My last cut ended way shorter than planned... any tips to avoid this?
Many ask for this style after finding it online. It takes focus to get the lines right. What's your method for checking the balance?
Small batches give me steady results every time.
Everyone talks about bulk buying to reduce packaging, but we found the large containers get contaminated and we have to throw out half-used product. The small, single-use tubes we used before meant less waste per client because we used every drop. Now we're tossing big plastic jugs that still have color in them, and it feels worse for the planet.
A regular client came in with orange hair from a box dye she tried at home. I was annoyed because she didn't consult me first, and now I had to fix it. Instead of stripping all the color, I mixed a blue-based toner to neutralize the brassiness. It took some trial and error with different developers, but I got it to a nice cool blonde. She left happy, and I reminded her to always book a consultation before drastic changes.
