Pro tip: A client in Phoenix had a major toner reaction during a color correction
I was working on a client who wanted to go from dark box dye to a cool blonde, and we were in the middle of a long session. Right after applying the toner, her scalp got really red and started to feel hot. I immediately rinsed everything out with cool water and applied a calming serum I keep in my kit for emergencies. It settled down after about twenty minutes, but we had to reschedule the rest of the service. Has anyone else had a client react to a specific brand of demi-permanent color?
My friend's client broke out in hives from a specific brand's blue-based demi. They switched to a different line with a gentler formula and the client was totally fine. Some brands just have ingredients that don't agree with everyone.
