Shoe Shine Technique????

[Snugglepuss]

I have just got back from the hairdressers and my hairdresser was having a skills update course.

The tutor was showing her the "Shoe Shine" technique and I was intrigued to see the result!

However I had to leave before it was finished, so wondered if any of the hair geeks use this method - how long has it about and is it effective????

:hug:

I remember this in the salon when i was a junior 10 years ago!
Never heard of it since then though.

Am curious now ... what exactly is the shoe shine technique?

 

[Tammy BTN]

correct me if i'm wrong please! I was only a junior and it was 10 years ago but isn't it where you apply the haircolour to the foil as opposed to the hair first then buff the large strip of foil accross the head to add the colour.
(thought it was mainly used on men)
I only got to do it once and i don't think i got it right! Lol,

:lol: not at all :lol:

I did ask the tutor if it was really called the shoe shine technique, because even though it looked like she was shining shoes, I thought there would be a more technical name for it :lol: obviously not :lol:

As tammy said, it was really the "hot" thing to do back...when.
It has it's benefits on certain styles . I use it occassionally with the short spiky hair that they want only the tips colored. Hair that is way to short to foil.

apply on spiked hair moving back and forward,, just covering the tips.
mainly on men billy idol style but tipped on ends.:smack:

hi it is deferently called a shoe shine,ive done it a few times,there r better techniqes

We had a client in the salon I worked in that came in every 8 weeks for a shoe shine. I think its an effective easy way on getting a colour on short spikey hair.

 

[firemouse]

Its good for naturally curly short hair too,you don't have to stick to bleach you can incorporate loads of other colours as well.I know that Toni and Guy offer thios service.x
