How can I enrich my haircolor in between visits to the salon. It gets faded out from the sun.?

The hairdresser uses permanent hair color. In the beginning, it's a medium reddish brown. The sun fades it to a brassy light auburn. This color washes me out, I have light olive skin. I need a richer color.How can I enrich my haircolor in between visits to the salon. It gets faded out from the sun.?
first of all, try using a sunscreen for the hair. it helps protect your color.





also, use a shampoo/conditioner made for color-treated hair. not the cheap Pantene, it has too much ammonia in it. Buy higher quality stuff. Also, you can use a semi-permanent hair dye for in between visits. It contains less chemicals, and is not too damaging for your hair.





***I would like to stress not using Pantene Pro-V. It has too much ammonia, which will actually strip your hair of its color (which is good for blondes and blondes only), and dry it out as well. Paul Mitchell has an excellent line for color-treated hair.***How can I enrich my haircolor in between visits to the salon. It gets faded out from the sun.?
Have you noticed that about two weeks after you get your hair colored or highlighted, it begins to fade? Not significantly, but just enough so that it doesn't look as vibrant or rich as it did when you first colored it. It's possible to minimize fading with the use of color enhancing products. Plant-based dyes applied to the hair's outermost layers impart a subtle color lift. When used between salon visits, they give the perfect boost to help maintain color. Here's what you should know.

good luck!
try using sun screen for the hair, they usually come in spray form. I also use pantene pro-v blonde expressions. it brings out my natural highlights in the roots and helps my salon highlights stay in longer and make the two look more blended. if your not blonde, they have it for brunettes and redheads too. pantene pro-v has a really good hair sunscreen product too.

Can anyone recommend a great child oriented hair salon in the High Point- Greensboro area?

My son will be going for his first haircut today- He is just under 2 and doesn't really have a lot of hair on top but the back is starting to grow and he's trying to get tangles in the ';swirl'; area- I would really like his first cut to be fun and know that the person doing it is used to wiggly wriggly children. I would like suggestions of specific places please!

How much are you supposed to tip at a nail salon?

It costs $32 and I gave her $5. Is that too much or too little or what?How much are you supposed to tip at a nail salon?
depends if she did a totally awesome job, or a sucky oneHow much are you supposed to tip at a nail salon?
I have been a waiter for over 3 years. I have worked in upscale restaurants, as well as corporate chain ones. I earn 18% of everything I sell at the current upscale place. This is considered nice for most waiters. You tipped over 15%. I have a girlfriend who never tips when she gets hers done. I would say these people will continue to take very good care of you, in turn for your kindness. Most people don't tip waiters more than 15%, so I would say you did a very good job. 10-15% is good, if they absolutely wow you, then you can always give more. But most people who work for tips are happy with anything more than 10%.
Just do want you feel, if they did a great job, tip away. If not go lower.
id give her a little more, 10 being the highest.

  • Are a washer and a dryer required in a hair salon?

    I AM OPENING A NEW HAIR SALON IN PLANTATION, FLORIDA.





    I CAN'T FIND IN ANY WEB PAGE EITHER FROM THE CITY OF PLANTATION, OR FROM THE FLA. DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL REGULATIONS, ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THIS.





    PLEASE HELP!


    THANK YOU!Are a washer and a dryer required in a hair salon?
    Check with the city or state level health department, also the state department that handles salon licensing. I am not in the field but I am a customer who tries to be aware of what is typically needed to provide services. Since salons need to have a ready supply of clean towels, it only makes sense that they need an easy way of washing the dirty ones daily. When I think about it, every place I've had my hair cut has had one, even though they are smallish.Are a washer and a dryer required in a hair salon?
    Call up the State board....But I would think you'd want one even if they're not required, What would ever happen if you ran out of clean towels? People wouldn't want their soping wet hair ontop of their head, or using dirty towels...You'd lose business that way.
    In Maryland, a washer and dryer are not required. You could call your State Board and ask them.

    Is it bad to use a heat dryer at a salon when coloring your hair?

    my friend told me a telltale sign of a bad salon is one that uses heat dryer to spend up the coloring process, such as beauty brands. is this true?Is it bad to use a heat dryer at a salon when coloring your hair?
    Not necessarily. Some color additives such as color accelerator drops require heat to activate, and the heat source should be a dryer. However, I am always leery when I see colorists use a dryer to speed up foiled highlights. While this can be done successfully, it takes special application on the stylists part to prevent the bleach or color from bleeding, which results in stripes or spots at the roots. I find heat lamps to be more predictable when processing foils (particularly when it comes to a beginner stylist), but then, it just depends on the stylist and what they have been trained to do.


