I honestly think I am doomed to give my opinions to this thread. I couldnt do it from my mobile and after a long reply, my laptop re-started and I lost it all.:twisted::twisted:
OK one more time... :Look_righ
When Samuel and I first started this site (many moons ago) it was called 'nailgeek.com' and after many hair and skin fans asked, it was changed to 'salongeek' with Skin and Hair Forums added As nails is my forte I dont always visit Skin and Hair but I like hair as the industry is similar to our own and I have enjoyed reading Persianista's posts. I thought 'yeyyyy' - we have a hair pro who is investing her time to help the hair geeks and knows her stuff.
@Purple Butterfly - yes I agree one must follow the manufactures guidelines. We give this consistent info to our own CND / MINX customers all the time plus - we dont sell our professional products without education so we know our customers are getting trained by the best - independant - fully trained CND Education Ambassadors - no one knows our proucts better than we know them.
I often find (although there has been improvement for sure), that college students with an NVQ Level II (minimum) seem to know the least amount and have the least amount of technical ability when they leave college. So much so that S2 will only sell professional product to those who have passed NVQ Level III - we must also remember that NVQ is the
minimum industry standard.
What you need to be minful of is that years of experience can teach us many things and particularly 'tricks of the trade'.
I think it would be safe and fair to say, that if you are the owner of 3 salons, have a large and loyal clientele and have years of experience under your belt, you would indeed be considered a success.
Had you posted
'Persianista, the guidelines on my product are different from the ones you have given. Why would this be?.... you would have had a very different response. As it was, your post was disrespectful and verging on rude.
No one is saying they know everything, for me, reading the whole 3% vol / lift stuff, is like me discussing the benefits of IPN technology - it gets lost on me - but, be respectful of your fellow geeks and post in a respectful way. This thread got out of hand for one reason and one reason only....
Wrong, the minimum for Majirel is 20 vol (6%), Max 30 vol (9%).
6% - Darker, Same shade, up to 2 levels of lift
9% - up to 3 levels of lift
Majirel can only be lifted up to 3 levels.
I also use L'oreal, I was trained in it and I was never taught to use 3% in this brand. Manufacturers instructions are exactly the same.

It is hard to get used to web ettiquette but we all had to do it - I hope you learn to do the same.
