What I LOVE about Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color

Blog: Spot Light Series on Experienced Licensed Stylists/Colorists

that use Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color.

This week’s Featured Stylist:  Linda Phelps, Master Cosmetologist since 1982, Licensed in Georgia and Florida currently resides in Blairsville, Georgia.

Linda is a Colorist and previously used Schwarzkopf color, as well as Paul Mitchell and Redken.

She has been a colorist for over 30 years and converted to Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color in 2011. She located Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color via the internet and contacted Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color to find out more about the line. She was invited to a personal introduction session at the Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color Training Center in Buford Georgia and learned the basics of the line. According to Linda she was impressed by the training coordinator and how easily the line was to use and the results she saw were impressive.

Linda purchased the color package and began to use the Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color on her current and new clients and she said “I have never been happier with a Hair Color Line or Hair Care Products as I am with Advanced Coloration, they are SUPERIOR products to anything I have used in the past.”

Linda was asked if she would share a few key differences in the Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color line versus Schwarzkopf that she had been using and her answers were as follows:

“It mixes 2 parts developer to 1 part color, and the color tube is large at 3.4 ounces. I get much more color for my money.”

“No damage to the hair when using the Bleach from Advanced Coloration. It is so easy to use!”

“The Color and the Hair Care leaves the hair so soft and shiny.”

“I have no fear using Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color , I select the desired target color, follow the very simple formulation process ( I learned in the level 1 class) and then measure and mix and I get a great result  EVERY TIME!”  “Previously when I mixed with other colors I never was quite sure what the result would be…I often just hoped the result was what I wanted! With Advanced Coloration I get the exact result I was going for, no more hoping just results!”

Wow you can hear for yourself from an experienced stylist that there are some very good differences between the Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color Line and others that she has used previously. Here is a breakdown in the key differences of Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color versus Schwarzkopf that Linda was using:

Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color mixes 2 parts developer to 1 part color and are a demi, semi and permanent color all in one line.

Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color does not have that strong ammonia odor when mixing and applying the color to the client.

The Bleach is easy to mix and does not swell up and crawl out of the bowl or the foils. It is very gentle and does not streak, spot or leave the clients hair damaged when mixed well and used properly.

The color cannot over process. Let’s say that again, you cannot over process a client with Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color, with the ammonia at ½% it will stop processing and not over process and go “dark”.

The Gray Hair coverage is so easy to achieve. Simply use the  10 volume developer with your target color from the swatch book mix 2 parts developer to 1 part color, apply to the client’s Gray for 30 minutes and it is covered. No mixing additional “N” to achieve grey coverage.

We also asked Linda what she liked best about Advanced Coloration as a Company.  She said “She loved doing business with Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color as we made her feel part of the team, like family, our training was the best she has ever attended and she learned so much and wants more! In addition she also mentioned “that our pricing was a great bonus to our line…she got amazing performing products and she got to put profit into her business!”  She also said “You have amazing customer service and ship the product quickly right to my location!”

Linda also wanted to share with everyone that her color business has increased A LOT and she thanks the beautiful results of Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color for assisting her. She says it is “AMAZING AND SELLS ITSELF once someone has the color applied and can see the results!”  We at AC say GO LINDA!

We have many customers just like Linda and we will be writing about them in the coming weeks so check back to read about them and their business!  They will also be sharing tips and experiences and photos of their work on our Facebook Page so make sure to “LIKE US” and join us for more conversation.

Get That SHINY SEXY HAIR with Advanced Coloration Professional Hair Color…what are you waiting for?

Today we are posting an article directed at the Guys out there yet Ladies this affects you too!

This article came to us via an on-line resource called the “How to Naturally Increase Testosterone”.

Men – Is Your Shampoo Causing Low Testosterone?

Hidden deep within all those words you can’t pronounce on the ingredients label of your shampoo bottle is a host of chemicals known as “xenoestrogens”.  These are synthetic forms of the female hormone estrogen but, unlike natural estrogen, these chemical-based “mutant estrogens” are very difficult for your body to dispose of.  Instead, they’re trapped away in your fat cells and disrupt the natural balance of male hormones, literally transforming men into women (no kidding!).

The results can be symptoms like increased body fat (especially in the chest area, commonly known as gynocomastia or “man boobs”),lower sex drive, loss of muscle tissue, and even sexual problems like erectile dysfunction (E.D.).

So what can you do about it?

Step 1:  Avoid These Shampoo Ingredients

Pull out your shampoo bottle and look for these common testosterone-destroying ingredients:

Parabens – Parabens are in 90% of all personal care products and are used as a preservative to increase the shelf life of shampoos and conditioners.  Studies have shown a direct link between paraben exposure and low-testosterone (and even breast cancer). Get rid of any shampoo with an ingredient that ends in “–paraben” (such as methylparaben, butylparaben, and so on).

Sulfates – You’ll find that most shampoos contain an ingredient such as “Sodium Lauryl Sulfate” and “Sodium Laureth Sulfate”.  These are responsible for that thick lather of foam you’re programmed to believe is responsible for cleaning your hair.  They’re also the same ingredient used in car engine degreasers and car-wash soap foams.  But on your head, these sulfates quickly enter your bloodstream and have been linked to everything from excessive estrogen load to malformation of the eyes in children.  Chuck them in the trash!

Propylene Glycol and Polyethylene Glycol – These common “organic” alcohols are used in everything from antifreeze to oven cleaners… and as a fragrance stabilizer for shampoos and lotions.  Unfortunately, they tend to break down the structure of your cells to allow rapid absorption of the other xenoestrogens in your shampoo for a shotgun blast of female hormones straight into your bloodstream.

Here are some additional tips for buying a “testosterone-friendly” shampoo:

• You can search online for natural shampoos.  Just because your shampoo says “Organic” on the front label, doesn’t mean it isn’t guilty of harboring toxic chemicals.  This is a common scam used by greedy hair product companies to fool you into overlooking their estrogen-loaded shampoos and conditioners.  Read the ingredients anyway! Products like AC Hair Care Active Organic Shampoo and Conditioners are a good choice. www.advancedcoloration.com

• Don’t fall prey to believing that you need thick suds to clean your hair.  You don’t!  Natural shampoos don’t lather up like more commercial brands because they don’t contain the toxic foaming agents you want to stay away from.  Your hair will still get clean without the bubbles and you’ll protect your manhood in the process.

Ladies, The same toxic chemicals mentioned in this article affect your hormones too and in general your biochemistry of our body when these toxic chemicals are absorbed via your scalp.

Informed is important! The FDA of the US is not protecting anyone. It is up to you to know how to determine if something is really organic or healthy for you!

If you have any questions or would like to make the switch to a shampoo and conditioner that does not contain these toxic ingredients and that will actually improve the condition of your hair please contact us at info@advancedcoloration.com or 1-877-50-Color. We will assist you in locating a salon to purchase these products from or help you obtain them if a salon that stocks it is not in your area yet.

At AC our corporate mission is to bring “truly” healthy beauty products to people everywhere!
