Hi everyone. Need help. Getting conflicting information about what to use on scalp with wella koleston hi lift blonde. Usually for non scalp applications you mix 1:2 but I’m sure I remember that if you were applying to scalp you mixed differently. Not done a scalp color with hi lift for ages and...

Are people still using disposable gowns in your salons. I’ve noticed some places are using normal salon gowns but I’m not sure what the recommendations are.

Hi everyone. I had a client in about 4 weeks ago and after her consultation she decided she liked it a bit longer since it growing in lockdown. So I tidied it up and she seemed pleased. Anyway about two weeks later she called to say she can’t manage it and wants it cut like pre lockdown. So I...

I have recently gone self employed and have to buy my own colours and my preferred range is wella. I have a client that I have been hi lighting for a while with hi lift and a few bleach. She messaged me asking to book a consultation to go brunette which is fine. What can I use to pre pig with...

The salon I work in is going to change products. System professional for shampoos etc and Sebastian for styling products. I'm quite excited about this but it has been years since I've used them. Are they good?

I'm having a moment. but is this technique a semi type colour cus it says it seamlessly reduces grey but gently disappears over time. I thought illumina was permanent.

I don't know if I'm allowed to ask this but I'm after ideas for a skin cream or oil that will help reduce scars on face. I've heard of bio oil. Are there any other alternatives.

I'm thinking of taking up a beauty box subscription. I like the idea of getting a little something to do with beauty every month as I love makeup. But I also love nails and was wondering if anyone knew about a box that is dedicated to nails.

It was VAT free day at Sally's today and I went to get two china glaze colours that I had my eye on. I don't remember seeing a sign by the bottles saying 3 for 2 but later when I went online it says 3 for 2 on all china glaze. Gutted at losing out on a freebie if it was in store as well.

A lady came into the salon last week while I was at the desk and asked who was the best stylist. This always gets my back up and I would never say who was best even if I think it. I said that two of us, one of them me had the most experience in the salon, so it depends on price. My cut/blow is...

I've been hairdressing for 20 years but have always been rubbish at retail. I work for Regis who bought our salon several years ago and anyone who has worked for them knows how insistent they are on selling retail or in salon treatments. My manager who I've work with for 18 years knows I try but...

Just looked on the Sam Villa website. He has a cool way of cutting fringes. I need a couple of guinea pigs to try it out. LOL

Going to London tomorrow and hoping to pop into Selfridges to get a few things. A NARS blusher and eyebrow perfector. Does anyone else use NARS? Apart from an odd Chanel and MAC lipstick I mainly buy stuff from superdrug or boots. I do use bare minerals foundation though but that's about it for...

Around the end of the eighties my brother gave me his hi-fi. It was just as cd's were getting popular and you could still buy records. Now I don't remember the song or the name of the group but I bought a record that had two or three blokes and a woman in it. The woman had really cool short...

At work today a client came in to buy products and I started chatting to her about her hair. She has moved to my area and needs to get a new hairdresser and asked me if I could match up her colour. She had clynol 12:22 with 12% on roots written by her previous hairdresser. I use wella in my...

Does anyone else on here panic about clients hair after they've done it? Even though the client says they like it and re-book if I'm not entirely happy with it myself I worry for days. My husband thinks I'm mad.

Now I'm a hairdresser not a beautician but thought I might ask for a little bit of advice. I find that I wake up in the morning and have red lumps mainly on the right hand side of my face. If I squeeze them then sometimes a very watery white-ish fluid will come out and then after an hour or so...

Have seen some mixes using wella koleston on here but would love to know quantities to make pinks and blues etc. do you always have to use 10/0 as a carrier or could you just use mix tones on their own with pastel after pre- lightening.
