So little rant tonight.
I used to work with somone who started out washing hair progressed to colourist... (She did it for about 5-6 years) Never went to college just learned on the job. (I know that's the best way to learn, but still think you need some theory aswell)
I worked for years and years to build up my knowledge and now have my own small shop.
This girl didn't even want to stay in hairdressing and does somthing els now, but is doing colours on the side charging £35 a colour and blowdry.
Just a bit peed off as she's messed up a mutual friends hair, she normally has bleached roots toned so it's platinum. Anyway she wants rose gold... Her hair so so porus.
Anyway she bleached roots didn't bother toning to match ends...don't know what colour she used but it was very golden...now my friends got ginger roots as colour washed out of midlenths and ends in 1 wash.
Anyway iv given the formula but I said bleach roots tone so all even, use affinage prepig yellow use 9.026 or 5 can't remember number. strawberry blonde anyway and 1g of 06 intensive with converter.
She told this girl this and she picking holes in it...
Really bugging me not saying you need collage I know you can be good from learning on the job, but surly there's things she won't know.
She's good a basic colours but surly for more complicated colours you need a bit of your theory???
And would she even be able to get insurance as she's not a hairdresser.
