The "Call A Hairdresser" video, virally making its way around social media, draws attention to the “horrors” of at-home hair color. In a campaign to educate consumers about the benefits of a professional hair color service, the "video spoof" portrayed in a Blair Witch format features clients sharing the "horror" of their at-home color mistakes. Watch it, share it with your staff, post it on Facebook and share it with your clients!
SOME OF MY FAVORITE REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD CALL A HAIRDRESSER (for the full TOP TEN, visit callahairdresser.com)
1. A salon colorist is a professional, someone you can trust to independently assess what's right for you. With at-home color you have to put your trust in a box that doesn't know what processes your hair has been through over time. Nick Arrojo - ARROJO, NYC
2. You wouldn't do your own dental work or give yourself a tattoo, so why would you think it's okay to do your own hair color? John C. Simpson - Lewis Salon, Pittsburgh, PA
3. It's unpredictable! A professional colorist knows how to assess the other factors - starting level, grey coverage, texture etc. It's like an address with no directions; how can get to a destination if you don't know where you're starting? Deborah Gavin - Fresh Studio, Philadelphia PA
4. With a creative eye, knowledge and experience, a professional can create consistent and brilliant color results – a box has no eye, no knowledge, and no experience; it's a dump and hope approach. James Edick – ARROJO, NYC
5. Overlapping applications create damage and lackluster hair. A professional colorist knows how to apply so the end result is always even and can create signature looks to suit the individual. Rebecca Heile – Fresh Studio, Philadelphia, PA
