Has anyone else experienced this? I had a really rough time with coronavirus in December, and this week I started noticing hair coming out when I run my hands though my hair. I wasn't sure if it was just because my hair was getting so long, but if I pull my hair back I can see my hairline...

Hi everyone! Like everyone I'm trying to keep myself sane during lockdown, and I've re-started a project that I have been working on for years, which is writing a book for colourists. A handbook if you like. This is intended to be targeted towards those with experience in colouring, rather than...

Philip is an amazing, talented, and very young hairdresser that has bought passion and enthusiam to our industry. I'm saddened to learn about his health and at the same time also uplifted at our industries response. https://www.gofundme.com/2d2k9fmc

An educator for a colour brand once made the point to me that although a shade chart will typically go up to a level 10, there are lots of people with hair lighter than a 10. Although it is generally agreed that you shouldn't lift hair to 'white' there is a space between a level 10 and say...

Does anyone know any bleaches specifically for sensitive scalps? It is for myself. I doubt I am allergic to persulfates seeing as I use them everyday at work, but last time I tried lifting my hair a few months ago with blondor soft blond + 20vol + olaplex it was very painful and had a lot of...

When I was at Not Another Salon a couple of weeks ago I was totally inspired by some of the wigs Sophia Hilton had coloured, so have being having a play (photos on my insta). Does anyone else here colour wigs? Love that there are no restrictions on your colour choice and technique! Any advice...

Thought I'd post a simple guide to the hair contouring trend that I think we will be hearing much more of very soon. Just as stylists will work with shape to balance the face shape, contouring takes the next step with colour placement. The principles are simply shadowing areas of the face with...

If you are reading this you are probably passionate about hairdressing, after all you are spending your free time on a hairdressing forum! I feel that one area of salon/hairdressing life that isn't talked enough about is about how we deal with clients on a day to day basis. I though maybe we...

Hi guys, how do you rate soft creme for cutting though old colour? Looking at taking at coloured level 5 to silver hopefully so need to take it to a level 10 with 6% Welloxon. Wasn't sure if it would be strong enough, otherwise I'll need to buy more developer for Platinium tomorrow, thank you :)

Sorry for the instagram link, but I think this will make some of you laugh! ;) https://instagram.com/p/3CPdj1ROPr/

1) So out of interest what would you say differentiates the difference between 'consumer' and 'professional' products? Do you think there is an overlap? (for example consumers using root touch up kits or consumer shampoo). 2)Do you think professional products are worth the price point in...

How many of you guys are selling these? For those that don't know it's a compact for clients to touch up their roots between visits like make up for the hair. I think it's a really great retail product and almost everyone I show it too takes one, since I show them how it works on their roots...

This seems to work well, especially if you are doing a base colour at the same time and don't want to rinse the back first... Once the back is nearly lightened, just remove the cling film from the back so it slows down until it is all ready. Its simple but I have found it very useful! I...

How's everyone enjoying balayage? Personally I try to do as much as possible and I love it because I feel like I am learning every time I balayage. I wonder how long until it is incorporated into the NVQ? I am glad to see that Toni&Guy have included a technique in there latest educational...

Hi does anywhere know where sells a good tinting trolley with a large tray? I would like a simple black/ steel trolley but the ones we are using are too small for balayage with the big rolls of cling film and paddles. Thanks! Sent from my GT-I9505 using SalonGeek mobile app
