Great technique. Simple, to the point directions. Covered just what was needed to give her a refresh. I would say this is what the average light to medium brown level 5, 6, 7 prefers. Nothing over the top, low maintenance, with an easy, soft grow out. This way will get you more customers in the chair and will have them coming back.

This turned out so well! I was shocked by the outcome! I'm trying to learn how to color my own hair, and foils are very hard. But I thought they were needed to isolate the hair. I have one of the boards, but it's long with no handle and I keep dropping it. Gonna look into one like this!

I still using the hilite cap - old school lol.. i did mine yesterday and for some reason it didn't seem to lift and I used what I always use - not sure if I over did it with the toner. I used same products as I have already done. Not sure if bleach and developer go off?? should last for over a year I am sure??

Hi, Good evening.May i ask a quick question? I've left a few questions and/or comments recently on the feed to various uploads but not had a reply, which i understand totally because your a busy man of course so i know your time is short when replying so thats cool. So just want to confirm, in order to get an answer if at all possible if your not busy, do i need to pay on patreon? The reason i ask, is because i was recently made redundant after 12yrs of service in my job, so i cant really afford (at the moment) to join despite wanting to but as a single mum, my son and bills come first. Which avenue do i need to take in order to ask for your advice which, must i say, i do trust (based on your uploads and initially, what triggered me to subscribe to your channel) as i would love the feedback but don't get it unless from what i see on LIVE stream you need to pa which at present i cant due to reasons explained above. Any time you have to feed this back, I'd greatly appreciate, as I'd love to know how to get answers to my questions due to admiring your advice on tutorials and/ or uploads posted. Kind Regards, Lawton, UK
