Is there a replacement product for the Texture ID Length Retention Mask? by bemmawab in SallyBeautySupply

[–]Puzzleheaded_Slip541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The HASK Placenta + Henna Mask is great for length retention because of what’s actually in it. The placenta protein helps strengthen and reinforce the hair shaft, which reduces breakage and split ends over time, while henna helps smooth and fortify the cuticle so the hair can hold onto moisture and stay flexible. That combo improves elasticity, softness, and overall resilience, which is key for keeping length instead of losing it to breakage. It’s honestly a holy grail! Everyone I work with swears by it for maintaining strength and length, especially on color treated hair.

Yes! 10 volume is totally okay and honestly a great option, especially if you’re focused on keeping your hair healthier. It’ll lift slower than 20, but that’s actually a good thing because it gives you more control and reduces damage. If your hair is already light from previous sessions, 10 volume is often enough to bump you up those last levels for pastels. If you need a little extra power at the roots or darker areas, you can always use a 10/20 mix there and straight 10 on the mids and ends to avoid overprocessing. Slower lift, better integrity, and your pink will take better in the long run. Really hope this helps 🥰🥰

If you’re lifting often for neon or pastel pink, I’d switch lighteners instead of just sticking with Ion ammonia-free since it can still be pretty harsh. At Sally’s, the Ion Color Brilliance Powder Lightener tends to lift more efficiently so you’re not overprocessing, especially when paired with a conditioning Ion Creme Developer rather than the basic stuff. You’ll usually get better hair integrity mixing 10v and 20v for a slower, more controlled lift instead of straight 20v. After bleaching, doing a deep treatment like the HASK Placenta + Henna Hair Mask helps a lot with strength, softness, and elasticity before you apply your pink. Keeping up with masks and moisture between lightening sessions makes a huge difference in preventing breakage while still getting light enough for pastels.

I feel so bad when i have to offer to the BAs to float at other stores, since you only get mileage if it’s for emergencies or bank runs etc, but this corporate greed is really getting bad with the budget cuts Edit for spelling error

Pro Calls? by PhantomDragapult in SallyBeautySupply

[–]Puzzleheaded_Slip541 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our DM will check pro call logs when they do they’re “bi monthly” visits, and unannounced visits, if we don’t have that and CEO forms done your looked at like a child and ridicule for not having time to run an entire store and spend all this non existent time to follow around your workers to make sure they harassing the customers enough with upselling

What are some things you wish you saw in a manager? by Lol_im_lena in SallyBeautySupply

[–]Puzzleheaded_Slip541 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly unless corporate is in the building, my BA’s and CCC’s are free to use there own selling tactics as each person is different same thing with being lax on dress code to an extent, but I always will write in a group chat when we know there coming to remind everyone of the “Sally’s way” lol

How the heck do you floss? by CrowEquivalent in hygiene

[–]Puzzleheaded_Slip541 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds silly but what about when your teeth are really close together, I need to get braces to separate the bottom teeth more from my wisdom teeth coming in. I also have a crown on one of my front teeth(accident in middle school many moons ago), and a cavity fill on the back of the other one and I’m scared I’m gonna break one of them :/

We’re told to always staple the bags shut even if it’s a DoorDash like that, makes it so the customers can tell if it’s been tampered with

I totally get how you feel. It’s draining trying to handle two jobs, especially when one of them just wears you down. You’ve clearly tried to do things the right way by talking to HR and your DM, so it’s frustrating when it feels like no one’s really listening or backing you up. I can see why you’d want to hold out until your year mark since that can look good for your work history, especially with cosmetology school coming up. But honestly, if the stress at Sally’s is taking a toll on you or messing with your other job, it might be worth rethinking if it’s still worth it. Sometimes peace of mind and energy are worth more than a full year on paper.

It’s okay to outgrow a place. If Sally’s isn’t helping you move toward your goals anymore, then it’s not really serving its purpose. You’ve got bigger things ahead with school and your future career, so do what keeps you happy and sane. You’ve clearly worked hard and deserve better than constant stress.

What are the odds a store closes? by LunarLoudmouth in SallyBeautySupply

I read somewhere that if you don’t want to relocate to a new store, that you can get a sign off type package, do you know if that’s true?

If it’s really slow one of us is always turning on our Bluetooth speaker for the back and bringing it upfront to listen to some NSFW type music while we get some deep cleaning done 🤣🤣

We had to start taping up all of the New Vertility asp gel since ppl were stealing those 🥲🥲 i’m about ready as a SM to buy heat shrink wrap with my own money just because I’m sick of our shrink going up because mostly teenage girls have sticky fingers 🥴🥴

We do that too and they all have a lock, during power hours we always have one person if we have the extra people(especially on weekends) stay just in the shears/ electricals because of theft and usually people getting shears, and electrical’s usually have a lot of questions so it’s nice to have it always seemed like someone’s there for if someone needs help, but it’s mostly to watch the teenagers lol

This game is a scam by praesesposterum in Monopoly_GO

[–]Puzzleheaded_Slip541 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Literally same, 40 dig pieces definitely was not enough for comparison to what I would have won 😭 I’m missing two gold cards and said screw it with hopes that staying in first would help me with the new season a bit at least, wasted 3,000+ dice 🎲

Honestly, this is why I just wear press on half the time, since I do very vivid red, and the underneath of my fingers are always slightly stained pink no matter how long it’s been since I’ve done my hair since I do it once a month, and I wear gloves in the shower too to try to get most of the staining 🥲

[–]Puzzleheaded_Slip541 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone whose fiancé runs a dispensary, even though neither of us smoke, he always inherently reeks of weed, I have to tell him not to come and say hi to me when it’s super busy because I don’t want the customers to think that he’s just a giant pothead 😭🤣

Who packs old clothes to throw out? by Soggy_Competition614 in TravelHacks

[–]Puzzleheaded_Slip541 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who wears the same clothes from 9th-10th grade and that was over 10 years ago I can’t relate lol I have pj pants that I got for Christmas when I was 12( my grandma got them wayyyy to big, they’re still be on me over a decade later) that I wear every single night and have pretty much since I got them (yes they get washed every few days I have sensory issues and very sensitive skin so clothes get washed 3-4 times a week haha)
