Wow im shocked at the negative comments about xp. I have trained in and used loreal, joico, wella but love xp.
My clients rate it highly. I have used it for 4 years and apart from a red client suffering colour blow due to the amount of home dye / stripping, love it.
Clients often postpone colour appts as xp holds so well.
Many technicians in my area have swapped now & yes it is cheaper but with so many newly qualifieds/mobile/home stylists working for 3p an hour, it helps keep salon costs down without cutting quality/results..
My wholesalers wont use loreal because of the quick fade.
I am anti loreal all bar the luocolour.
