Professional Insights: Why Salons Prefer Life Color Plus

Introduction: What Salons Look For in a Colour Line

A salon chooses a permanent colour line on a few practical questions: does it cover white hair reliably, is the range wide enough, are the results predictable, and does the cost per client work? This post sets out how Life Color Plus answers each one.

Reasons Why Professionals Choose Life Color Plus

1. Extensive Colour Range: 160 shades, correctors and toners at a single price (£3.49 a tube), from naturals through ashes, golds, coppers, reds and mahoganies to the 900 and 12 high-lift series.

2. A Comfortable Service: Life Color Plus is ammonia-based for full coverage and lift, with an ingredient that absorbs the ammonia smell, a real benefit in a busy colour room. Hair condition during the service comes from your developer choice and a bond builder in the bowl, not from the colour itself.

3. Consistent Results: One standard ratio (1:1.5), one developer table and one grey protocol (20 volume for the full 45 minutes) make results repeatable from colourist to colourist.

Client Satisfaction and Results

1. Long-Lasting Colour: As a permanent oxidation colour, a correctly timed result lasts between regrowth appointments. Most early fading traces back to under-timing or aftercare.

2. Cost Per Client: At £3.49 a tube, a half-tube regrowth costs about £2 in colour and developer, and a full head about £4. The cost-per-service guide works through it.

Expert Tips for Using Life Color Plus in a Salon Setting

1. Customisation: Mix shades to create bespoke colours. Every tube is the same price, so the formula never costs more.

2. Patch Tests: A skin test 48 hours before every colour service, for every client, as the manufacturer instructs, not only for new clients.

3. Application Technique: On virgin hair, apply to the lengths first, then the roots. At a regrowth, apply the full formula to the new growth and refresh the lengths with 10 volume.

4. Aftercare Advice: Recommend a colour-care shampoo and conditioner and explain how heat and sun speed up fading.
