This was so helpful! I am currently an assistant at a salon and starting cosmo school in August. I'm still working on shampoos, especially with rinsing out color and really making sure to get it off the neck without completely drenching the clients back! Love these tips and definitely will be implementing them:) Would love more basic videos like this for us beginners and maybe even a video about your experience in beauty school! :)

[@WholyHair]

I love that! I’m so glad these were helpful, thank you for the suggestions 💗 one thing I will say about beauty school is that it is challenging and takes a lot of patience, but stick with it and you will grow so much once you start working on clients!

[@libbyhay7915]

Same I'm currently at salon doing salon assistant done my first year of study. At my salon we normally two shampoo

[@RanaSarani]

Can you give me a reflection for this video

[@michellemontgomery6281]

Thanks for showing me the right way to wash hair and not get the client wet. I do appreciate the tips on how to wash the right way

[@Isaax0z]

your shampoo lathers so easy! my college has such poor quality, cheap products 😭 i have to put like ten pumps to feel like I'm cleaning the hair properly 😭 starting washing, drying and setting on clients tomorrow so I'm watching loads of videos on them all 😭

[@amarispetty5115]

Okay I totally get the whole school having the cheapest product (mine did too) but just a little tip that even now being in a high-end salon with amazing product, it doesn’t always lather if their hair is on the dirtier side it won’t foam up that great. Wet the hair completely, get a few pumps of shampoo and lather and massage as much as you can, rinse most of the way not all of it cause you’re gonna do another shampoo and this second one will lather so much more! That first kinda breaks up all the oil and dirt and product and opens up the hair, allowing that second one to really penetrate the hair! I hope this was helpful it was when I was still using the cheapest of the cheap! 😊

[@micah12mm]

Thank you much for this! I’m in cosmetology school and I have had trouble with getting my clients clothes wet and watching this has really helped me do better!!

[@belleprado5469]

As someone who had to leave the industry 2 years ago thank you so much for this! The last salon had the bowls attached against the wall so I'm use to shampooing on the side versus behind and I just needed to refresh on what the hand movements looks from behind. I'm restarting from scratch and was asked to come in to do a shampoo and blow out and although I'm experienced I'm still nervous. Some places have specific shampoo experience but standing behind is throwing me off.

[@WholyHair]

yay, I love that💗

[@Teemo147]

One thing I do after I’ve towel dried their hair is give their shoulders a quick squeeze. Learned it from my friend who’s a massage therapist, takes just a second longer and feels good for the client.

[@marshmallowcat4983]

Omgosh thank you so much for pointing out the rinsing part. I always take a bit of extra time to rinse, which is no longer than a minute or or two (especially after dyes). But some people have said something that 'I'm sure it's all out now' or 'you're going to wash all my hair away' was the most recent... and I'm like no I can feel it, I will stop rinsing when I know for sure. Like ugh it's so annoying when clients say stuff like that. Just sit there and shut up and relax.

[@WholyHair]

lol, yes sometimes people can be impatient! esp these days, maybe try and make a little joke about it or something, I always try to lighten the mood to take the edge off of peoples attitudes

[@WholyHair]

Kati Mis thank you, that means so much!! 😊

[@abigailgreffe2091]

I feel always nervous to shampoo because some clients just don’t lean back. The bowls we use are adjustable so sometimes the client isn’t far back enough even if I ask and I notice I’m getting water in their ears ugh

[@WholyHair]

Abigail Greffe I totally get that, it’s hard because everyone is different. Maybe put two towels around their neck instead of one so you don’t soak their back, and don’t worry so much about water in their ears, most people don’t care if a little gets in there!😊

[@BigBri7647]

I'm very tall and a bigger person, so often the bowl is too low for me to fit in comfortably. I haven't yet found a hairdresser that has made any effort to accommodate me, and I am often very uncomfortable at the back wash station because I have to slide down so far in the chair I actually CAN'T lean back into the sink!

[@brandonsclips7741]

Im just here cause the shampoo looks relaxing

How do you position the towel as they're sitting down? I'd love to see placement of that. Thanks for the video! The bowl at the salon I work at doesn't allow me to stand behind it as it's up against the wall. It's so awkward!

[@someasiankid6323]

man I don't know what's gentle and what's rough anymore

it depends on the client, some people have sensitive scalps so it's good to communicate during the shampoo to get the right pressure for them!

[@makeupxmaddiee3728]

This is really helpful. Our shampoo bowls are from the side though. Do you have any tips for that

[@dwzzhs]

Thank you so much for the tips! I have a couple questions though, is it ok for conditioner to get into client's scalp? And how do you prevent to wash the bottom part of their heads without getting their backs soaked? :)

[@WholyHair]

Dwi Azizah Saffanah it’s totally fine to get conditioner on the clients scalp, and it definitely takes practice but once you get the hang of it you’ll rarely soak someone!

[@gregorybueschet9896]

some times when they wash my hair the water some time go's from hot to cold but I tell always tell them that the same thing some times happens to me when I take a shower too and also I should be used to it by now

[@timkopasz986]

Thank you for the tips.

