CASE HISTORY FILE
The case histories shown in this chapter are from a library of actual salon clients. It has been a work in progress spanning over the past 8 years, therefore the styles worn may not be the very latest. We are, after all, featuring haircolor. Each client came to the salon with her/his own haircoloring challenge. As you view clients you will note that most of final results have not been embellished by the use of makeup or special clothing. Our goal is to have you view how the change of haircolor affected each individual’s appearance. These case histories can aid you when consulting with your American Board Certified Haircolorist, aiding in communicating your haircolor needs. The solutions to your problems may not be found in this chapter, but it may well be a point of reference to move forward. Refer to them by number when discussing a change of haircolor. Formulas are given in generic terms, requiring you to consult a Board Certified haircolorist. One can be found on our website by clicking on “FIND A HAIRCOLORIST”. Thank you for visiting our website. American Board of Certified Haircolorists Thanks to the following salons for their contribution to this file. Azzara Salon, Andre’s Hair Studio, Elon Salon,Tamara Dahill Salon, Paul Morrison Colours,
The case history files are under construction, they will continue to evolve. Soon to come will be the Consultation Pages, explaining the interaction between client and haircolorist. In addition the Learning Pages which give details on how haircolor works, as well as the Technique Pages which show the variety of professional techniques available to the haircolor client.