    Bottom line is, if you trust the stylist is experienced and you see clients leaving his/her chair with good looking haircolor, then you should trust the stylist to know which heat source will work best. Every stylist has their own way of doing things, and if the results are good, then their method is fine. However, if you are unfamiliar with the stylist, and feel uncomfortable with their practices, then it might be in your best interest to ';shop around';. The best way to find a good stylist is to ask people whose hair you like which stylist they go to.Is it bad to use a heat dryer at a salon when coloring your hair?
    no actually some hair needss heatness to open up the cuticle and thus makes thr process fastser
    Nope,Heat makes it process faster.

    Do you like getting your hair shampooed at the hair salon?

    I'm a shampoo asistant wondering what client's like.Do you like getting your hair shampooed at the hair salon?
    I love it! :) I drop by about once a month for a shampoo and blow dry, it's great and a nice way to relax. I go to different places to see what they're like, it's great when they give you a nice long massage, some places don't spend long enough or only wash it once.Do you like getting your hair shampooed at the hair salon?
    Hey,





    Haha it's my favorite part. At my salon, the shampoo always seems cold so it feels so fresh and good on my scalp. Plus, I always feel like they get my hair really clean.


    However, when I sit in the chair and put my head into the sink it makes my neck hurt -SO- bad. I would suggest getting padding around it or some kind of spongy thing to get rid of the pain. Haha, one time my mom got her hair done and she had neck cramps from it the next day! I always hate that part.


    Also, there is this one lady who shampoos my hair like death. :P She seriously like pulls my hair so hard and I am suprised I'm not bald sometimes. That's just one lady though. I would try to be gentle and soft with the clients because people like me have a sensitive scalp!





    Overall that, I still enjoy it! I like this question, haha. I never knew I had so many thoughts about getting my hair shampooed so thank you!


    -Audrinna
    I LOOOOVE getting shampooed! Especially when the shampoo girl uses warm (not hot) water, and uses her fingerpads and massages my scalp really hard
    Yeah I guess.....but last time I had this awful lady who was abit inexperienced, abit of water dripped down and she kept banging my head against the basin.
    yup, but especially the free scalp massage at the place where I go
    I feel like they don't rinse the conditioner out properly.
    Yes, the place I go to gives 20 minute head massages.
    i do as long as u massage my head good :)





    i do however think it is stupid how salons charge extra for washing and blow drying it and do it n e ways w/ out asking, id rather the price be more and then just included ... its not the $ it just sounds stingy
    Oh i shampoo clients hair!


    Its fine shampooing peoples hair, just ask them if the water you are using is the right temperature, if they are comfortable and when you massage their head that it is alright.





    Hope this helps!

    Are you supposed to tip the owner of the nail salon if he does your nails?

    My mother told me you don't tip the owner, but I feel strange about this. Advise?Are you supposed to tip the owner of the nail salon if he does your nails?
    Yes, I tip the owner BUT only if he/she did a good job. One time I got cuts on my fingers while they were doing my nails. I got mad and I didnt tip them!Are you supposed to tip the owner of the nail salon if he does your nails?
    yes, I do tip ...
    It depends on where you are. I find it weird to tip anyone but waiters/waitresses and people who deliver food, to be honest.





    But even if you do tip manicurists, this is something extra on top of their pay, which is really low in comparison to what the owner makes (I know people who work in salons)! So why tip the owner, he takes out expenses/ employees salaries and everything else is his anyway. Unless it's someone you know well and you know is struggling, I think it's unfair to tip him. (May even be preceived as bad manners, implying his salon is not doing well enough for example)
    tipping whoever did your nails is an act of courtesy.
    You dont tip your stylist AND the owner. But if the owner did the work then yes!
    yes! you tip anyone who does you a service (provided you are satisfied with the results) it doesn't matter if it is the owner or an employee if the service is good and you are happy TIP..... and the next time you may get even better service...
    It is good etiquette to tip whoever does your nails, even the owner. If you didn't give a tip they may not put as much effort into your nails the next time you come in.
    no! if he's doing your nails its because your paying him...you can if you want to....
    I would say yes tip the owner
    It is customary to tip anyone who has provided you with good service. It doesn't matter if he is the owner. If he did a good job, you tip him for his service.
    No, but you can tip that person who did them, if they did a great job
    no not the owner but the person that did your nails, only if you like the way they did them


    %26lt;3
    I always tip no matter if it's the owner or not.
    whoever does the service should be tipped as long as they deserve it...it doesnt matter if she is the owner of the shop
