Admittedly did a sh*tty job with before and afters on this one which sucks cuz these kinda services bring up what I feel is a deeper struggle and I would have loved to have done a better job giving insight into the issues I’m talking about! (At least with this particular client)
A LOT of my clients have a hard time letting their grays grow in, and rightfully so…we’ve attached the color gray to “old” and “haggard.” (Which seems like a double standard cuz men get to be ‘silver foxes!’
This client has been doing blonde highlights for a while now and it certainly helps blend her grays but there’s still a line of demarcation with grow out that starts to bug her! (Wish I would have gotten a before pic of the top of her head!)
She bit the bullet and we decided to make a shift. We added some highlights but toned everything super ashy to start to get rid of old “blonde” highlights. We’ll prob have to do this 1 or 2 more times but then her natural gray will continue to grow out and that line of demarcation with be hardly noticeable and she won’t need color at all.
Obviously this will be sad for me because it will mean I get to see her less but it means less damage (less time, less money) on her end, which I love!
But we got into a great conversation because she said “I kno I SHOULD have let it go gray a long time ago!”
A plea to my clients…PLEASE DONT ‘SHOULD’ ON YOURSELF!!!
There is NO should! You do whatever you need to do to feel like your best self! Whatever makes u the best mother, girlfriend, sister, employee, daughter, wife…human!!! When you’re ready to make a change, great! Until then, do you (no justification needed!) *this applies to men too but the overwhelming majority of clients who bring it up in my chair are women
Anyways, that’s all, had to post a rant about it because it comes up SO often in my chair!
or (either is great, lol!)
