I use Wella color and feel I can achieve most looks from natural to not so natural. I do feel like I cannot get the real pure pigment colors I am looking for sometimes. The bright blues or hot pinks…Continue

Comment by shavonne fortini on February 24, 2012 at 5:34pm: I just did my friends hair. I usually just do a partial. When I first started doing her hair I did a foil and color in between then after that just foils. So I just got done with her hair we did a partial and I put 3/4 6n 1/4 6g in between and when all said in done it looks kinda muddy almost grey even. What can I do to fix it?

Comment by Cheryl J. English on June 15, 2011 at 11:25am: This is for the Davines colorist. I'm curious about the tones that may be added to bleach. What is the chemistry behind this. If your bleach contains persulfates they eat pigment and they can't distinguish between artificial and natural pigment. How does it make chemical sense to mix a tone into a persulfate bleach?

Comment by Steven Fitzpatrick on June 12, 2011 at 9:38am: Hey Johnea,

I know this is in response to an old post but the milk proteins and the fact that Mask color has a neutral pH when it's done processing is why the hair feels so good just after you rinse out the color.

Comment by Anthony Stefano on April 20, 2011 at 10:37pm: Johnea, what makes the davines color line better than the other leading color lines? I curently use loreal right now and just came back from a davines color class but dont see to many things thats makes it better?

Comment by Johnea' Vavrinec on April 11, 2011 at 10:24am: Hey ANthony, I am an exclusive Davines colorist. The entire line from styling aids, shampoos and conditioners to color is the best I have ever used. When I rinse a color client at the bowl the hair feels like they just had a deep condition, yet I h ave not even shampooed them yet. Davines offers more than one bleaching system and the one that you are referring to is L'art Decolor. WIth this amazing system there are 6 direct-dye pigments that be infused into the bleaching system: Brown, Violet, Yellow, Red, Blue & Orange. -And yes, they work AND stay on tone. I have to say that their Mask (permanent) and Mask Light (demi) are the BEST colors I have ever encountered. I am so spoiled by Davines product that I do not think I could switch to anything else. -Regardless of distributor issues, which I too, have encountered. You must be firm and direct in your dealings and all will be well. I LOVE this line. Good luck and feel free to contact me with any questions that you have. I believe it will be the best choice you make for your salon. Good luck!

Comment by Anthony Stefano on April 11, 2011 at 9:44am: thanks judy...also, how was your experience with davines bleach? from what I heard you can mix some of their toners into the bleach??...how does the toner hold or does it fade quickly Example if you put red/copper in with the bleach did it fade out quickly?
