After being a hairdresser for 23 years (yes I'm old) and a Colour Technician and Educator since 2000, I still love playing with colour. While I love all techniques, for complete change and colour control, you can't go past good old foils. I am a little weird in that I don't tone. I mean, if people want grey or pastel purple, of course I tone but if they want a sexy, creamy, cool blonde, I don't tone. A lot of hairdressers are sceptical of this but I've been doing it for close to 20 years and it works. It's all in your colour selection. Here's an example; Before is an image of a totally gold and brassy client that was having bleach foils with a toner over the top to cool the warmth at another salon. She hated it. It looked like shit (her words AND mine). From visit to visit, the toner would fade. This is because generally,toners are left on for 1 - 5 minutes or less which is not enough time to secure itself in the hair. Here's where I am different. I generally choose between 3 and 4 colours and my thinking is:
These colours combined for this client meant that all gold was eliminated completely.
Because the colours are all processed for the full length of time and not like a toner (for a few minutes at the basin) the colour lasts perfectly from visit to visit. This was a one step process and results are FRIGGING amazing! All colours used were from the RPR My Colour range. Protection was provided by Cureplex. The client was totally blown away and weeks later, it's still on tone. Comments are closed.
