    Hair breakage or new hair growth?

    Could be alot of factors. But it.coudm be a mixture of breakage and the natural hair cycle. It could be caused by stress as everyone is more stressed on the whole. Changes in diets, hormones (as you said) and rapid weight loss. Even though she mainly leaves it to naturally dry, does she tie...

    Covid vaccine and clients

    Is it hearsay from other hairdressers? There has been no official statement from any colour houses I have seen. If you are concerned call your colour house customer service and ask them directly.

    Covid causing issues on the business

    We've had some people grow their colour out so but equally had people who have standard all over colours for years have started to mix things up. With the people who are embracing grey and growing their colour out we are still managing to do some sort of colour on their hair by promoting grey...

    We don't get no shows anymore since we have taken card details. If we get a late cancellation we would send a quick text from the booking system to.the person next on the list and book them in. It onky takes a couple or minutes to do it. But once again we get very few last minute cancellations...

    Advice on blending/covering grey

    Ohhh, that makes much more sense now :) if you're just looking to blend the grey without any lifting and like schwarzkopf you can use their vibrance range 6-1 and 9.5-1 redken shades eq would also work, they are really sheer so would blend nicely, the benefit of these are that they are acidic...

    Hair tool advice

    Which ever you think you will use the most. A wand would give you more options and flexibility than an automatic curler.

    Covering over old full head bleach

    I'd say colour touch would be better than koleston to prepig if you have it.

    Patch tests UK

    We've never used colour start because they have never been valid when self administered with most insurances. Also with the new wella koleston being ME+ rather than PPD they are useless for wella salons because they don't contain any of the ME+ pigment. You could open the first day and just do...

    Covering over old full head bleach

    It's /65 but that will be a little bit intense on its own and too much on the violet side. You could use 6/75 + 7/75 to give it the undertone and then cover with the base 5. I've never done that with Wella though so go a bit darker than anticipated. I normally always prepig with perfecton...

    Bleach highlights after lockdown

    I'm sure you hairdresser with adapt their technique to give you the best possible result. We come across people with all sizes of regrowth and we alter the technique and density of foil placement in a daily basis so I'm sure they will do the appropriate techniques on your hair. If you express...

    Advice on blending/covering grey

    Igora vibrance is meant to be used with 13vol or 6vol not 30vol?? If the back lifts warmer to the front you are going to have to formulate your colours different for the same end result. You said its too warm at the the back and too at the front... im assuming you meant to cool at the front...

    Covering over old full head bleach

    If you wanted to keep it a more neutral result you can possible prepig with perfecton. 20ml /3 + 10ml /43 + 50ml-ish warm water. This will still give you a a prepig but not as much as the warmth will shine through under the colour. I would aim for a base 6 prepig, this will still give you the...

    Orange/brassy brown to ash brown

    Sounds like you've got alot of work on your hands. If that was my mum I would tell her I'm not doing it with the amount of faffing she's done with it. If she is currently a base warm base 6 there's not much point stripping the colour further because this will just expose warmer undercoat in the...

    Wella as long as you go through their screening process. I'm not 100% but u think it may be similar for loreal but i wouldn't know as I've not had them in the salon for a few years

    Bleach on scalp

    Sometimes regardless of what bleach and developer is chosen you can just be really sensitive. You can use the corrected product and the correct developer and it still be irritating because of the oxidation. Schwarzkopf have just Brought out a product called scalp protect which is meant to be...

    Patch tests UK

    For example I use Wella. Their manufacturers instructions is before every colour. However they have an allergy alert test policy (AAT) which is what they are advising to use for guidance. This AAT hasn't changed since covid. It's a questionnaire of 10 questions which should be followed before...

    Not necessarily, a protocol is usually different. Out of interest what colour house do you use?

    Patch tests UK

    Each colour house have manufacturers instructions as you know, but most of them also have a protocol which is different to the instructions. You need to ask for the protocol and then see if your insurance company will also cover the protocol. I would check that your insurance company would...

    Advice needed on bleached and then dyed brown hair

    Like AcidPerm says a colour reducer is a good place to start... Wella do colour renew which is a zero damage colour reducer this will give it an overall lighter result but then you would have to counteract the exposed warmth with another colour and then have to it later down the line...
