Advice needed on hair colouring (merged)

Hairdressers usually have signs in window or just ring the bigger salons and ask.

Also in Sept. look for a hairdressing college. Not free but very cheap. I had my roots done and loads of packets of colours and a cut and blow dry for £30 by a level 3 student.

How do you find out what hairdressers are looking for models? & do they color or style hair as you want it or how they want to do your hair?

Gumtree! (www.gumtree.co.uk) search under hair models as searching under anything else brings up weird people scamming for dates-- if none on their, visit local salons and ask, visit local colleges that have beauty courses on and ask, also visit academies of beauty or salon schools. Google to find out if any are near you, in London for example, we have L'oreal, Toni and Guy, Vidal Sassoon and the London College of Fashion. That does not mean they don't have schools across the country, it just means they have some here. Also, try contacting the academies and emailing to ask them if they ever advertise for models and when they do.

Hi all,
Out of interest has anyone tried Superdrugs own semi permanent hair colour? I often see it on offer 2 for £3.99 which seems very reasonable. I am starting to go grey on my sides and would like to cover it.
Regards.

I usually go to the hairdressers to have my colour done. i use the root touch up kit after about a month which works fine and then i may even use a semi permanent after another month.

i cannot afford to go the hairdressers for colour touch ups every month so my husband helps me by putting the colour on.

I've used this range and have found it to be fuss free with decent coverage + it's not tested on animals which is a thumbs up to Superdrug.

Thanks for the info, I have heard you don't get many washes with Superdrugs semi permanent colour, how many washes do you get?

Out of interest could anyone tell me what is the best semi permanent hair colour?
Regards.

IMO its special effects if you want unusual colours (neon) and Clairol Natural Instincts for normal colours (I change my hair ALOT lol)

I find I don't get many washes using any brand of hair color. My hair tends to fade quite quickly.

As for best semi, I like Boots Botanicals. It has a nice range of colors and really conditions the hair.

Thank you for your comments, I am guessing that most people will have their favorite hair colour brands.
