PSA for iPhone from the app store. Appointment book and record keeping also.

Clients that answer the phone or wait till they get in the chair to make phone calls, who then need a pen from their bag and for us to turn down the music so the person on the end of the phone doesn't know they are out of the office. One lady would come in and the first thing she did was plug...

bleach out super blonde, hated it, out comes black demi, regretted it, more bleach and some more, almost there but whoops that third bleach out took it just a bit too far. Out came the clippers and I went to work the next day bald. I left the fried destroyed mess where it belonged, in the bin...

I hope you still charged her on the day even if she said she didn't like it.. Some people think that if the say that don't like it then they get a free do, especially if money is tight.

Schwarzkopf is really nice with lots of shine and excellent grey coverage and little fading. Yes the numbering system is difficult to get used to in the beginning but becomes second nature very soon. I just made sure I recorded the name of the color as well as the numbers eg medium copper...

to help reduce fade try reducing the water content of the mix by mixing upping the amount of colour and lowing the amount of developer but increasing the strength of developer to maintain the working volume. Its Called colour concentration pioneered by Kathy from Planet Hair Color, you can find...

My apprentice has tape extensions however she found that they slipped and didn't stay in long. That was until she started using double sided tape from the hardware store, now they don't budge. No idea how she uses it or what brand it is, he boyfriend puts them in for her.

Understanding the base tone of Copyright might help with achieving your desired result. I am not familiar, but the /0's may have a warm base therefore giving you a ginger result. Wipe some raw tint on white cotton wool, it will give you an indication of its base tone as it develops, this will...

PurePact is very nice for the basin area, full of essential oils and creates an experience of the shampooing. purepact is the website for a further look

Love the idea of the shoe water proofing spray. What do you use to get it out?

I have a client who is super sensitive but is really insistent that I still do the colour. I mix in 2 sachets of Equal artificial sweetener. This works really well, I have no idea how or why, it may even be psychosomatic. The idea is not my own I got it from hairdressers in the US. We also use...

To bump up the overtone you could use concentrates. I always had drama getting a real looking copper with wella until I started using the concentrates.

I think pricing comes down to your skill level and what you can get away with. If you had to choose between an annoying pig who was only so-so at doing hair, but cheap and a good looking well educated stylist that is a tad on the expensive side, who would you choose? I think the good sort with...

how do you guys, being mobile, manage to perform the skin allergy test? Given you would have to visit the client and incur expenses, do you charge for this? A few years back there used to be a self test swab in a sachet for the clients to do themselves, do you use this sort of thing instead?

I usually use a neutral or sometimes a cooler tone, Ive never used a warm tone for this unless in the rare case the client is quite golden, but even then the end result after the raw ( N ) tint is applied and processed it's not flat. It all depends on the the base of the range tho, like Paul...

I used to be so obsessed with bleeding and making sure i didnt get any, I would use thin strips of cotton wool between almost every foil ( took for ever ) Then the clients started asking what I was using the cotton wool for, it turned out that I was more concerned then they were. Unless its on...

Just after I started reading this thread yesterday, I had a client come in for a colour. We were doing the consultation and she told me that she wanted me to "just use the colour I had last time, I really love the colour I have now" she also added " It has faded, but I don't want it any darker"...

If the result that you were after wasn't obtainable with your hair or needed more that one visit to give you the finished look then the stylist should have made you aware of it during consultation. If you were promised your desired style in one visit and you didn't get what you wanted than you...

I would like to one day give the client exactly what she asks for, 3 layers? SURE and cut 3 steps into her hair. A fringe but not a full fringe? ABSOLUTELY, shave have it off. Short but long? OF COURSE! you did mean an undercut right? Blonde but black? lets lighten to Marilyn blonde and tone...

it is most likely the developer and exposing the under lying pigment in her hair. I would give using a demi ago. Deposit only and no lifting of the undertone. We use Keune semi equal parts and get 100% coverage. There are a few ash tones at a level 7 in the range. 7.2 springs to mind the rest I...
