    Toning foiled hair?

    All advise given so far i back up. Rules of bleaching: Lower vol NEVER EVER HEAT process! By using to high a developer you can also shatter the colour molecules causing it to stain the cuticle and you will never get it out! Heat speeds up the action but not the clean lift meaning it never...

    Bad mouthed on Facebook mobile advice

    I agree you should have tried calling first before a message, a message seems very impersonal and avoiding the chance to hear their disappointment. However you are right if you feel you need to reduce your hours for personal and family reasons then this is justified, maybe you could have kept...

    Lighter hair without bleach?

    To the op, the general advise will be to go to a salon as depending on how much red you wish to show through, if you wish to go lighter, you will need to have your base stripped slightly before applying the final colour to your mid-ends and your roots will have a different mix applied to ensure...

    Unhappy client issue and needing some advice

    Definite chances. I would call, text or email is unprofessional unless they don't answer then message but more for the scalp mentioned. I'd call and as above say you would like to see her in regards to her scalp as no colour touched her scalp you're unsure what this could be and maybe has an...

    Mistakes when you opened your salon?

    Things i learnt on opening : making me think but there are a few: -When budgeting don't forget about rates. Send off for rate relief i did this and it dropped from 4.5 thousand payable to 515 for year 1. -Solicitor fees apparently don't come as tax reliefable (found out this month) so get a...

    New website thoughts please

    Clear and simple looks professional so its on the right track kind of but as above I think it needs a lot of work. The wording (apologies if he is just copying your old page) but never the less sounds amateurish and doesn't fit well. There's a couple grammar mistakes and spelling but I'm...

    Colour advice, please

    Def bleach unless going for a base 9 but highlift tints are designed for use on base 6 above, I personally haven't come across many strong enough on a 6 to be honest if wanting ash x

    Colour advice please

    She really doesn't need to go through the foiling it all out or using bleach with developer at all, she only needs to remove the tone, not lift, so water only instead of developer is the best advise I would say. Apply to shampooed hair because shampoo opens the cutical to allow the bath to its...

    Colour advice please

    Always the with a Demi when you can as nothing holds on blonde but they hold better and as they help keep the condition last longer :) I'd do the same powder water and shampoo will only need a few mins so keep watching. And then apply a gold Demi xx

    Bleached hair - what can I do?

    I think either ask to be toned down to a level 9 (obviously discuss the colour chart) or low lights. I find most people who have highlights then go for an all over hate it the same lightness and prefer it all over a couple shades darker. Good luck at the salon x

    Are hair straighteners bad to use every day?

    The equipment you use is also a big factor, I straighten my hair daily as I plait it every night and as a hairdresser know the damage that can be caused however i can't walk around scruffy lol i use professional products throughout and treat my hair every 4-6 weeks as its extensions it's easily...

    Full head bleach now wants highlift tint how to match up?

    The tint won't match you will have to tone the ends down, a level 9 in comparison will appear dark won't it given she's naturally a 9? I'd go for a 10 tone slightly but not too much x orrr if you tone to a 9 do your highlight suggestion, but apply bleach and 10 and flood rest with the 9. The...

    Full head bleach now wants highlift tint how to match up?

    Test piece! What colour does your lady actually want to finish if she is looking to go to a tint have you looked at levels and chose the ones she would like to work towards? Does she want to tone down to get away from the bleach look? Are you thinking few foils to break up or ensure doesn't...

    Colour changes help is really needed please

    I'd test colour remover and highlift tint, but I personally think that would be more harsh than colour remover and a slow lift with bleach, but test both and see, if it shows weakness at all I wouldn't and work on the strength first x

    Colour changes help is really needed please

    Lol then you should have known you won't achieve that look without bleach :( or colour remover. You could test piece and see after a cleanse if a highlift tint would work and checking the strength.
