The best part about our industry is we actually like doing hair. ✂️

Unfortunately as a salon owner and when I visit salons around the country I am seeing way too many miserable faces blaming everything but themselves. 🪞

What’s on STYLISTS TV today with @runningwithscissorsconsult 📺😆:

HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIGHTENING WITH A GENTLER APPROACH.

Not all lighteners are created equal — and understanding the chemistry behind your lightener is key to making informed colour decisions.

WHAT MAKES SensiDO BLEACHING PASTE DIFFERENT?

• UP TO 7 LEVELS OF LIFT

Formulated with persulfates to deliver effective lightening while offering a gentler alternative to conventional bleaching products.

• LOWER pH FORMULATION

SensiDO Bleaching Paste has a significantly lower pH than conventional bleaching products, helping provide a gentler lightening process without compromising lifting performance.

• JOJOBA OIL + CONDITIONING AGENTS

Contains jojoba oil and conditioning ingredients to support softness, manageability and combability during the lightening service.

• CONTROLLED LIGHTENING

Its paste formulation offers an alternative to traditional powder lighteners and is suitable for various highlighting and bleaching techniques.

• SOME STYLIST EDUCATION:
THE SCIENCE

During lightening, persulfates and hydrogen peroxide work together to oxidise natural melanin.

The goal is not simply maximum lift — it’s achieving the required underlying pigment while managing the condition of the hair.

Onthou:

• Starting level determines how much lift is required.

• Existing artificial pigment can affect the lightening result.

• Porosity and previous chemical history influence processing.

• Developer strength should be selected according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the hair assessment.

• Monitor the hair’s integrity throughout processing.

scar PRO COLOURIST TIP:

A successful blonde begins with the correct canvas. Lift to the appropriate underlying pigment before selecting your toner — don’t expect your toner to compensate for insufficient lift.

• Vegan
• Perfume-free (HUGE!)
• Finnish professional haircare
•Up to 7 levels of lift

SensiDO Bleaching Paste — because controlled lightening starts with understanding your chemistry.

AREA 133 - 2026!

Blow back to THIS; last week with @benbrownhair @tammy__berman @floneacsu & @fabmacchia

The format? No format.
Four chairs on stage at once, live models and open interaction from the crowd.
Lights, music, drinks, and creative inspiration with a side of questions flowing all night.

It was epic! Thank you to all who came and shared with us.

See you next year!

BEN BROWN (International Cutting Master)
Ben’s teaching is rooted in theory, aiming to remove guesswork from haircutting. His goal is simple: to empower stylists with the skills and knowledge to cut hair with confidence and precision.

TAMMY (from our very own scar)
Tammy Berman is renowned for luxury hair transformations and editorial-inspired styling. She has worked with international artists, leading names in the music industry, and international television productions.

FLO (of Excentric on Kloof in CT)
Flo is a 2-time winner of the Wella Trend Vision Award South Africa. But his greatest achievement isn’t the trophies. It’s the multiple learners he’s transformed into successful stylists in his salons.
His biggest passion is making complex cutting principles easy to understand.

FABIO (of Shag High Voltage in PE and Sanctuary)

Fabio has spent more than 25 years behind the chair and as co-owner of SHAG High Voltage Hair since 2012, his philosophy is simple: think twice, cut once. Fabio is also a Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) Artist, trained in New York, and has completed advanced barber education with Menspire Academy. His accolades include Barber of the Year, Trend Vision Winner, and Trend Vision People’s Choice Award.