[@swishcamp81]

One step to prevent water from going into the face, I can cover their face with a towel, this also helps clients relax more as well

[@stephaniecastano263]

Do you have a video on how to remove color and shampooing the hair after a single process has been applied?

[@Michael-mf1rh]

Your video gives an idea of a comfortable beginning of a hairdresser appointment. Do you lather your client's hair only once usually? I do like if hairdresser administers a second shampoo after the haircut. This treatment will help to remove hair snips that are still on scalp and among the hair.

[@edieboudreaux1784]

It was taught to me , shampoo 1st time to remove the hair products then shampoo a 2nd time for it to do its job such as moisturize, volumize, and so on.......then conditioner and give a great head and neck massage 💆‍♀️

[@Michael-mf1rh]

@@edieboudreaux1784 That sounds like a very competent teaching. I would love to be one of the beneficiaries of your skills.

[@tropicalbeach9225]

Sweetie, this is good advice and loved watching this video of you giving shampoos.. would love for you to run your fingers through my hair and massage my scalp; my question is? What kind of shampoo and conditioner do you use? for some reason, every barber shop I go to, the shampoo and conditioner tends to dry my scalp and give me dandruff. In my house, I use selsun blue and tea tree conditioner for my hair. When I have another party shampoo my hair at the house; I like to get down on my knees and then the other person scrubs and scratches the top of my head and massages and then afterwards; I then sit down in the chair and let them rinse my hair like you were doing to this lady in the video. I think the key for the best shampoo is scrubbing with your nails and fingertips and seems like most barbers or people don't want to do that these days!

[@LM-ch8rh]

hi. just wondering what shampoo and conditioner you use? thanks.

[@cmk00013]

At a salon I went to, I was constantly leaving with a wet back and shoulders. One day, I was soaked down to my butt, through my clothes. It was obvious to everyone in the salon that I was drenched. I had to leave without getting my hair cut or blown dry. Interestingly, nobody from the salon ever reached out to me with an apology. I never went back.

[@s.c.4133]

Thank you

[@joshandcammi5089]

[@witchyone1052]

[@becauseunicorns1108]

🦄Thank you so much for these beautiful shampoos tips, they helped me out so much today with my first shampoo 🧴 client!🤘

[@songszify]

The stylist I’m apprenticing for puts literally a gallon of hair color on the nape. How do I not soak them?? I can’t get all the color out of their hair and off their skin doing one rinse like you did 😩 help please

[@WholyHair]

Danielle another method I use is I have the client turn their head to either side and carefully rinse the back one side at a time. I think the key it to use your hand to scoop the water down toward the sink as you rinse, it definitely takes practice! Also, make sure the client is situated correctly in the bowl. Hope this helps!

[@songszify]

Wholy Hair do you think this would work even with so much color on the nape?? I just feel like I have to put the water on the nape and scrub at the same time 😭 because there is so much color there!! I’ll definitely try to have them turn their head thank you ❤️❤️

[@WholyHair]

Danielle ya, maybe try to wipe off the excess with a towel before they lean back into the bowl

[@songszify]

Wholy Hair didn’t even think of that!! Thanks girl ❤️❤️ I always feel awful when I see their whole back is wet I’m like I tried so hard 😭😭

[@WholyHair]

Danielle I totally get it, maybe layer two towels behind them before you shampoo just in case, once in a while I get someone wet too! we’re not perfect

[@katevalentine7075]

My stylist always holds my head.Why are you not doing that ? This would kill my neck

[@tracylloyd3163]

Tracy Lloyd yes, sometimes! depending on their hair thickness and lather, but usually I only shampoo once since i’m so busy!

[@WholyHair]

[@chrism.1722]

@@WholyHair I was used to shampoo daily with Wella SP Balance Scalp for several years. I thought I will not be easily convinced to change the shampoo. But another video on youtube aroused my curiosity. I have no regrets about the OLAPLEX shampoo that does already cause a most special feeling when it is rubbed in one's soapy palms. I have a real good feeling about this shampoo that does not contain a lot of less recommendable ingredients as most shampoos do. Great especially because I have to shampoo daily.

[@kwk111]

Question from a customer pov: I always wash my hair (short) at home right before a barber appointment . This is because my neck feels horrible on those sinks, and I decided I'm not gonna risk an injury, even if it's not super common. I've heard of a few cases where the customer has even gotten a stroke like that, which is why I'm adamantly against it. Unfortunately there's a trade-off: the cuts aren't quite as refined on dry hair as they were on wet hair. Any advice?

[@amarispetty5115]

They should be laying towels down where your neck lays to give you cushion against those hard a** sinks. If they aren’t doing that then you can always ask them to lay a towel down. Even though I do think the client shouldn’t have to ask that, it should be complementary.

[@davidw4781]

Wow, shampooing a client looks plain simple; I didn't realize that there are many protocols that goes into it.

Have you tried Olaplex shampoo? I would also shampoo twice and see if it lathers the second time, if you have product in your hair sometimes it doesn't lather the first time
