Day in the life of a stylist

May I introduce my new best friend, Sebastian

In our salon we use Wella products. Up until two weeks ago we used all wella branded products.

Brilliance shampoo and conditioners and finishing products like mousse, wax and spray.

We have now moved to a more elite brand Sebastian that come under the Wella umbrella.

These products can only be purchased in salon and are used in accordance to what the client requires. You can mix and match the products to maximise the clients needs.

Before you even shampoo the client, it is important to know what the client wants from their visit.

For example. Mrs Patrick has long, fine blonde hair, damaged from colouring, would like a bouncy blow dry.

I would tailor her shampoo and conditioner to her needs.

Options in foundation range are-
Hyra-for sun damaged dry hair
Penetrate-for chemically damaged hair
Volupt-for volume
Trilliance-for shine
Colour ignight mono/multi-for coloured hair solid/highlighted

I would do my first shampoo with volupt, second shampoo with penetrate. I would condition with with penetrate.

After my client has been brought to the chair and is going to have her blow dry service. What products to use? Options in the flow range are-

Potion 9/potion 9 light-contains 9 botanical oils you hair requires and is like a primer for your hair. Light is for very fine hair.
Taming elixir-for frizzy hair
Whipped cream-not for fine hair.great for curly hair or course hair
Thickify Foam-great for fine hair,put on mid lengths and ends
Stylixor-to add shine

I would use potion 9 light with thickify foam.

Next I’d add a product from the form range. Options are

Volupt spray-root spray for volume
Texture maker-like salt spray for matte beach look
Drynamic-dry shampoo,also good to use before back combing
Mousse forte-great for setting
Microweb fibre-used in dry hair for texturised look.
0 gravity spray-light hold finishing spray
Reshaper spray-anihumidity spray with form hold
Shaper fierce spray- firm hold spray
Texturiser gel- has rubber extract. Can be used on wet or dry hair.
Gel forte-slight shine, great for short hair
Liquid steel gel-for slicked down shiny look
Moulding mud-great for texturised long hair
Matte putty- great for fine hair and matte look
Craft clay- great hold for short hair.

I would use volupt and mousse forte.

I could also pick from the flaunt range

Trilliant- heat protection before blowdrying and straightening
Shine shaker-great for finishing styles and adding shine.
Shine crafter- water based, put on wet hair for smooth shiny finish. Apply for dry hair to define and add hold to finish
Shine define- great for using before tonging or curling dry hair and after styling for hold with shine
Liquid gloss- put on wet hair to defrizz and blowdry smooth

Once my clients hair was blow dried I would add shine define and reshaper.

Since using these products my blow dries are smoother and my clients hair feels better and looks healthier.

I am still getting my head around all the products and I hope in the next few weeks, using the products on myself and my clients I will be able to show you how awesome these products are.

There is one more Sebastian product I need to tell you about. It’s cellophanes. It’s a direct acting hair colouraning gloss treatment that has no ammonia or peroxide, there for no skin test is required. It is applied to wet hair, a plastic cap is applied and you are put under heat for 20 mins and then rinsed. It works much like a quasi colour

So there you have it! Will you be meeting Sebastian soon?
