Yeah Beth's right. Also, what my sister used to do is bleach it (from home though) then put a semi - permanent honey blonde dye the next day.

yeah course, when you go to a hairdressers they tend to show you the colour samples..


if your going for a NON bleach blonde barbie girly look then ask for a natural golden blonde..


as for the thinning of hair, ask for some advise on products, they usually have tons of lotions and potions that are specific for everyones hair type..


hope i helped :)xx

Approximately how much will it cost to get my hair stripped at the hairdressers?

A couple of months ago i dyed my hair black and now i want to go lighter....an auburn colour and i tried dying it but my hair didn't change colour and i was told that i had to get it stripped. And i know that it will be expensive...does anyone know approximately how much it will cost???Approximately how much will it cost to get my hair stripped at the hairdressers?
i have been a hair dresser for 15 years and i am gonna tell you that stripping your hair is a very expensive job and a very time consuming job black is the wost color to get out it is going to depend on how long your hair is and what color you are wishing to acheive. but yes it will cost you. i allways tell my clients never touch their own hair with a chemical because i will just have to fix it and it cost moe money to fix than to do .Approximately how much will it cost to get my hair stripped at the hairdressers?
It depends on the length of your hair but figure between $75 to $150. Best advice I can give you would be to leave it alone for a few months and wash it as often as possible as this will help eliminate some of the black color. Conditioning is very important so I'd invest in a reconstructive conditioner.
This will depend on the city where you live, also depend on the lenght and volume of your hair. I'm a hairdresser and I charge starting from $50.00 + and I live here in Canada.

Why do hairdressers always want to cut long hair?

they ALSWAYS do. I know this lady and she has the most gorgeous long hair and there always badgering her to dye it funny colors and cut it dramatically short. Same with my mother. My mom has really long hair and this one time she went in for a trim, but came out with about 6 inches off! when she only asked for one. Why do hairdressers always want to cut prett, long, hair?Why do hairdressers always want to cut long hair?
I don't know and it irritates me to be perfectly frank about it. My hair is very thick and goes down to my rear end. I am always getting compliments on it. whenever I go for a trim, the person wants to cut 8'; off. I have had to stop a few scissor happy stylist from time to time. I would not normally mind but my hair grows extremely slowly. It has taken me 30 years to get it this long and I don't want it chopped off in 15 minutes. No, I don't think my round middle aged face would look good with one of those over 30 super mom helmet cuts..I would look like an over 30 super mom with a helmet. If I want to go around looking like a hippie then that is my business and not some clip happy hairdresser's.Why do hairdressers always want to cut long hair?
Sometimes people with long hair have the same style for years, and hairdressers just want to suggest a new cut or color to spice it up a bit, and not necessarily a dramatic style. The reason why they suggest to cut off so much at times is because the client most likely has very damaged ends. I've seen tons of women who come in thinking their hair looks gorgeous just because of their length, but in a stylist eyes, its more likely an x amount of inches of damaged hair. Healthy long hair looks nice, and usually its because that person has kept up with their routine trim, which maintains it nice and healthy. So if a hairdresser suggests more than what you're asking for, he/she is probably noticing that much damaged hair. But hey, the client wants what they want and should get what they ask for, so the saying ';the customer is always right';.
yeah I know what you mean... I have long hair and I'm only 20 so it's not like I'm ';too old'; to have butt length hair (even though I have no idea who decided that older women can't have long hair.. I've just heard people say it a lot). I take very good care of my hair, I rarely wash it so it doesn't get dry, and I cut out all of my split ends, so its not like they're trying to cut off the split end BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY. but they STILL want to cut off 5 inches when I ask for a trim. so I know I didn't answer your question, but I just wanted to rant along with you. :)
lol omg this so TRUE cuz everytime ive went to a salon for a SMALL trim or jus some normal layers they went and cut off like from a half a inch hair that i asked 2 be cut to like 5 inches off lol they always are like u should get it shorter and im always bein rude n sayin NO lol but they still do it and im kind of known in my school 4 my long big hair and they always seem to want it short! and i hate! short hair lol idk y they do it i think its cuz they luv to cut alot loln or they just stupid!
Because they're going to get more money out of short hair. Think about it, long hair doesn't need a regular cut to keep its shape, or any special products to take care of it and stop it from looking awful, unlike short hair. Women with very long hair usually use all natural and homemade products, so the stylist isn't going to earn any commission, are they? Hairdressing is a business.
Because they are a artistist with hair and they want to transform the person. They want to practice thier artform.
There is a name for it, it is called scissor-itis.
I dont know but its annoying and rude! I like my hair long...I feel more feminine with long hair.
it depends, but usually when women have really long hair, no matter how healthy it is, it can make her look dated. Most women with long hair don't want it cut initially, but after they see it, they never want to grow it long again!
because they probably have damaged, split ends hair which needs cutting

Why do hairdressers look at themselves in the mirror while doing your hair?

