Foils-how close to the scalp?

[Theden]

Yep I agree that's why I also said I try on real hair as when clients hair haircut in salon some long ones I keep the hair to try different bleaches colours toners etc.

That is a good idea aslong as your not doinf it on actual clients.

The only thing I will say is make sure you understand the colour before just mixing up some concoction slapping it on and seeing what it does anybody can do that ny oh understands colour enough to do that but a great hairdresser needs to understand the science behind it and understand why colour results end up like they do. Its not just how its why !!!

You trained with who?

I think Thiagos already familiar with that brand! LMAO! What an appropriate spellcheck disaster!

Anyway...Thiago, let me know if you need any help with the Aveda colour...always glad to offer assistance. Oh, by the way their level 7 gold colours are amazing for grey coverage (only takes 20 minutes to develop with no heat!)

To all the other crap on here... OH....MY....GOD!!

Back on subject. I allow 2 hours 45 min- 3 hours 30min for full head foils.
I apply as close to the root as possibly without risking bleeding. Small sections, good tension and staggered sectioning means no regrowth is left

I prefer to leave a bit of regrowth ... It makes great business as they come back a week or 2 earlier. Lol

It is a bit more expensive than most regular brands but only by a couple of pounds.

To get the colour you need to contact Aveda. They will sell it to you on the following conditions:

1. You're qualified
2. You own a salon.
3. You employ at least 5 staff.
4. You pass the interview with them to become one of their salons. Currently there are 500 of us in the UK who have passed the interview and are able to trade as Aveda salons but I think you might end up that good one day.

In the meantime, have you checked eBay? You could have a play around with it? The highlift is called ELC and the pigments are called Pure Pastels, the developer is known as Activator. You will need the pre-porosity treatment equaliser before you apply and also the PHinish conditioner for use when you've shampooed it off to restore PH level back to normal. Have fun! Let me know if you need any help.

Oh te salon I work we only have 2 hairdresser plus me and one beauty and I don't have a salon lol so I guess I can't guy from them haha I will check on ebay then . Thank uuuuuuxx

I wouldn't go back to someone if they left a regrowth full head foils and a CF cost £85 plus with me so I prefer to keep my clients happy

How often do you expect to see them back? Every 8 weeks?

That would be SIX weeks if you left a bit of regrowth! Trust me ... I'm a guru when it comes to stuff like this.
