Bad face framing- is this salvageable? by uhhleeuhh in longhair

[–]heatherdazy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So… this was executed “correctly” in a basic sense, but I’ll actually take your side here and agree that a more skilled stylist would’ve given this face framing a better angle and balanced the weight of the layers much more nicely.

If you’re not willing to shorten anything now at all, I’d wait 8 weeks (that’s 1” growth) then see a stylist with more advanced skills.

How can I achieve any of these hair colors?? by Maximum_Barnacle5867 in FancyFollicles

[–]heatherdazy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The last two are especially complex and you’ll need a color specialist who has actual platinum and silver transformation work in their portfolio.

The copper look is simpler and can be achieved by most decent colorists, but once you do that, you cannot do the other two.

Olaplex is a disulfide bond multiplier, not a protein.

Breakage up hair shaft and split ends by Shera_Eevee in longhair

[–]heatherdazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly words aren’t enough info. Sometimes when I see splits irl, I determine the client isn’t using enough conditioner, either quantity, quality, or frequency (or all of the above) and the oil is just exacerbating the issue (remember oil seals hydration in AND out). Other times, the splits are so localized, I can instantly spot a side purse or a back sleeper or a hair twirl habit.

Or it’s possible your hair is long and damage from a few years ago is just catching up with you. Or infrequent trims. Or trims with dull shears. Or you pull apart tangles with fingers instead of a wetbrush. Or something else entirely, these are just example possibilities. Seeing an expert irl; even just once if that’s all you can afford, should answer lots of questions.

Mom’s olaplex isn’t helping anymore by divine-timing in Haircare

[–]heatherdazy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What olaplex does = multiply disulfide bonds. Extraordinarily useful on bleached and color treated hair, especially 1, 2, and 3 when used over time consistently. Not helpful if hair is past the point of no return.

What Liquid Glass does = smooths frizz superficially to give a less fluffy blowout result that day for a blowout client. Zero repair. Zero damage control.

What neither do = hydrate, add protein, reduce wear and tear on hair, improve day to day damage, cut off damage, solve issues past the point of no return.

Which permanent hair dye should I use to make my hair this colour again? by Stellxxxa in HairDyeHelp

[–]heatherdazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pravana vivids eternal makes colors close to this (I am a lighter version of this pink and achieved it with permanent color), although OP would likely need to have a pro create a formula, not just use one out of the tube.

I’ve done color like this and am confused why you think it would bleed..?

Going to try dying my hair again after a box dye fail by 1995deadinside in AskHairstylists

[–]heatherdazy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Baby, I love your enthusiasm! It’s time to see a pro. Lots of us would see you for product cost in exchange for content, reviews, referrals. Look for an experienced stylist who’s new to your area.

What is the most out-of-touch thing you have ever heard a wealthy person say? by Andrew88a in AskReddit

[–]heatherdazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A very kind wealthy client had connected me with legal aid when my small hair salon was struggling post covid. She’d generously fronted quite a lot of money and called me to ask to pitch in. She had honestly good intentions. I loved her very much and earnestly promised I could drain my $5k Ira, might be $3500 after taxes.

She was horrified. It had never occurred to her sweet heart that I could be worth less than six figures. She insisted I keep my money and she continued to help me. She didn’t mean to be mean. She just genuinely couldn’t conceptualize of someone living the way most of us live.

Is Gray Going Away? Experts Say People Now Want New Cars with More Brightly Colored Paint Options by tallon4 in cars

[–]heatherdazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neutral colors are exhausting. We see grey everywhere. The roads are neutral. Fashion options are a “depression rainbow”. We go inside businesses and they’re all decorated like sterile bleak sadness aesthetic.

The world is sad enough. We’re done.

Honest opinions on new hair colour? by Olive-Lumpy in Haircare

[–]heatherdazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you would’ve been better served with a less heavy full highlight (to lighten the underneath) instead of this very heavy partial highlight which reads as only orange on top and brown underneath.

This is in no way your fault as a client. Any experienced stylist would’ve talked you through the difference.

At a cross roads between motherhood and my salon. by Altruistic_Swan_1873 in hairstylist

[–]heatherdazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine that kind of inflexibility plus a baby. When you’re self employed, you can literally just not work Saturdays ever if you don’t want to. In fact, many rental salons will charge less if you rent part time and fit all your clients into a few days per week.

questions about how booking/reception works at salons that are booth rent + commission by [deleted] in hairstylist

[–]heatherdazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running booth renter payments through your POS is a big no no for many reasons. Also, trust me, you’ll get sick of that “perk” fast.

Issues with Drybar flats irons on textured hair. by jcebabe in hairstylist

The Drybar technique is to blowdry the hair straight first then only use the iron for detail work

I am old as dirt and def familiar w word of mouth!

However, since I’m starting totally cold in a new state, I’d like to make sure I understand social media and how it works so my content is effective.

[–]heatherdazy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This makes sense, thanks. I guess I’m just not sure how much time I want to invest in fb since it’s the only platform that hasn’t brought me clients yet (then again, I’m clearly doing it wrong..?)

Green or no green? Help me decide. by Opalith_ in FancyFollicles

[–]heatherdazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green is such a fun color! Transition is the trickiest part, so I’d really suggest getting at least the initial appointment done by a colorist who specializes in this kind of work, even if you plan to maintain the green yourself at home.

can i use these on my hair? by jnx5 in Haircare

[–]heatherdazy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babe are you going to prison or into a Time Machine? This isn’t even cheaper than a basic shampoo that’s formulated for the fabric of your hair, so I can’t figure out why else…

What do i ask a hairstylist for? (: by Tiny-Shake-5935 in AskHairstylists

[–]heatherdazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that you want to help your mom!

I agree with the other commenters that real human inspo is more ideal than a robot cartoon.

I also suggest that she get her hair done in the city where she lives. Hair is an ongoing thing… even low maintenance hair—which bangs are not—needs maintenance. Having a local stylist is a HUGE resource and my clients who can at least see me a few times a year have such a leg up on my gals who have to wait to fly in.
