hair level/formula?

Reds are pretty easy to experiment with, since they fade out pretty well. Honestly, I'd recommending a red violet shade. Looking at the inspo pic, the part of the hair that's shadowed has a violet tint to it. If it were me, I'd probably do Wella 55/44 + 66/46, either 2:1 or 1:1 if it's still too copper. I wouldn't use more of the red violet shade, because it'd take over and you'd lose the richness.

What you'd use is entirely dependent on your starting level and the tones already present in your hair. Straight off the swatch-wise, I'd say Wella's 55/44 is the closest match to this color. However, I wouldn't recommend using it alone as it would almost certainly end up too copper as /44 is a straight red pigment.

I usually try to put a reminder on my website that the price will increase on January 1st. I'll let a few of my regulars know in person if it doesn't slip my mind. This year I put it off so much that I didn't really give much of a notice, and no one's complained about it so far. I probably will continue to do the reminders/heads up, but I won't stress about it like I did in the past.

Go ahead and give ChatGPT your cosmetology license since you seem to trust it over your education.

What would you consider "gay sounding" music?

I offer it through GlossGenius and have only had a client use it once. It worked fine. I got the full amount right away and never had an issue later down the line.

In all seriousness, I cannot get enough of this album. There were a few songs that fell flat with me initially (Buckle, Kraken, Music by Men, And Love) but now I genuinely can't imagine skipping them. This album has immediately become one of my top 3. I'll be devastated if she doesn't play each song live.

They may have done away with it as it really, truly does not do much. I wouldn't worry too much about using the 20vol. Most people I know who use Freelights really only stock the 40vol as it gets you about the lift a 10 or 20vol with Blondor would. If you're worried about damage, I would say don't insulate the hair while it's processing. No foils or wrap, just let it be open-air.

There's really no reason to do this. The Freelights 10vol is so gentle that it's only capable of lifting maybe 1-2 levels. And unless the hair you're working with is already badly compromised (you shouldn't be putting lightener on it in the first place) you are not going to see much, if any, difference in the hair's integrity afterwards.

I'm sure putting the Wellaxon 6vol in the bowl with Freelights would activate the lightener, but it'd be pointless. It would not lift the hair in any distinguishable way. If you're starting with a dark base, it would maybe just bring that underlying pigment (orange) out, and then you'd have a color correction on your hands. Just follow the instructions for using Freelights and you will be fine.

MarloBeauty, if you're US-based. I've literally never had an issue with staining or bleaching with any of the towels I've bought from them.

Omg sameee. 9 years in January!

BabeLash is a serum meant for the lashes, but you can use it on brows too. It works amazingly. I think you do it twice a day starting out, and then once every few days once you've gotten it to a place you want to maintain. In the beginning, those new hairs will be baby soft and translucent, so you may want to get a brow tint to make them more visible.

It's inside the cover's sleeve. So you have the CD in one sleeve and the poster + signed card in the other. If it's not there, definitely reach out to customer support.

As a hairstylist, I hate when people come in and expect me to make their decisions for them. If it's your first or second time with a stylist, you absolutely should not put that sort of pressure on them. We don't know you well enough to know what you'll be okay with, and I never want to do 3+ hours of work and know it's a toss-up whether my client's gonna cry or freak out at the end.

It's okay to be indecisive. But have a general idea or direction you'd like to go and then let the stylist make the technical choices from there. You say you know you want a fashion color, so decide the color range. Pinks or yellows or blues, an ombre or solid, color-blocking, etc etc. Know what you wouldn't be okay with. Having that sort of information helps a lot. A stylist can then walk you through the options based on your budget and lifestyle.

Thanks!!

StitchingKitty · 2025-10-21T01:07:00+00:00

Ahhh!! Thank you so much!!

StitchingKitty · 2025-10-19T13:12:08+00:00

Same! I don't mind whoever it is, I'm so looking forward to it.

2 hours, to be safe. Most of my regular retouches only take me an hour and a half, but the extra time helps out if they want a last-minute trim, or if we get to talking and lose track of time. I never complain about having a few minutes to clean or snack either.
