I love prepping brand new hair extensions by using a gentle clarifying shampoo before coloring with Demi permanent or any direct dyes. The combination between water and an acidic pH help open up the cuticle and prepare it for color.
Remember that not all clarifying shampoos are made the same.
Applying color to both sides on damp hair and process like normal is the perfect way to get a long lasting even color.

This is so cringe but these are real comments people have said to me while doing their hair.
This one’s my favorite:
👩“ Who’s watching the kids while you work?”
👩🏻 My husband
👩 “oh that’s so nice of him”
🤨

After posting how to remove henna using @malibucpro CPR, I had lots of questions around pricing. So here is my take on it:
Figure out what your hourly rate is for a color correction or charge your blowdry price plus $15 minimum to cover product cost.
Product and service cost includes tax, shipping, and general overhead.
Therefore depending on how much time an add on service takes you, you should charge accordingly. CPR can take as little as 30minutes to a few hours of your time depending on how/why you are using it.
I hope this brought some inspo for pricing and what’s best for your business.

Ombré silver hair is making it’s rounds again. And before you ask the price you must know this…😅
Blending this bleach and tone into highlights was no easy feat but I’m so glad I documented it because whether you love the silver or not, there is a ton to learn from this one.
I’m hoping to get this edited and up on YouTube in the next week or two! And if you simply cannot wait for the formula, head to my YouTube membership site to grab the deets.
Now I ask, what would you do and how much would you charge?
Using @kenraprofessional color 😍 and yes, @k18hair was in the mix

Someone commented on one of my reels saying my videos are passive aggressive or degrading stylists. That’s so far from the truth! I’m the most direct MFer you will ever meet with tons of educational content on ALL my platforms. Don’t like it? That’s ok!
Adversity is a real thing here on social.
You know how I handle adversity on social media? By knowing my self worth and having love for who I am. I have worked really damn hard to get to where I’m at in my career. Do you really think I’m going to let some loser with a private account tell me otherwise?
I am more than an account on the internet. I’m a person. Like a real human being. Discussion is always welcome on my feed which is why I sometimes reply. However there are boundaries I will set. Sometimes those boundaries come in the form of a clap back 😉 or sometimes erasing your comment or all together blocking you. Or my favorite, making a reel out of the dumb ish people get mad at me for.
If your new here, hi 👋🏼 I’m Mirella fucking Manelli and if you don’t like my free educational videos on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok or YouTube, then that’s ok. There are a thousand people who find them useful and I do it for them.
