Ten Things You Should Know About Hair Color and More!

I got a phone call this week from someone interested if she could make an appointment with me for corrective hair coloring.  The customer said she has been everywhere and no one can get her hair color right. She complained about the stylist would not rinse out all of the hair color, it turned red, and to my surprise she paid for it. Strange. Can you fix it she asked me. I said I cannot see what your hair is like over the phone, but please if you like make an appointment. OK she says I will call back. STRANGE.

1. Hair color is not permanent it is artificial, tone lasts 4-6 weeks and then it fades.
2.  Don’t pay for a hair color service if you are not happy.
3.  Always make sure you and your stylist/Colorist are on the same page, Consultation!
4. Well water will fade out artificial hair coloring faster than when you have regular running water.
5. Never use protein on Blonde hair, it will dry it out!
6. Coconut oil and Almond oil is the best treatment for degraded hair.
7.  When you change your hair color, change your makeup.
8.  Change your hair color every season, and if you have blonde hair change the tones of it as well.
