    50 shades of grey

    I realise I am really behind the times, but it have only just seen the 50 Shades if a grey trailer on YouTube. After reading the book, I'm not sure they've cast actors who look how I envisioned the characters in my head! Bit disappointed I think. LOVED the rework of Beyonce's Crazy in Love...

    Help please Wella geeks

    I read a post recently about using 1.9% Colour Touch developer with Blondor for highlights. I normally start with Pastel at the nape, working up to 6% at the top, but the poster said they started with 1.9%. Just wondered whether this is ok? I always thought this was just for using with CT but...

    Wella colour remover/eraser

    I trained in wella but we were never taught about a colour remover other than using a lightened to cleanse. Do wella have their own specific colour remover / eraser? If so what's it called. Have a client with a tinted base 5 looking to colour correct to a level 7/8 but wanting even results. X...

    Feelings on styling/updos?

    Just wondering how other geeks feel about the styling element of hairdressing? I hate it! I lack creativity, patience and enthusiasm for updos. I know that's bad but I just enjoy colouring and cutting so much more. I have a friend getting married in the summer who wants me to do her wedding...

    How long does an opened tint last for?

    Just found an old, opened Koleston tint tube in the salon. It looks very old as the packaging isn't even the same as the current Wella branding! Do any of you colour geeks know whether it will have lost its potency or will it be ok to use? X

    What to do, concerned for welfare of neighbour's animal

    I wonder if anyone could advise me? I am concerned for the welfare of a cat that I think belongs to my neighbour. He is outside at all times of day and night, regardless of weather. He's always mithering around us and other passers by in the street, often miaowing constantly. He is quite a long...

    Who cuts your hair?

    Just out of interest wondered who you all got to do the honours for you? Colleagues? Yourself? Are you a picky client when it's you in the chair instead?

    Dropped scissors!

    I bought a brand new pair of Jay 2 scissors around 2 months ago. In the last couple of weeks I've noticed they're significantly blunter. They seem to pull and rip the hair rather than cut smoothly when slicing. And the blades sometimes pull rather than cut even when I'm club cutting. Not long...

    How much experience is necessary?

    I'm interested to hear how much experience people think you need before looking at setting up your own business (mobile or own salon). Or any tips from those who already have? It's definitely something I'm considering for the future.
