Thinking of Do-it-yourself Color? Think again!
September 20, 2011
Do-it-yourself hair color may seem quick, easy and inexpensive, that is, until something goes wrong. Hair Care Forum stylists use only the best products and for this reasonl, we stand behind our results. Here are a few reasons why stylists are better than boxes:- They have the knowledge and the expertise required to give you the exact look you want.
- If you don’t like the result of do-it-yourself hair color, you’ll have to figure out how to fix it and probably end up paying twice as much as you originally planned on spending. If you are unhappy with salon hair color, your stylist will do whatever it takes to make sure you leave the salon happy.
- Do-it-yourself hair color is messy and stressful. You have to make sure you leave it on for the perfect amount of time, don’t stain your hands or clothes, and follow the directions exactly.
Our advice is to relax and let a professional stylist take care of it. We are comitted to exceeding your expectations!
Is It Time To Refresh Your Current Hairstyle?
September 9, 2011How do you decide if it’s time to refresh your current hairstyle? Well, if you’ve worn your current hairstyle long enough for it to make a comeback, then it’s time to make a change. That might be the easiest clue but you could be missing other hints that you need to make a change. Here are some questions to consider when deciding whether or not you should make a change:
Does your hair feel dry or coarse? Has it lost that once silky smooth feeling? Conditioning treatments are a simple, cost effective way to transform your hair immediately, keeping it frizz-free, healthy, and shiny for weeks by feeding it the nutrients it craves.
Is your hair color faded or drab? A good way to determine this is by holding your ends up to your roots (If your hair is chin length or longer). If you notice a difference in the color then you can thank sun damage and other environmental factors. If the difference between the root and end color is about two shades, then you need overall color to refresh your locks.
The key to making the right changes at the right time is a good relationship with your stylist. For the best results, a stylist needs to really get to know you to understand what will work – not just with your face shape and skin tone – but also with your lifestyle.

GUIDELINES FOR ACCEPTABLE DONATIONS- Hair that is colored or permed is acceptable.
- Hair cut years ago is usable if it has been stored in a ponytail or braid.
- Hair that has been bleached (usually this refers to highlighted hair) is not usable. If unsure, ask your stylist. We are not able to accept bleached hair due to a chemical reaction that occurs during the manufacturing process. **If the hair was bleached years ago and has completely grown out it is fine to donate.
- Hair that is swept off of the floor is not usable because it is not bundled in a ponytail or braid.
- Hair that is shaved off and not in a ponytail or braid is not usable. If shaving your head, first divide hair into multiple ponytails to cut off.

- Layered hair is acceptable if the longest layer is 10 inches.
- Layered hair may be divided into multiple ponytails.
- Curly hair may be pulled straight to measure the minimum 10 inches.
