It's all about the color



We had guest speaker from Matrix today. Matrix is one of the major cosmetology brands of color (as well as shampoos and conditioners). We almost exclusively use Matrix colors due to their ease of use and quality (I used Matrix's Color Sync on Heather's hair). Anyhoo, we were given an overview of what new colors Matrix has released as well as the proper procedure for mixing and applying the color. I've said this before in a previous post, but although your hairdresser makes coloring or highlighting your hair look easy it really isn't. One misstep in the process and you've got green hair (or worse, no hair). Still, it's extremely gratifying when you color someone's hair and their face lights up after they see the finished result (it also helps with getting a nice fat tip). Color is one of the more popular processes these days and I'm working hard to master as many of the intricacies as I can. The payoff, both in gratification and financially, is extremely rewarding.