It's as if they are actually holding a conversation with, well, themselves! What are some of your opinions on this?Why do hairdressers look at themselves in the mirror while doing your hair?
Personally I have a hard time being around a mirror and not looking in it. I think a lot of people are like that





It could also be that they're getting a look at your hair cut from the front through the mirror

Is it ok to go into hairdressers with a picture?

if i have a picture of a hairstyle i like, i would feel like a douche walking in with a picture.





do hairdressers mind at all if you take in a picture and show them what you would like?Is it ok to go into hairdressers with a picture?
Nope everyone does. I would think it would be easier for the hairdresser than just trying to exlplain because they would have a better idea of what you want. Good luck!Is it ok to go into hairdressers with a picture?
Yes it is! They often like it because it makes it easier for them to know what you want and then you don't have to worry about using proper terms. Also, if you're getting your hair dyed your hairdresser will be able to get the exact right shade. ;)
uh, yeah! its the best way to get them to know what you want. why would u look like a douche?!?!?! hairdressers appreciate it if you help them out, because they feel bad if you don't like what they did. trust me, my sister did my hair at her shop and bothered me for weeks apologizing because i wasn't a big fan of the haircut.
yes, you can. i find that hairdressers often do better with a picture to work off of, so it is encouraged.
Of course! they may not be able to do it perfectly but they can see what you want. I feel really lame bringing in pictures too, but they are totally fine with it don't worry!
yes it is my friend got hers cut like Selena Gomez. and i got layers off of a picture.
Take the picture with you....sure beats trying to describe what you want.
That's perfectly fine
it helps them really


you get better results normally too :)


do it!

I want to find out details of ';Rent A Chair'; arrangements for hairdressers and/or beauticians?

I have been advised of a range of potential agreements including hourly rates, weekly rentals and profit shares. Can anyone tell me industry standard rates, what works best from both a salon owners point of view and individual hairdressers. Are there tax implications, links to contract formats etc online? Is it better to be a company structure or sole trader?I want to find out details of ';Rent A Chair'; arrangements for hairdressers and/or beauticians?
it really depends on what side you are coming from. i own a salon and my stylists are paid on a 50% commission. from an owners point of view chair rental would be easier but you also have less control of employees because they are considered independent contractors. there are a lot of tax requirements for commission paid employees. i would suggest getting an accountant at first. if they rent a chair you as an owner are not responsible for their taxes, only your own. i am a sole-proprietor and that works for me but there are advantages and disadvantages for both so your accountant can help you with that as well. hope this helps......if you have any other questions i can help you with you can email me at skullzsalon@yahoo.com

  • This is a question for professional hairdressers?

    I have been coloring my hair red, I am thinking of changing it to a light golden brown, is this possible being that my hair is a light auburn color.This is a question for professional hairdressers?
    yes its possible.This is a question for professional hairdressers?
    13 years on the job tells me that you need some professional help. It he brown you want is lighter on the levels chart than the red you have you will have to strip the red. it will cause the light brown to be very warm and ruddy looking. Colr does not remove color so make no mistake, stripping will be involved. Good luck
    Yes, this is possible. Try using a semi permanent color so if you are not completely satisfied it will wash out and you can use another color in just a few days.
    it is possible but should be done professionally, i am a hairdresser going through the same thing.....I have red on my hair and wanting my natural light brown color back and mine isn't satisfactory even after stripping the red out and applying the brown.....Red is hard to keep in and hard to get out....go figure. PLease don't try to do this yourself.
    yes, but please don't do it yourself unless you have had several color classes. and don't allow ANY stylist do it , either. make sure it is someone who KNOWS their color.
    hey ..an easy way to do this is to add a little baking soda to your shampoo...about a dime size amount..once a week...plus deep condition to ensure you do not dry out your hair
    yup
    But do have it done professionally. Reds are unpredictable when coloring your own hair.
