What Would John Simpson Do?

  1. John, I am a stylist that I think is stuck. I tend to use like a thousand foils to create a blonde that has demension. Can you help me to find a different approach to developing a faster method?

  2. Hey John, That was a sick color class. In Schectady NY on September 14th at Glen Sanders. Loved it. Here is the stupid thing though. When I got home and reviewed my notes I didn't write down the color formulas for the second model. "Eva Mendes." Chocolate brown. Can you send them to me. Wonder if you might want to include them in the training packet for reference in the future. Then you won't get these kind of crazy emails, haha. I'm a a commercial makeup artist honing my hair skills. Check out my website at www.makemefabulous.com. And thanks for the great class and getting back to me. Alayne

  3. Hey John. Just wanted to write a note of thanks for coming to Spokane. We don't get people of your calibur in our redneck of the woods. My staff and I really enjoyed it and you challenged and educated us above and beyond our expectations. Thank you again. Kasey ( LOL, I used to be fat.) of 14th and Grand salon.

  4. Dear John, Will you marry me? Thanks a heap! --Victoria T.

  5. Sakari Salon would like to THANKYOU. Fabulous class you had everyone thinking outloud. We now have a great start to the season. The ideas are flying and you have the staff feeling recharged.

  6. Hi John loved your class in Memphis. I have an older lady XL 5A with lvl 4gish LL and really bad lv 8/9 brassy, gold highlights. She is less 24% grey. Im going to do her base and ends via compact foils from the class. She "Hates RED and Orange". Id like to soften base up to between 5/6 B controlled! and bring HL down to a 7 and try and diffuse some of the darker LL. Heres what Im thinking: NG: 25 vol/15CC 5N/25cc 6SB or std N/B and A diffuse LL w/40 vol and BC w/7mb fill H/L with gold pre-pig and then 10 vol 7/gb & 7/n or I can just do an overlay after I do NG and diffuse darker areas. Im basically doing "basement" hair right now while looking for a salon thats a good fit as Ive recently moved to another state. Your opinion would be great as I dont have my "security blanket" and dont want to make her an ugly mess. She has warm eyes and warm/olive skin. Thank you

  7. John, Just attended your class in Depew, N.Y. I have been in the profession over 40 yrs and still learning. Loved your class , can't wait to start reformulating some of the colors and trying new placements Thanks again

  8. John loved all the photos from TrendZoom, you guys are a great inspiration. Whatr are some of your favorite "toner" formulas when lightening lvls 3 - 6 darker/med browns? Especially the latino and persian hair that tends to be coarser and not pull up well. Some formulas for carmel color/pretty kopper/coffee-toffee shade. I tend to get stuck using same thing and we know we cant do that on everyone. Thank you!

  9. John, One of my clients brought in the model for rockmantic trendzoom 2008. I was wondering if that color was used with max reds or elumen if so please share the formula please. I have a basic idea but i want to see if we are on the same page. Thank you so much and by the way you are a hair GENIUS and i couldnt ever get enough of your education.

  10. hi john. i have a client who wants to be a platinum blonde....her re-touch is a level 3 and each time i do it i've tried different techniques to reach that platinum level but i still cant get there....i always end up with gold that even the strongest toner wont relieve....i'm looking to you for advice....thanks and happy holidays!

  11. John,What do you see as far as the trend in cuts and color this yr? thanks Heather

  12. Hi John. I had the pleasure of seeing you and Deb Gavin in Baltimore fall 08'.I loved the class. I work with many different people and we have all been to many classes and yet one question still remain's.....What is the BEST way to use the Goldwell Color Remover? Thank's and I look forward to hearing from you.P.S. See you in Santa Monica this fall!

  13. I was wondering if you could tell me the formulation of the Silver/Grey color on the cover of this year's Goldwell Education booklet. I can't seem to find that info and I'm bummed because I plan on wearing it myself. Thank you for the help! Tara Hedenberg

  14. Bon Jour. I am in lust with the silver/grey color the model on the front of this year's education book and I looking to re-create it on a model for vlog we are doing at our salon. I was hoping you could help me with the formulation.She is a full level 10 and I plan to clean her canvas further before we do anything else. I await your reply with breath that is baited. Thank you. Tara
