Hi all,
I have been hairdressing for 8 years and after reading hundreds of posts on here about colour correction and colours to use i have no idea what you're talking about! Crazy that after 8 years I actually feel I don't have the experience that I should.
I work in a salon with clients aged 40+. They mostly have all over tints, cut and blow dries then perms and sets for the older clients.
If ever I hi light I use bleach - mainly with 12% as usually I'd be hi lighting over a tint.
I have never hi lighted then toned - when you talk about pastel I have no idea what you mean!
I have never given a client a whole new image eg from brown to blonde/ blonde to red etc.
I have never done a graduated bob, or anything trendy, just the basic layering.
I have considered getting a different job as after reading things on here and seeing your work I don't feel confident or feel as if I know what I'm doing.
I have 2 young children so finding work that fits around them will be difficult, the hours I work at my salon suit me perfectly.
I'm so confused and really do feel I lack a LOT of skills. If a new blonde client came in and wanted her roots doing so that it matches her existing blonde I wouldn't even know what to do there!
I'd really appreciate any advice you have, thanks x
