, I will have finished my VRQ level 2 course in the next month (hurrraay) which is very early considering college officially doesnt finish til july. I want to use the next 6 months to work and save up money until i go to uni, but a bit bummed out that I wont get my certificates until...

Helloo Ive come over from hair :) Im currently nearly finished on my VRQ 2 in hairdressing but through this site I have been reading up on nails and getting really interested in training to do those as well. I come from a fine art background so just love the idea of creative nails and really...

Heya Im half way through my level 2 and dont trust anyone at college to do my hair so i do it myself at home. Its relatively short still and i bleach my roots using Affinage Ice Creme, but every time I use it with 6% (ive also tried 3%) my scalp is very sensitive and I cant seem to keep the...

http://images.wikia.com/batman/images/1/1e/Poison-ivy-uma.jpg This is the colour my client wants to be. She has full head bleach with about 6 months regrowth and probably about a base 7 naturally. Im thinking a quasi i.e. colourtouch but will i need to prepig first? Whatever I use will...

I applied to be an apprentice at the toni and guy in my town and I have the interview on friday. I am planning on taking a portfolio along with me as Im part way through my level 2 at college now so wouldnt be a complete beginner. Can anyone help me out on what to expect, questions to ask, any...

Ive just finished my level 1 and not very keen to go back to the regional college I was at because the standard of teaching was so low and I felt like I didnt want to spend another year there just to become a mediocre hairdresser with not much confidence.. as Ive seen happening to the girls in...

I shaved my head into a chelsea cut a year and a half ago, since then i had it in a pixie, then half shaved with the rest at about 3 inches, and now its back into a pixie with a side fringe which is an inch past my eyebrow at the longest. Whats the best way to grow it out? Ive already tried...

I've got short hair thats been bleached all over so I could put in semi crazy colours. Now getting a bit bored of them but I know I won't be able to bleach the blue out because it will more than likely going a nasty green yellow colour. Also have half inch of roots that I want to keep so was...
