This week we had the absolute honor of having a private zoom education class with Sheree Knoble of Bixie Colour which is located in Caringbah just outside of Sydney.
Sheree specializes in ‘lived in’ blondes, effortless balayage and creating beautiful beach babes, she is also very well known for creating Jen Hawkins signature look and her Queen of instagram title was cemented when she won the Australia Hair Fashion Awards influencer of the year in 2019.
You’ve just left the salon, invested a pretty penny and are now proudly part of the unicorn gang, so let's talk about keeping it that looking amazing - let's talk home aftercare.
Here are some top tips from Pulp Riot to keep you looking fresh.
In this day and age we are finding more people are becoming sensitive to allergens and getting reactions more to the outside world, Including us hair colourists in salon also.
We researched for months to try and find the perfect colour company that would align with the Chumba brand.
A colour that would address scalp irritation problems, create beautiful shiny nourishing results, reduce the strong smells of chemicals in salon and still be a high performing colour product.
Pulp Riot is a colour company created by a group of extremely talented hairdressers in California back in 2016.
They started off with a semi-permanent colour range with 16 shades that propelled the brand into a must have product around the world for hairdressers.
Pulp Riot has evolved into a fully fledged colour brand now in 2020 with a huge range of products from permanent colour to bleach and styling products.
The iso-education never stops for team Chumba!
Just as we were starting to feel a little bit too isolated from the rest of the world here in Melbourne, we were fortunate enough to attend the online, live show from O&M’s flagship salon in New York, O&M.nyc @originalmineralnyc.
We got to see Creative Director Janelle Chaplin @heywhatschaplin demo a stunning 60s inspired blowout look. Colour Specialist Stephanie Clark @stephanieatnyc also demonstrated her amazing hair painting skills and Colourist Paprika (Papi) Velour @bleotch giving us a taste of her specialty, the ‘bleach and tone’.
With salons closed in Melbourne for longer than we all expected, everyone is getting desperate with overdue roots and faded colours.
People are willing to try anything to get them through until they can get back in the salon.
After reading the threads on numerous community pages I felt as a hairdresser with years of experience, I needed to write this to educate people properly before they embark on this hairy journey.
What's the difference between foils and balayage?
Let's see what our colourist team thinks of the following questions... remember we're all a little different as colourists so let us know what your answers would be in the comments too :-)

As our weather changes, so does our hair. It's colder outside and we are seeing less sun. it's natural for us and our hair to lose the colour we get from being outside.
The question is to change with the season and go darker or to bring back the brightness in our hair?
If I had a dollar for every-time someone asked me if box hair dye is bad for your hair, I would be rich! Let's unpack what box dye is and why it can be harmful for your hair.
Before you pick up that box of colour in the supermarket aisle... just take a moment to think. Is that really a smart move and will it actually look great in the morning?
