Stand Out is one of the most popular for my clients. I think it would be like Kennebunk port. It has been a long time since I have seen that color. A darker red right? I don't know if I still have that color but I will look and see for you. From: Amy Lunde-Pr

Looking at someone's description I found online, "Stand Out" might work, too... have you worked with that one, and happen to know if it would be comparable to the Kennebunk port or High Maintenance? I guess I could buy two bottles, but I don't really wanna spend $30 to rarely use something :D Amy

I think with Groupon you can decide how many you want to sell. There are also local ones you can try. Not sure I would want to do a full set for $10. I know it gets someone in your chair, but usually coupon shoppers will not return to you. They look for a deal and never return. Just know this from

If you are using Eco Air Dry "Semi Permanent soak off gel sealer" the crackle will work. It has to have a chemical reaction to another nitrocellulose based product. So Rhonda is 100% correct. You need to cleanse away all sticky final layers...and apply a coat of clear topcoat before trying shatt

I believe the other issue with Groupon would be the volume. I know of a gym here that did Groupon, they sold a !,000 of them. I met a hairdresser who sold 400. Those kind of numbers would seriously displace existing clients. It's a great concept, but definitely not for me.a sole propriet

Yes,you can fade another color in. In order to get a good fade you need a color that is opaque enough to cover the line of the black and then fade into it. Don't use a sheer. Heavy glittery colors usually do the trick. I do lots of color ac, but I generally do it like a french and change colors
