Nightmare of a Hairdresser...

I had a client ask me a question the other day...a valid one for people who are not hairdressers...but one I would like to address so that you may know the answer to my client's question.

My client wanted to know that if in the interest of saving money and working within a budget if I thought it was a bad idea to color her hair at home with box color?  My answer...of course it is!!

I see multiple client every week come into the salon, who have tried to color their hair and home and now they are in the salon having to have it fixed.  And I'm just here to tell you, a color correction is going to run you  a LOT more money than you would have paid to get your color done in the first place.

Now EC, you might say to me, I have a friend that colors their hair at home and it always looks good.  Okay I will say, I'm sure their color looks...acceptable at best.  Chances are its going to be a dull, flat looking color with no dimension...and the worst part, its probably damaged more from the at home color than from a professional color service.

Each time you come to the salon and sit in my chair, I customize a color formula specifically for you, your hair and the results you want.  There are many many things involved in the formulation of hair color, and last time I checked...a box couldn't customize its color just for you and your hair.

Its kind of like this...box colors are made kind of like...Once Size Fits All Haircolor...now I guarantee that none of you go out and purchase Once Size Fits All Shirts, Pants and Shoes...so why would you want that kind of hair color??
