    No liability insurance

    How aweful for you. She should be named and shamed to prevent other hairdressers going through the same ordeal. I bet she was a real trash bag with box dye then a perm . [deleted misogynistic comment] Dont worry nothing will come of it !

    Resistant hair!

    Is your developer new? Had a dodgy 20vol recently same kind of issues you had Tried a new bottle of 20vol different brand and it covered perfectly Sometimes the suppliers and their “stock rotation” are a concern - well here in Australia the heat is a big issue with developers in a warehouse

    Its a shame a creative industry has turned into a figures game Buy an accounting business for ur husband And let the qualified hairdressers do what they do You will find it hard to keep good hairdressers Just a bit of reality for you

    What can my husband do?

    The staff wont respect your husband as he wont understand the process behind the hair colouring and whats involved, in my experience business savvy non hairdressers have been eaten alive by staff who get “pushed” to perform and bring in dollars rather than someone who knows how long services...

    Help on white coverage!

    I would have used Roots 1/2 5.22 1/2 4.0 + 20 vol resistant mix 1:1 Process roots for half processing time Then apply 5.22 with semi developer/converter for the ends for remaining time Not sure why youd use 9% for a tint over coloured hair as colour wont lift colour? As for the 6.34 i get that...

    Best cool ash brands?

    Drop your developer if its not a high % of grey you could possibly get away with like 8.0 8.1 type base colour 1:1 ratio Using 10vol will expose less warmth than 20vol But depends on % of grey [emoji106]
