I'm using a range at the minute called montibel.lo. Their a Spanish range and I've been using them for roughly a year. Before this I always used igora. Aswel as using these I've been trialling a few different ranges that offer 100ml tubes and where permanent and semis is all one range just...

I'm 4 months pregnant and I've been looking at being able to claim MA. I've read you can claim it from 26 weeks (which I will to allow how long it takes to file things lol). Anyway has anybody applied for this before? What will I need to take with me to apply for it?

How long do you have to leave after using kg before colouring? Or if I coloured the hair first would I be able to use kg a couple of days afterwards or would it strip the colour?

I know we're meant to embrace them, but I've tried and can't. I've got some from puberty but when I was pregnant (7 years ago) I ballooned and am now covered in them. As it was a long time ago they're faded, but they're there. Has anyone tried anything that does actually work on them?

I've got a client who's a level 3 naturally. She has about 2" re growth then colour on the rest (a warm 3). She wants a complete change we're aiming for 7 all over with some fine bleach foils through. She knows this will be a work in progress. I'm going to bleach bath first then foil and...

Does anyone know where I can get extensions to match this col? Burg isn't right Pink is too pink Purple is too purple lol I'm at a loss my next step is to colour the extensions. I know colouring blonde will get the best colour, but will fade the worse. I was thinking of colouring the purple...

A client has just sent me this pic. I'm doing her hair on fri night for her sisters 21st. I was thinking to use jumbo tongs 38mm and wrap back around my fingers and clip in place to set. I normally use tigi prods but if anyone has any other products that would be better suited please let me...

I'm new to affinage colours so need a bit of help please. I'm going to see a client tomorrow who has stripped her hair herself. She said it's now yellow and orange I've not seen it yet so can't give exact details. I'm thinking to do bleach foils and flood with 6.036. Am I right thinking you...

I'm going to switch to affinage colours. At the minute I use lots of brunette tones. What would the equivalent be in affinage?

How many people (if any) still use them? I still use one on my hair and I've managed to convert a friend to use one on hers. Her hair was always poker straight, when I first cut it I could see the natural wave to her hair. After spending all of the cutting time convincing her it will look...

I normally use clynol silver shampoo, even after trying others I always go back to this. I'm thinking of trying osmo silver shampoo and conditioner. Has anyone tried this? Can anyone give their opinion?

I work mobile now so don't get to bounce ideas of other stylists (which is why I love salon geek). But I was wandering as a way of seeing how different stylists interpret different cuts/ideas etc. Maybe if you could get a block and give 2 stylists or even trainees 1/2 a side each give them the...

I know there has been threads about this in the past but i can't get any up on my phone, I'll try and look on my laptop later. I've got a new client booked in for Friday. She has had all treatment and now has below shoulder length hair. She's not booked in until next sat and I'm going to see...

As the title says really. How do you pre pig? Do you add the tone needed into your tint or do you pre pig first then colour afterwards? If you pre pig first do you use the pre pig sprays etc? I usually add the tone needed into the tint.

A new client has just messaged me. She wants a full head highlights in a "chestnut" colour. Apparently her hair is a "darkish, reddy sort of brown" colour. As you can tell I've not seen her yet. I'm thinking rather then do bleach foils, then re colour, whether I should try using tint and 12%...

I've cut a lady's hair today who's has been at the box colours. She wants a pink/ raspberry colour. I've not used wella magma before but am I right in thinking I could use colour touch 55.65 + .65 mix tone on roots then full head of slices in magma 65? I've not used wella for years but they...
