I can't believe the shops are still allowed to sell Sun In. I used to see so many people come in the salon with their hair destroyed by the stuff (not recently, but hoards of them about 20 years ago. Think it was the "in thing"). Anyway, I would only cut and treat hair that's had Sun In on it...

Good for you, I wouldn't give her the info either. Whilst people are entitled to change salons, I think it's pretty rude to ask you for the info seeing as though you are close for her to come to.

It does knock your confidence early on, but stick to it hun, and chin up. It's not nice, but these times do toughen us up, and help us learn how to handle difficult situations and unhappy clients.

I can only repeat what others have said, a firm but polite book an appointment, no discounts policy. You (like they do) have to survive in this world. If they owned a pub, they wouldn't allow their family and friends to drink them out of business on freebies, being a hairdresser is no different xx

I would charge extra, they are potentially taking up another slot in your appointment book the time it takes. Depending on the knots I sometimes find it easier teasing them out with my fingers than brushing.

Was this after the skin test? If yes, has she had any exposure to any chemicals, new products or medication? If she hasn't had a skin test, I think you have your answer.

For my high lift tints I mostly use Wella (originally trained in Wella). I have previously used Schwarzkopf Igora Royal, Clynol Viton S and Revlonissimo. Always been happy with the colour outcome from all of these ranges, but the difference for me is the conditioning agents in the Wella...

I think it's horrible, I think he looks like Pepe le Pew

I completely agree with Si_82. We don't pay in our salon. The amount of clients who we get that like our styles/colours etc, and want the same doing. It's free advertising lol.

I turn people away with lice, and offer advice discreetly. If I were to cut a person or childs hair who had lice, and the other clients realised this, I doubt they would come back.

Few factors to consider which are you using? How porous is the hair? How much has it grabbed? I have used 1002 on a high lift tint client, and if I remember correctly, she lost the benefit of it after a couple of washes

All of our salon members (regardless of role) wear tunics, black trousers, and smart black shoes. They look great, and look professional

I feel really sorry for you. I have no experience or qualifications in extensions, but it really does look like you have gone above and beyond for her, and followed procedures. Did she know your business is new? I hate to say it, but there are people out there that like to try it on, knowing...

What result are you looking for? Are you still looking for (or needing) an ash?

I have used Revlonissimo. Results wise, I have always been happy, but was always disappointed with lack of conditioning.

Hadn't thought of that option, I was considering my next option as 1/2 12/89 and 12/11. Not sure

Never tried it, but keen on seeing some replies.

I'm a base 6, and always have to use an ash too as I have brassy tones. I use Wella 12/0 with 12/11 & 12% on my roots (have been for a couple of years now). I'm happy with the condition it leaves my hair. Over the years I previously used Schwarzkopf Igora Royal, Clynol Viton S and...

Long since fully qualified, but always learning! :D

I have a similar client who has 12/0 with 12/11 mixed with 12%. She needs the 12/11 for her orange (or strawberry as you mention):cool: Lifts it really well, maybe it is light enough, but she just needs a bit if ash
