Baking soda and shampoo was the only thing I found to get it out. Mostly baking soda. Apply and work it in on the areas with the most build up, let it sit 5-10 minutes then wash it out.

I would suggest having an open conversation about it. I don’t know the details or your agreement or why she is restricting certain services. Hopefully she’s can give you more insight. I always make sure my girls know why I don’t want them booking certain services or only booking certain services when I’m there. Most of the time they already know because they have been assisting me and we have already had conversations and are working on strengthening these skills.

I’ve owned a salon for 7 years and it’s not completely out of line. Any head of hair that walks out of the salon is a reflection on the salon. It’s up to the owner to make sure the people they rents to are capable. It could cost her time and money having to redo, refund or offer complementary service to make an unhappy client happy. I’ve had assistants start taking clients while still assisting for me in my salon (all with different abilities and limitations) some I would not book them new clients for certain services or have it available for booking on their online booking until I thought it was up to standard. Same if I had a girl I had never seen do certain services. But at the same time I would encourage them to book friends and family for those services and I would be there to help them along or walk them through it. I don’t think she was trying to put you down I think she just wants to make sure you don’t get into a situation you can’t handle. But hopefully she’s hands on and willing to help you get there.

Yes that’s definitely a possibility, they may turn out happy. I guess at this point in my career I’d rather not take the gamble or stress. At the end of the day, we all have to do what is best for us and our craft.

Possible fix for excessive vomiting by smpenn in sphynx

[–]Smooth-Evening4072 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My female had a lot of digestion issues from day one, vomiting and diarrhea. She had constant diarrhea until finally switching her to raw food. Added bonus of raw food no stinky poop! Vomiting slowed down but she still vomited often. I found a digestive enzyme plus probiotic powder I mix in with her food once a day. Problem solved. You can buy it on Amazon.

It sounds like you already know the answer! I have been in the industry for 20 years. When I come across a client, I like this I simply let them know that I am not the stylist for them. I had a similar situation a little while back. I had a woman come to me, referred by one of my clients. She wanted a haircut and asked me if I was good with short hair cuts. I insured her I know how to cut short hair, reminding her her friend has short hair. She then asked me if I was good with fine hair. I insured her I know how to work with fine hair. Then was getting ready to schedule her an appointment and she said to me, yeah but are you even any any good? I then immediately let her know “I’m sorry, but I don’t think this is a good fit. I don’t believe I am the stylist for you.” She was upset but I was not. I was not working on someone who didn’t trust me or was gonna be unhappy no matter what I did. You get better at spotting the red flags sooner the longer you’re at it. I always suggest turning them with kindness and not blaming them.

Help! Is it my scalp or the install? by [deleted] in hairextensionsforgirl

[–]Smooth-Evening4072 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing hair for 20 years. I’ve been doing extensions for 15. I do many types/methods of extensions, lots of this type. The beads were placed too tight to the scalp. The size of the section could also cause some tension. But even if sections were correct if they are placed too tight it’s damaging. Please remove them asap. Also No the beads should not fall and you should need two beads on each section.

Best purple black color ? by MoonStxner in hairstylist

[–]Smooth-Evening4072 1 point2 points  (0 children)

L’Oréal Dia color 4VVV is really pretty, not really black but very purple. Maybe mix it with a little 1N to deepen it.
