I do my own hair for less than 100.00 a year.
40 volume peroxide, high lift toner, additives to eliminate burning, reduce brassiness and accelerate processing.
I get many compliments even from hairdressers so I must be doing it right.
Twelve grand at the salon is just plain nuts unless you’re independently wealthy or in show biz.
I used to spend $150 every 3 months for a cut and color....ombré. Platinum on top. I absolutely hated sitting in that chair for 3 hrs so I learned how to do it myself. I wear my hair a lot shorter now and have platinum (almost white) hair and it looks as good as when I paid someone else to do it. I also use the exact same toner the salons use. I buy it off Amazon.
It’s not that hard to learn how to do it yourself. It’s all over the net. Amazon and Sally’s and I get it done.
