    Patchy highlights

    I have a client who has complained her highlights are patchy. Her natural hair is very dark, I would say a base 4. She’s a regular and I normally do a full head regrowth bleach highlights then tone with goldwell 10p+10v equal parts but this time it seems to have grabbed more in certain parts...

    Dry hair

    I ended up buying her a new set and putting them in. I think that I left some bleach or colour in her hair and it has continued processing. Lesson learnt and I’ve kept a good customer

    Dry hair

    Just the roots! I didn’t apply any colour or bleach at all on the mid lengths and ends. I’ve been hairdressing for 17 years and have seen nothing like it. Her hair was like straw!

    Dry hair

    I have a regular customer who has been coming in years for a colour and extensions. She came in the other day for her usual. scalp bleach 6% then 12.61 over the top for a few minutes to give a slight pink tint. I have done this for years, no over lapping, only colouring the root and everything's...

    Getting out blue

    I decided on a colour remover in the end and it worked perfectly! When she came in her blue had faded a lot on the ends but midlenghts were still very blue. I used a colour reducer all over which removed all of the blue then all I had to do was a root stretch in 7.0 + 7.3. I didn't even tone the...

    Getting out blue

    Thanks. So do you think it would be best to go straight in with bleach rather than a colour reducer?

    Getting out blue

    I have just been messaging her and the colour she used was blue mercury live box colour! So I am now thinking the colour remover might work as if I remember right it is only direct dyes it doesnt work on? I'm also going to tell her she might need to go darker than she wants, theres no way shes...

    Bright red

    My client has platinum blonde hair but it is not in good condition and doesnt hold colour, she has been a few bright colours and it fades really fast (she does it herself, I only cut her hair) she is now wanting to book in for a bright red colour with me and wants it not to fade quickly. I was...

    Euphoria One rose gold

    I went ahead and just ordered them! This is them fitted on myself. I was already a pale level 10 blonde so I used 12.61 mixed with a tiny pea sized amount of red mix. It matched the extensions perfectly

    Extensions straight after a colour

    Is it ok to apply microbead extensions straight after having a colour (same appointment) or is it best to leave it a few days so they can get a wash inbetween. I'm asking because I have a client who looses quite a lot of extensions compared to other clients and we do her colour and move ups on...

    I’m pregnant, how do I do this?

    It was the end of November when I found my salon rent a chair. A stylist had left with no notice so they were desperate for someone to start straight away. I told them I was pregnant and due in March so I would only be renting the chair until the end of Feb. I ended up loving it so I stayed...

    I’m pregnant, how do I do this?

    You will manage. I found out I was pregnant with my 3rd baby just 2 weeks after I became self employed. It wasn't planned and I was devastated. I just continued as normal and when I was about 6 months pregnant I started renting a chair but still did the odd client mobile (clients that wouldn't...
