    How do I fix these loose hairs, my hair looks weird?

    I use Paul Mitchell Super Skinny serum in my hair. It has a light scent that is definitely unisex. A little goes a long way - I'm not even a quarter of the way through the 250 ml bottle I bought in October.

    American exclusive products?

    The silly part comes in when you try to move from state to state and the requirements trip you up. ;) Yes, you probably would. Most states work on an hours system...in mine, North Carolina, you have to do 1,500 hours in school. Many will let you use a certain number of work hours to count for so...

    American exclusive products?

    That really depends on which state you moved to. They all have different licensing requirements. Some may make you go back to school, re-take the exams, etc. It all depends on the state and your actual situation.

    American exclusive products?

    I'm not sure if CosmoProf or SalonCentric would accept a UK certificate. They might...all you can do is try! I've used Verb...I really like it, and a bit of Onesta, but only on myself. I currently use O&M, however.

    American exclusive products?

    I don't think Verb or Onesta are available outside of the US yet. Even cheaper from CosmoProf or SalonCentric. ;)

    What is it like to booth rent?

    Booth rental is a good way to go, but only if you have the ability to pay the rent (of course) and have somewhat of a client base. You can do it without a clientele, but I would only recommend it in a place you can build one. You are free to use whatever products you like, set your own hours...

    Demis without a unique developer?

    In the US, Matrix Color Sync now shares the same developer as SoColor, but I don't know if it's the same in the UK. TIGI copyright colour's permanent and demi lines share the same developer.

    Tigi truelight violet or white?

    You can do from 1:1 to 1:2, depending on the consistency you want.

    How to get your hours in Ontario?

    If the Ministry of Training of Colleges and Universities is your hairdressing regulatory body, then I'm guessing they have the final say in a situation such as yours. What is the Ontario College of Trades? How do they relate to the MTCU? Perhaps you could take your query up with them.

    Damaged hair after perm

    If perm solution is left on the hair for too long, it can actually break the disulfide bonds so much that the hair will be left straight and not able to hold a curl. Further processing will just make the hair straighter. I'm not saying that is what happened here, as I don't know the condition of...

    Francesco Group foiling, would you?

    I don't know why they would do it like that. It seems silly. All I can think is that they're trying to be different.

    £150 for a chair

    I know. I was just commenting on the difference between the areas in the countries. Sorry if I caused any confusion.

    £150 for a chair

    It's interesting seeing the prices charged in England compared to the ones around here in North Carolina. I was paying $95 a week, which is about £58 right now. The highest I've heard of in the immediate area is $125/£75 a week.

    Cutting boys hair, basic layer?

    I'd probably just do a uniform layer cut, then texturise it.

    Need to find a good ammonia free permanent colour

    I know. My point was just that the ammonia free colour in one line might not be necessarily the same as the ammonia free colour in another line. I would certainly hope not, anyway!

    Word processor for iPad

    If you can tell us what format the document is in, we might be able to help you figure out why it won't let you edit it.

    Word processor for iPad

    Pages is excellent on OS X. I've never tried it on an iPad. What kind of files won't it let you open?

    Need to find a good ammonia free permanent colour

    I know Matrix is owned by L'Oreal, but that doesn't mean the products are the same. L'Oreal also own Redken, and L'Oreal Professionel, Redken and Matrix are all sold in SalonCentric, and Matrix and Redken are sold in CosmoProf, here in the USA. What would be the point in having three brands if...

    Need to find a good ammonia free permanent colour

    You could try Matrix COLORINSIDER. I have seen hairdressers speak positively of it. Salon Supplies, Alan Howard, and Aston and Fincher stock it.

    State Board

    I took my state board exams in North Carolina, so I can't speak for California specifically, but these are my tips: 1. REMEMBER YOUR SANITATION! It is extremely important, and could mean the difference between passing and failing if you forget to sanitize your hands, close the trash bag...
