Can you explain these salon/ hair terms to me?

I'm planning to get highlights but I really don't know what all these terms mean. If you could help at all, I'd appreciate it!





single process tint


virgin tint


hi-lift tint


frost


foil


fillerCan you explain these salon/ hair terms to me?
single process tint- is a simple method of using coating or penetrating tints on all of the hair, while using one of the above mentioned color types: temporary, semi-permanent or permanent colors, to achieve a solid color look. If you never colored your hair, you must use the virgin hair coloring technique . If you previously colored your hair, you must use previously colored hair technique





virgin tint- the color application .must start at 1 - 1 and 1/2 inches away from the scalp and from the ends. The root area (at the scalp) processes fast due to the body heat, and ends process faster due to the high porosity of the hair. After processing the hair for 15-20 minutes, apply the color to the rest of the hair, making sure it is completely saturated and process for about 25 minutes. This is the only time, when hair gets deposited on the whole shaft first.





frost- Hair frosting is similar to highlighting. Each can be used to best effect on different hairstyles. While frosting involves bleaching of individual hair strands, tipping is all about bleaching only the end of the hair. Frosting the hair involves giving an overall salt and pepper look to the hair. Hair streaking is more pronounced when compared with hair highlighting. The effects of hair streaking are striking, since there are bands of color. In the highlighting process, the blend between colors is subtler





foil- foils (the most accurate type of highlighting, but tedious and time consuming technique)





filler- even out the beautiful color of your hair to give you a gourdous ballance


ps my mom is a beauticianCan you explain these salon/ hair terms to me?
of corse i can help


as far as i no a single process tint is just 1 colour all over your hair, but we dont use that erm in my salon so im not 100% on that.





virgin tint- is a tint that is used on virgin hair. (virgin hair is hair that hasnt been treated or colourd before)





hi-lift tint- a bleach used like a tint so it lightens hair.





frost- is just verry fine highlights often appalyed with the hilighting cap and usually verry light in colour or verry ashy!





foil- foil is like strips of tin foil that is used in the highlighting/lowlighting or colouring process.





filler- there are 3 tipes of fillers,


1s that condition hair keep them in good condition


root die can also be classed as a filler.





good luck.

What ';terms'; should i know before going in a hair salon?

i usually get my haircut at home but i am going out to a hair salon to get a haircut this time. What do i need to know before getting a hair cut? (terms and educate), im going to a cheap place like Clips, nothing speical. e.x. styles, need to tip?, etc. thanksWhat ';terms'; should i know before going in a hair salon?
i know for sure to bring a picture (if you have one) of a model, somebody, or anyone that has the hairstyle you want, because if you just tell the persno what you want usually they dont get it right unless you have a picture, unless you're a really good instruction giver. lol.





and, for the styles, im getting mine layered.. it might look good?

What are my rights if a hair stylist(@ a hair salon) messed up my hair and wouldn't give me a refund?

I live in Texas. Licensed hair stylist messed up my highlights so bad, they looked like cheetah spots all over my hair. One thick piece of highlight trned green and had hair fall out in a small place on scalp that left a bloody spot for about a week. I called hair stylist and she avoided me and got the owner of the salon to call me back. Owner was very rude and un-coperative. Told me I would not get my money back! But that I could come in to get it fixed....I said no way! I had to pay to get it corrected and I want to know my rights and if I have a chance in winning in Small Claims Court in Texas.What are my rights if a hair stylist(@ a hair salon) messed up my hair and wouldn't give me a refund?
you CAN take it to small claims court, but unfortunately, it's not worth it. i was so close to taking my ex roomates, i went to the clerk of courts and found out all the info i needed. you have to PAY to take them, i forgot exactly how much, and then besides the main fee, there are a few other fees. also they're not REQUIRED to show up, like a normal court date. if they dont show up, all that can really happen is a portion of the money rightfully owed to you will come from their next pay check, to you, if the judge issues it. and it will only be as much as what you paid. which isnt even worth it because you'll have paid more just to take them to court.What are my rights if a hair stylist(@ a hair salon) messed up my hair and wouldn't give me a refund?
If the owner did not handle this situation to your satisfaction, it may be worth a small claims court trip. A reptable salon should have insurance to cover such claims. Investigate our options locally. There may be free legal advice available in your area.





I do hope you documented your experience by way of photos. This kind of experience is not one any salon would want to be known for and it is a shame the salon owner made no effort to make good on this situation. It is possible that your stylist was a booth renter, in which case the salon owner is not liable for her actions and has no control over her assets or fees charged (to my understanding) as the stylist is considered an independednt contractor within her salon. In this case, you should be dealing with the stylist directly.





Weigh the benefits here versus the cost of filing the claim. Will you be paying more for the chance at getting reimbursed than it's worth?





I am apalled to hear that a professional, salon owner at that, treated you this way. I wish you the best of luck!
ok im a hairstylist ......and really you should have went back into the salon to get it fixed.......thats what salons do .......(redo's)....and if you already got it fixed,,,,,,,there is no proof...not really worth ur time
You may have to find out where to look this up, cuz, I don't know, but, in Washington state, you have up to 7 years to place a lawsuit against a hair salon. So, you could take lots of pictures and go to court. She should have fixed it for free, not wanting to make you pay again. That is not right.
well of course they should fix it i find it strange that they won't but i find it hard to believe ur story now the cheetah spots maybe but thats weird bleach never turns hair green so that is not true maybe orange but never green the problem is you have too much damage in ur hair and too much dyes i just know it...you need a good cut and to go darker for a while no more bleaching

I am trying to open a hair salon. Does anyone know where I can purchase good quality used salon equipment?

I live in Queens, NY.I am trying to open a hair salon. Does anyone know where I can purchase good quality used salon equipment?
Try to contact different hair distributors, they normally sell new and second hand as well. The best thing is to find a beauty salon that are closing. You can also find some in e-bay. I remembered that 2 years ago I bought some in there. I own a salon too, that's why I know this places. Good luck with your new venture.I am trying to open a hair salon. Does anyone know where I can purchase good quality used salon equipment?
Discreetly check with your hair stylist where she got her stuffs from and ask her to connect you with them. Another source is to look for about to close salon, they usually sell all there products (locked, stocked and barrel) at good pricing.
ebay
Call a Beauty Supply Store and they will give you info
Look for shops that are closing down and buy their stuff, beauty supply distributers and wholesalers, and the Internet auctions such as E-Bay.
