Most importantly, Caissie never recommends clients attempting an at- home box dye or a "professional colour" purchased from a store, as the results can be catastrophic. "Our lighteners and colours are specifically designed to be customized for your natural hair colour so attempting to do it at home will only result in a costly colour correction. The worst thing we as hairstylists,can see is a client leave after a long costly correction without with the appropriate post-colour products." he said. "Drugstore shampoos are not the same quality as our products at all. Professionals can't guarantee their work if the client goes home and uses cheap quality products on their hair and expects the same results." Caissie said. It costs to have beautiful blonde and it's worth it if you can have an open honest relationship with your stylist. "Do blondes have more fun?

If mostly purple and blue, you have a cool undertone, If mostly green, then a warm undertone is complimentary. Mastering the art of the perfect blonde is a process, and not to be rushed, advises Caissie. The hair has to be safely lifted out, perfectly timed to prevent over- processing, and kept consistent in tone. "As everyone's hair lifts differently and at various processing times, my clients are prepared to relax and trust the process until their hair has safely arrived at it's desired shade. Quite often, my blondes won't require a toner or gloss to ensure maximum longevity of their colour." Brassiness and unwanted warmth are the results of inconsistent processing time.
