Instructions advise to use 20vol on pretty much everyone You would only use 30vol on someone who's hair is really short and basically in immaculate condition. So hardly ever Sorry I'm not at work to take a pic of a leaflet but hope that helps. It's loreal guidelines x

I don't tend to use 3 colours in a foil much, as in this case the bleach and hilift would sit too similar next to each other and look like one big stripe. I would advise her to use two colours and then her 'third' colour would be her natural hair that's left out in the weaves. So use one light...

Thank you both so much. I'll try and persuade her to get onto a good home care regime and retest in a few months, at which point I can hopefully go in and do some pre lightener foils. She did turn around and say she would go to another salon and they will do it for her as it's never been an...

Has anyone here had problems with clients using John Freida at home before? I had a new client who's root was about 2 shades lighter than her natural base 7 before going into her previous highlights. She herself said it was a blonde John Freida shampoo and had to stop using it as found it was...

Sorry just saw you said on the ends not the whole thing. I'd still recommend you get someone more experienced with colour to do it for you if you don't know your colour theory x

Personally I'd recommend you get another Hairdresser to do it. One confident with colour. If you applied a 6/0 on your roots then it may need cleansing or lifting up and you may also need to pre pig those ends. You haven't provided much information to work with so that's the best I have I'm...

You need to read the post that Lukas K linked too. It explains the info you need to provide first, like your natural base, what colour line you use etc. Once you've done that people will be able to offer advice xx

Hi I was wondering how you mobile hairdressers would charge someone for a stretched root? So doing a regrowth tint and then pulling it down over their blonde. Not actually adding any more blonde to the ends or anything. I charge for a full head tint or regrowth tint, or a regrowth tint and a...

Hi Do any mobile hairdresser currently offer treatments? I mean just like a regular pot of hair mask, not olaplex or anything. If so, how much would you tend to charge for this? Would you do a head massage or anything? Also, do you bring your own shampoo and conditioner for clients to wash...

Thank you! I'm interested to try it but hate having to buy different developers etc. It's just a root regrowth so will have a go with half 7.13 and half 6 majirel x

Hiya I work with Loreal but have a mobile client who moves around the country and so has her hair done by me and another hairdresser. She has just gone darker with the other hairdresser who said she used 6-4 schwarzkopf on her hair and to use that on her roots (nb 5) I see that .4 is beige but...

Ive been on the beginner hair up one day course. It was amazing and the tutor wasnt patronising or anything. I would definitely go on another. I feel everyone that works for ghd really knows their stuff and are happy to share their knowledge, even their sales team. They have all these tips and...

Hi geeks I have a colour change tomorrow and was hoping for some advice. She is a nb 4 with 70% grey on the top and back but the sides are 90% grey. She only has about 4 weeks worth of regrowth. I have attached the photo of what she has and what she wants. I use loreal - the dia colours and...

Hi ladies I have trained in hair extensions however only actually applied one set. I am still at the stage where I am just asking my friends to pay for the hair and then I apply it for free. I have seen some of you using hair extensions to make people's hair appear blonder overall. I was...

The Colour Book by Tracey Lloyd is amazing for getting to grips with colour theory. It also comes with a CD so you can test your knowledge. I highly recommend it

Hi I went on a hair extension course recently and whilst the manual provided is good, I don't feel very confident with colour selection and placement. Can someone please point me in the right direction of some resources that would help me with this? Websites, DVDs, books? I really would...

Thank you :-) Well they are a big group so they have their own trainin academy, so i am assuming that all assessments will be done in their academy once a week. I spoke to someone today who said that apprenticeship funding requirements may hold up how fast someone can pass. Like if someone...

Hi All I have just been offered an amazing opportunity to gain my NVQ level 3. I'm 26 so thought an apprenticeship was no longer an option for me, so I am stunned to have been given this opportunity. Now, I have googled away but can't seem to get my head around how this actually works...

I have suffered with Psoriasis for 15 years, scalp and body. I have tried pretty much every form of shampoo that is recommended with horrible results, but I have been using Aussie shampoo for the last 3 or 4 years and it is 100% the best shampoo I have tried. I find shampoos targeted...
