Emilie Fitte Makeup Professional

My colour top-up process!

I recommend all clients book between balayage appointments, typically around 3 months after their initial service.

Steal my process 👇🏼

Step 1 - Pre Lightner, I use the L’Oreal 9 level bonder inside
Step 2 - Tone, Dialight L’Oreal
Step 3 - Treat, I use Kerastase Blonde Absolute
Step 4 - Dry, for Smooth, Shape, Bounce

And just like that we have a gorgeous French Vanilla Blonde that will last an other 3 months before my clients next appointment.

If my suitcase is packed, you can guarantee kerastase Soleil is coming with me. ✈️☀️

Between the sun, sea, and pool days, hair goes through a lot on holiday. Soleil helps keep my hair hydrated, smooth, and protected,

Your SPF shouldn’t stop at your skin. Your hair deserves protection too,

A little holiday luxury that makes a big difference 💛

The consultation isn’t a box to tick, it’s one of the most valuable parts of the appointment.

This is where trust is built, expectations are managed, and the plan is created.

It’s your opportunity to understand your client’s goals, assess their hair honestly, explain what’s achievable, and set both of you up for success.

The best transformations don’t start with colour,they start with a great consultation.

Never underestimate the power of slowing down and asking the right questions.

Looking back through my camera roll and missing holiday life 🍹

One of the biggest mistakes I see is treating every foil as if it develops at the same speed.

Your first foils have had longer to process than your last, so your removal strategy should reflect that.

Small adjustments like removing the back first and choosing your oxidants intentionally can improve your timing, your results, and your client’s overall experience.

Efficiency isn’t about rushing, it’s about working with purpose.

After 15 years behind the chair, I’ve learned that hairdressing is about so much more than hair.

It’s about listening, building confidence, expressing creativity, and creating genuine connections with people

•People want to feel heard: A great appointment starts with listening. Over the years, I’ve learned that understanding someone’s needs is just as important as the service itself.

•Confidence is everything: I’ve seen how a fresh colour or haircut can completely change how someone feels. Helping people leave feeling more confident never gets old.

•Every day is a chance to be creative: No two clients are the same, which keeps me inspired. Hairdressing has taught me to stay creative, adaptable, and always open to learning.

•Relationships matter most: The biggest lesson I’ve learned isn’t about hair, it’s about people. The trust, loyalty, and friendships built over the years are what make this job so special.
