There IS an alternative solution that will eliminate the need for any bleach for your Hi Lift Color Treatment services. The formula I have been using since 2006 is as follows:
- Clairol Professional Soy 4plex Permanent Liquid Color : 12AA-BV
- 30 VOL Developer
- Process for 40 minutes.
This formula eliminates the need for toning and foils. I then conduct a post hydration treatment which leaves the honey brown colored hair feeling soft, not brittle.

Thank you for posting a question in the Collective Conversation.
Over the course of my career, I have conducted quite a few independent research studies. One was Client Language and Behavior. The researched showed that typically, the client is requesting styles that aren't suitable for the climate because they are new to your climate and are unaware that the products and style must change as well.
This creates an amazing opportunity for you to educate your client by asking: "Are you new to living in a dry climate?" 9 times out of 10, the answer from the client will be "yes!" This is your chance to offer your alternative solution which are the products and styles you offer and ask if there is a day and time that works best to schedule.
Not only have you educated the client but you also have made a great first impression and most times, you also have gained a new client!
If you still have questions, you can reply and post it here.

Greetings Beauty Pro Guest, Insider or Collective member!
Thank you for asking a question in our Collective Conversations. The most effective way to manage a healthy and professional balance with clients is to utilize your booking site to it's full functionality. Often times, we choose to handle all client bookings and questions as they come but as we all also know, it can come at a time when we are handling our personal lifestyles which is mentally frustrating. The alternative solution that my mentor recommended was obtaining a professional booking link where you can clearly state all services, time duration, pricing, styles, policies, procedures and rituals. The booking link speaks for you so no client ever feels slighted.
Our goal as Beauty Pros is to work smarter, not harder.

Able to text!

What is the engagement you get from clients on social media? Mine seems lost. A few likes but no new bookings from social media--mainly word of mouth.

I have the same issue. I get traffic but not returning clients.
