This used to be a place for true professionals to come and advise and discuss things with other professionals, but it all seems to be going mad!
Correct me if Im wrong, but do aspiring professional hairdressers not wish to be the best they can possibly be, and as highly regarded and respected in their field as possible? If so, does that not mean accepting the advise given to them gratefully?
Buying the cheapest hair, or the cheapest colour or product will not get you high end results. i understand that these are tough economic times, but I truly believe that you must speculate to accumulate, and that means paying a premium for the products and equipment you use.
Its disheartening when I come on and see qualified hairdressers advising others to use low end products/hair/etc. Its simply not the best practice, and you will not gain respect for it. "That'll do" Just wont do in my book.
Think about it, would Trevor Sorbie, Vidal Sassoon and such like have generic peroxides or XP colours in their colour room, or shampoo's obtainable from Sallys on the backbar? No! Because they decided they would strive for excellence - and that means using excellent products and equipment.
My advice to Newbies and Aspiring ones;
All peroxides, tints, hair extensions, shampoos, products are pretty much the same?
No
Pay for the best, Use the best, Charge the best and BE the best.
Buy cheap = Be regarded that way
