Hi I was wondering if you can share some techniques with me in colour correcting black or very dark brown box dyes. I have done a few of these and I find sometimes the end colour after a bleach wash can be a little patchy. I'm thinking I may not have let the full time develop with the final...

I have a lady who has previous Ombre hair she now want s to go bright red / purple. She is very dark naturally at a level 4 I would say, so about 2 inch of regrowth. Then level 6/7 mid shaft to level 8 ends of hair. I want to use a rush 7/RV and 6/RV plus 30 developer to lift her natural...

Hi can I get some advise please. My client has base 4/5 box dye hair with mahogany tones. She wants to rid the red with a slight lighter brown colour and a few painted high lights on the ends in balayage not quite ombre. So I'm going to bleach bath with 20vol. I've test tried a strand and...

Hi can I have some ideas for this hair formula please. This is for my hair. My natural is about a 6/7 cool. I have about a inch of regrowth. Mid lenghts have a level 6 tint going a bit darker to a 5 base. Then the ends of my hair are a faded 7 tint with bleach under. So I know I'm a miss match...

I've only ever tried cling film and hand painted. I back combed once and used foils to create a ombre but I hate getting all the back combing out when washing. Will using foil help with the process ? I'm worried of the bkeach spreading out, if I use a balayage stroke technique?

I did my first perm today on a paying client. I actually loved it. Still a bit slow with the winding. I wonder when they will come back in for the younger ladies? Also does any one have any tips with perming hair ?

Does any one know what I'd need to do to be able to teach hair extensions? I'm level 2 hairdressing nvq just passed, would I need to do level 3 then something else ?

Hey I was wondering roughly how long it takes to build a good busy customer base? I'm weeks away from completing my level 2 and I'm desperate to be working and gaining experience. There is a new salon where I have approached and offered my hair extensions services. I've seen her today and she's...

Hi I have a client coming today for a skin test and consultation. She has previously full head of high lights but doesn't feel like they every get close enough to the root, so she wants to go to a full head of blonDe tint. I've just passed my level two and I haven't tried a hi lift tint yet. I'm...

Ok I'd like to start a thread on everything to do with bleach. My training has been so basic on it and I can't even find the information I need out of good colour books or the Internet. First low and slow. How slow and how low? When would this not work on a client? Like lots of colour build...

Hey can I get some advise please? I have a blonde lady who would like a ombre look. She doesn't want any more bleach. I don't know why but I am worried about prepig ing the hair in case I touch the blonde. Could I use a 6.3 gold as a root stretch and a beige toner 9.13 rusk toner to refresh the...

Hey guys can I get some feed back on this please. I applied a root base of 5 first then balayaged with 3ovol. Toned with 7/7 as she wanted a natural lighter brown than blonde.

Feeling very lucky that I managed to get some free colour training from a rusk educator. I feel so much more confident with this brand now. I was also given a free colour chart. Just need to put this in to action now. If any one uses rusk and has any questions I can help now 😊.

Hi can I get some help please this is my auntie she is naturally very light maybe a 7/6 base. Her hair isn't taking to colour so I've recommended treatments for a while she's used bleach in the past and box blonde dyes. Her roots are quite ginger and she hates this at the moment but the ends are...

Can someone explain in detail what a toner is and when you use one? I was under the impression it was only used with very low percentage for a small amount of time to neutralise unwanted tones. So you can use a toner on highlights even if it's a level 7, or 8? Also could this be a semi...

Hey guys, can I get some feed back on work I have competed so far? Thanks people, the first dark balayage was a level 4.5 very dark naturally. I used a colour remover first from rusk but it only lifted to a brown. I then redarkened the roots with a 5.8ch rusk. Balayage to a...
