When people hear you went there for school, most times you don't need anything else, they will hire you just if you have been educated there. They do things differently there....... its very strict, but don't worry - just be a sponge and you will learn soooooooooooo much. Take a Weekend course until you can afford a week long class, they even have 4 and 12 week. Because everything there is split.....They have the Colorist side of education and the "cutting" side of education.... The 2 do NOT MEET. Oh and Sassoon has had nothing to do with the man for over 40 years, its just his name.....The top Colorist and the Top Cutter in the WORLD ---YES, owned it for 20 years......after I left I heard they sold it but you will never EVER spend better money....it is a tax write-off....and worth every single penny.<br /><br />They have all the info online of course.....pop over there everyone.....I hope every single person interested will follow you....please spread the word....<br /><br />KCAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245158136161062012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-44542970290710017102016-05-29T00:03:18.104-07:002016-05-29T00:03:18.104-07:00Do you have any advise for licensed cosmetologists...Do you have any advise for licensed cosmetologists to further our education on hair color?

It is the absolute worst. I have learned more here than in my almost 15 months of school on the subject of haircolor. Cosmetology in itself is a broad subject, covering hair,skin,and nails. BUT you would think you would get the basics,yeah? Not so much. I can say that what I have read thus far is straight out of the textbook. However, the instructors nor the textbooks don't explain completely:<br /><br />~What is DURP? How is it determined?<br />~Hair Math-Oh man, did a light bulb go off when I read that!<br />~What the number of the developer means<br />~What is the real difference between semi, demi, and permanent color<br />~How to color gray<br /><br />Yes, a student of cosmetology, set to graduate next month learned all the above right here on this amazing blog. Where would I be had I not found it? Right along with the masses of stylists who don't know or understand sh*t about hair color!Kicukalahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05599600734655959188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-66227228351074613182010-02-10T04:06:41.710-08:002010-02-10T04:06:41.710-08:00I want to thank KC for her love and dedication tea...I want to thank KC for her love and dedication teaching us more about our hair and in doing so empowering us. The time you spend on your blog is much appreciated.<br />I just happened upon this article in San Francisco Chronicle, where a color process went wrong with the actress Emma Roberts. <br />Here is the link:<br />http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/dailydish/detail?blogid=7&entry_id=56921<br />Happens....we should not beat ourselves up too much about it.<br />Just follow KC's instruction to a T and all will be well. <br />Thank you ever so much.<br />Anne - St MaartenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-43436919558795803822010-02-09T14:35:41.221-08:002010-02-09T14:35:41.221-08:00That is a tricky issue.
First off, it seems every...That is a tricky issue. <br />First off, it seems everyone now knows what PHOTO SHOP is. For years no one knew what it was, now its in everyday vernacular. <br />With Photo Shop they change the color of hair, I will have my daughter do an example for us when she gets back. So I can show you with photos. She is a very accomplished photographer and is a PHOTO SHOP Wizard...But I don't know if your hair stylist would know that much.<br />I've said many times that I had this infamous HAIR PHOTO NOTEBOOK that was 6 inches thick, had photos of everything possible in it. People were required to look through it and mark 4 loves & 4 hates - when they were brand new to me. <br />Told me a lot about what they truly wanted, so much gets lost in 'word translation'.<br /> <br />But if they showed me a photo of a color and I didn't know their hair yet, I would never tell them what your stylist said. That's an improper answer. You also have to realize that not all people can be ALL colors.<br /><br />Remember if you have a different DURP than the person standing next to you with the exact same Level 6B hair(for example)....you will have different results, if you both have different elasticity. If you have straight hair and she has curly hair it will be a different result.<br /><br />I can make you any color in the rainbow for 1 day.<br />If you want it to last 6 weeks it has to be based on the Dominant Underlying Remaining Pigment, which was put there by God... he has a huge hand in your hair color now and your hair color AFTER it is colored. I used to tell my clients when they would bring me some 8 hour color project-from-Hell...........now, the last step is: for you to PRAY TO THE HAIR GODS UP ABOVE <br />.......as I would set them down to process.<br />All the skill I had and I still prayed. <br /><br />Every single day of my life.<br />Every single day of my career.<br /><br />hth<br />KCAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245158136161062012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-171922059209324439.post-10910335355638463602010-02-09T14:17:36.721-08:002010-02-09T14:17:36.721-08:00Why is it that whenever I`ve brought in pictures o...Why is it that whenever I`ve brought in pictures of the hair color I want they always say "that`s not really the color. Pictures don`t show true color. This is what the actual color is...." And they show me a swatch that isn`t the same color as in the picture! This drives me crazy. re they right? They may be but I wanted the color in the picture that the picture is showing :(<br /><br />LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
