Common Salon Interview Questions and Answers

2 :: How long does a color job last?

Color should last 4-6 weeks, highlights 6-12 weeks. To ensure maximum longevity, use Rene Furterer's color enhancing masks twice weekly - it truly makes a difference. Color is a commitment and requires a little extra care if it's to retain its vibrancy and shine.

3 :: Should I wash my hair before coloring it or getting an updo?

No. Washing the hair strips away its natural oils. When creating an updo, the natural oils in the hair give it better holding properties and make it easier to work with. Natural oil is perfect protection, it is creates buffer between skin and the color.

4 :: What products should I use for my thin/lifeless hair?

Rene Furterer's Super Shine Volumizing shampoo is designed for fine, lifeless hair. It's volumizing and detangling complex gives the hair bounce and body. Discover how your hair can be supple, lightweight and easy to style. Rene Furterer's #1 seller, Triphasic Revitalizing formula for thin, weak hair - we recommend this treatment in cases of "progressive" hair loss due to alopecia, hereditary or hormonal causes. It is designed to stimulate hair growth and strengthen hair structure.

Yes. We suggest that you schedule your color appointment first though.

I recommend Rene Furterer's Okara Re-balancing shampoo - it enables the hair to retain the desired tint. The okara complex contains proteins, filling in the breaks where it is needed to restructure and strengthen the hair. The vitamin B5 adds shine, the exclusive French formula simply makes the hair easier to comb. The okara system includes conditioner, and protective mousse with sunscreen to stabilize color between visits to the salon.
