I use them sparingly to avoid over-thinning.
I tried to fix a DIY hair dye job but ended up over-processing the strands. Now the hair feels like straw and the client is understandably upset. How do you handle repair when the initial fix causes more damage?
We learn outdated techniques that nobody wants anymore.
I tried to pay for my license renewal online and the system froze. It took hours to fix, and I almost missed the cut-off. This could easily happen to others. Tell your friends to renew early to avoid trouble. Don't wait until the last minute like I did.
Now I sketch the shape directly on skin for a perfect fit every time!
Had a client come in for a balayage last Tuesday. She was in a hurry, so I tried to speed up the foiling. Ended up with patchy color and uneven tones. Had to go back and correct every section. What should have been three hours turned into almost six. Now I see that taking the time to do it right the first time actually saves time. I never skip steps anymore. My clients leave happier, and I don't have to redo my work.
