Schalan Gives Us Her Expert Color Tips

Personal Touch Salon Owner, Schalan is giving us the rundown on how she does the perfect hair color service for her clients. First, to color her client's "wisdom highlights" Schalan will utilize the Color Chocolate Series, as well as, the new Syncro Soft Lightener and Crema XG. The Syncro Soft contains shea and can lift hair color up seven levels! Schalan loves this product because it feels super creamy and leaves your hair feeling incredibly conditioned. She starts mixing her color in small equal ratios, 1 oz. SS and 1 oz. 20 Cream XG. The two products mix together in a luxurious frosting-style consistency. Next, for her client's base color, she uses the Color Chocolate Series, and mixes equal parts 8CH (.5 oz) and 7N (.5 oz) and then she adds 20 Cream. Schalan says you can mix this with cream or clear, but for grey coverage she likes to Cream to condition a little more. She applies color and lightener and then lets it set in.

After shampooing, Schalan applies a little more Crema XG (two parts 10PA and one part 8PA) to help neutralize any yellow or oranges hues to a much cooler tone. Schalan also lets us know she really is loving the Crema XG, while it is ammonia free, it's still tone to tone to the Color XG. She tells us that she mixes equal parts again for toning. When Schalan tones, she outlines and defines first, it helps her speed up the process.

After touchups, we see the client's perfect color! Schalan also shows us the shampoo/conditioning products she used which are from Paul Mitchell's newest line called Clean Beauty. Schalan chose these products because they make your hair so soft and silky! She also raves about the anti-frizz product from the Clean Beauty line because it keeps hair bouncy and light.

Thank you, Schalan for your expert coloring tips. We love walking through this entire process with you!

Schalan Demonstrates How Meet Hair AI™ Works on Clients

Schalan gives an awesome demonstration on how Meet Hair AI™ works for client hair analysis in the salon. In this video, Schalan has already added the device to her phone and asked the client the questions prompted from the app. She begins the process by taking a picture of her scalp. We see how the technology zooms WAY in on the client's scalp. In fact, the lens can focus in on the hair 1000x more powerfully the human eye. The next step is take a picture of the ends of the client's hair. Schalan's advice here, is to get to a point where you can brace your hand on the clients shoulder, if possible. This way, you can be as still as possible to get an accurate and focused snap shot of the hair.

After the pictures of the scalp and hair are taken, the app performs its magic by using the power of proprietary technology to run a complete analysis on the health and condition of the client's hair. Within seconds, you receive a full report on the quality and condition the hair and scalp. The app uses advanced algorithms to rapidly provide an in-depth hair and scalp analysis.

The application goes even FURTHER beyond just the analysis! Schalan can utilize the app to quickly share results and product recommendations with the client, it easily track their scans and prescribes a regimen over time, it accesses product knowledge on-demand and you can even chat with a stylist for quick technical support.

This is exactly why Personal Touch is a Paul Mitchell Focus Salon. Paul Mitchell goes above and beyond in products, and their stylists have continued access to ongoing training with the best in the industry.

Thank you, Schalan for these amazing pro-tips and keeping us educated and up-to-speed regarding the latest in hair trends.
