COLOR FAST Photographer 3 WHEN YOU GET IN A CRUNCH Roberto Ligresti WHATS YOUR BEST TIP FOR SHAVING TIME OFF A COLOR SERVICE TRAIN FOR TRUST I invest a lot of time and training into my assistants I trust them to apply and formulate color when Im not available Linh Phan UPSELL TO BUY TIME When highlighting if the client needs a full highlight do a touch up and partial highlight coloring where it counts and where it will be seen If I am backed up I go for treatments to buy me some time This is an opportunity to upsell another service I say Lets do a Tones demi permanent glaze and enhance the color because your length and ends need refreshing I can also offer Aloxxis RRx Treatment if the hair is in need of repair I apply it at the bowl and it buys me some time to get my next client going Clients love the shine this treatment provides and always comment when they leave the salon Teri Dougherty PREP THE PROCESS I believe time management is key I personally dont like to rush any of my color services and believe with the correct thought process behind the technique it shouldnt take you long to do but the result will look like you have spent a lot longer Preparation before every service is important so you arent wasting time on things like preparing foil when youre busy Renée Valerie KEEP CALM COLOR ON When you fi nd yourself in a crunch during a color service my best tip would be to stay calm When emotions rise intelligence drops and you need your mind at these moments You cannot cheat process times or quality of work and if you do it will show What you can do is know when to place fewer foils around the face for a bigger effect or when to take larger sections of hair as you are working below the round of the head The only way to understand these things is to be grounded in creativity and principles In the end it is your understanding and putting into practice your knowledge of the principles that will help you out in a crunch Justin Isaac TECHNOLOGY RESCUE Time has always been an important factor with CHIs hair color products In our color lines we reduced the processing time but with the ceramic technology we have still 100 oxidation of the color pigments Another tip Applying CHI infra high lift ABR NBR and CBR over a level 1 2 or 3 yields brown highlights without bleaching This is what I call time saving Patrick Kalle HEAT WITHOUT DAMAGE A common go to for many colorists when theyre in a crunch during a chemical service is to speed up processing time with heat which can potentially compromise the integrity of the clients hair In these instances the key to preventing excessive damage is to stop the accelerated action of the peroxide with Crystal Gel Wellness Remedy by Malibu C Professional which can be quickly applied right at the bowl so it doesnt add extra time to the service but defi nitely makes all the difference Missy Peterson REFINE AT THE BOWL When time is tight instead of spending 15 20 minutes using a glaze or gloss to fi nish off the color service I would use one of Celebs Gem Lites or Viral Colorwash colors to refi ne my color at the sink while adding shine It takes only seconds If you want even more intensity do two or three quick multiple washes in a row no need to leave it on Stop when you like the color I would then suggest the appropriate Colorwash to use at home to protect their hair color investment If they alternate every other wash with Gem Lites Shinewash or Viral Moisturewash continuous use with it will manage their vibrancy and stop color washout and fade until their next service Leland Hirsch Celeb Luxury co founder 38 modernsalon com PROCESS
