hey guys! long time since ive started a thread lol....
currently in the process of sorting out a colour demo with a tigi colour technician because i really like the sound/look of the products, however i cant get my head around their process of coming in to do a colour demo?!
basically the technician has asked me for the exact colours i'll be wanting to use so she can send me the skin testing kit and then come in 48hours from then to do the colour demo with me...what i dont get is how she expects me to convert and choose a colour over the phone in a brand ive never used, which is why i want to have the demo.
i fully understand the skin testing is important and this has made me realise that the last 3 colour demos ive had, the models weren't skin tested!
but the main thing thats bugging me is that if i choose the colour, she sends me the skin tests, then comes in with the colour to use or whatever, what exactly is she there for? i expect a colour demo to be an indepth consultation with me, my client and the technician to determine what shades would be best to use in the particular brand and how to choose for the target (obviously basic colour theory is the same for all brands butwe all know how they differ, some a darker, some are warmer)
so anyway, as i was saying, what is she coming in for, if i have already chosen the exact shade, over the phone?!, then is she just going to come in and stand behind and watch me colour? seems like an easy job for her to me!
someone pleaaaase shed some light on this, i will be ringing her in a minute though.
forgot to add....would it not make more sense for her to come in and do a colour consultation with me and each of the models id be using, give me the tubes of colour to skin test with, and use for the colour after 48hours, and leave me to do it?
