Ooooh I love a good chocolate caramel. Well, here is the thing, that can be interpreted in so many different ways. Now with the NCh series you can TRULY create a Chocolate ( NCh stands for Natural Chocolates Series. But I wanted to give you other options. We have a great post on here about JUST caramel hues, so why not one about Chocolate Caramel. )

Lowlighting in general can be FREAKY FRIDAY because all you can think is “OH GEEZ I HOPE I DON’T MAKE MY CLIENT LOOK LIKE XTINA FROM EARLY 2000’s lol :-)”

LATENESS AND LAST MINUTE CANCELLATIONS. WHEN DO YOU ENFORCE, WHEN DO YOU NOT? AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HOW DO YOU ENFORCE.

Every brunette who wants to go dimensional will, without fail, tell you they don’t want to feel “orange”. How do we avoid this? It’s all about understanding what level to lift the client to. So, when creating a dimensional brunette, we must first ask ourselves, “WHAT IS MY DESIRED END RESULT LEVEL FOR THE DIMENSION?” Once you know this, you will want to lift 1-2 levels lighter than that desired end result level to ensure you are able to control and manipulate the tonality of

So, my recommendation when it comes to choosing a fill formula for a cool brunette is VERY simple.

Here are two options of what you could say...

So here is the thing… it's not about THE SERIES and more about REFLECT of the SERIES.

This is REALLY what I do and I recommend you do this as well:

You’ve been discounting for years to your OG clients .. and you’ve done price increases but have never raised their prices … so now years later you want to charge them your regular prices, but that would mean a price increase of $100+ to their ticket… because they are so behind…. Catch my drift? Sound familiar? Stressed out just reading this?

WHAT YOU COULD POST ON INSTAGRAM:

So what do you do if your client comes in… and they are a corrective color… they are naturally a level 4. They have patchy and uneven level 6 and level 7 throughout. It is clear that the previous color service they received there was a lack of proper saturation from the foils and therefore when the hair was toned it deposited unevenly. Their inspiration photo is lucky very warm. They want to be a level 6 copper with level 8 golden copper throughout.

Question: “Today I took a client from a grown out bleach out to a copper red.. I filled with 9AA & a little 7CC.. and that looked good after but when I did her all over gloss I feel like her ends didn’t take on any of the color and they stayed looking like more like the fill color .. I did 7CC 5CC 7CB and orange kicker. Should I have used a different formula for her ends?”

The WG series in shades eq is my opinion is an absolute MUST in your color room or backbar. Why? Well the WG series is amazing for golden blondes, enhancing a red head copper or strawberry blonde.

So let's break down some of the reds in shades eq! The MOST important thing to understand about the reds in shades is those which live within the NO BACKGROUND family and those that live in the BROWN TO TAN BACKGROUND family.

LETS BREAK DOWN WHY THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE SERIES AND LEVEL TO ADD INTO YOUR BLONDE FORMULATIONS.

What are my thoughts on waivers for refunds, deposits and color services!

Well let’s begin by talking about WHY FILLING is important and WHAT the purpose of FILLING is. Its job is to restore or “fill” the missing pigment from the hair. So for example, if you have ever tried to make a blonde a brunette and it turned out muddy… it’s because you skipped the oh so important and necessary step of filling.

Member Question: "I DID 09GB AND 09GI WITH CLEAR (000) AND MY CLIENT SAID IT WAS TOO ASHY. I LIFTED HER TO A LEVEL 9."
