@cryistalchaos: #stitch with @ a lot of you tagged me in this and the anwser is metallic salts and perm solution do not mix. Could it have been over processed?…sure. But my bet is on the metallic salts found in box black hair color.
I just feel bad that now Alfredo is offering to help her…

As a cosmetologist, I did not know this about black box dye . And I appreciate you sharing this information!! I have avoided perms because I never felt educated in them well enough to do them properly.

Hair is science. I don’t understand how people downplay the hair industry when it’s way more complex than they assume it to be.

Update: the owner has said in a tt post that Millie has been refunded & the stylist was let go. Heres hoping she goes & does more training or something before she does this to someone else.

I’ve had an interaction like this recently actually, except it wasn’t with a perm. It was with henna. a girl reached out to me wanting to get highlights. She at first wanted no bleach color and I told her that was not an option and then I told her even bleach color is not an option because there is henna in her hair I will not be able to perform any type of lightning service but can still do a haircut or treatment if she’d like. It’s truly as simple as that, it’s OK to say no sometimes.

Watching the stylists trying to defend this is crazy. Love my fellow stylists but also accountability is a thing.

I have always heard if you color your hair you can’t have a perm. You gotta pick one or the other

I was disheartened to see other stylists make videos trying to poke holes in her experience 😭 thank you for this

She said the stylist checked the chemicals in the box color and that it was okay, and I gasped 🫢 never ever should’ve put perm solution over that 😭

Thank you so much for covering this from an educational standpoint instead of just yelling into the void like a lot of people I’ve seen. 🖤🖤🖤

Maya | DMV Licensed Stylist :
and this is why cosmetology programs/boards need to be regulated more across the country. i knew this, you knew this, but there are licensed stylists that genuinely were not taught this info cause so many beauty schools genuinely just suck.

I am the only one in my salon who actively does perms and the first question I always ask is “do you have color on your hair?” Followed by “did you do this color at home, or was it done in a salon?” If they ask why that is important I immediately go in to talking about the metallic salts. I will not perm box dyed hair and everyone in my salon knows that I will immediately say no, and my boss will back me 10000%. I wish all stylists knew that it is ok to tell a client “no” because the clients are not the professionals.

Black box dye been a problem for years…in hair school…. That was something we were always told (black box dye limits what you can do) and saw it for myself!! Black box dye is no joke!!

I was so hoping to see you react to this but didn’t want to spread that poor girl’s misery(rightfully so misery). Thank you for explaining this because I always wondered what the issue with that was!

Cosmo student her, I just did this to a lady like 3 months ago. She had been using black box die for years. Came to the school wanting a perm. I was given this client and my instructor insisted that it would be okay….. it was not okay! 😓

I feel like that salon failed their stylist entirely and then kicked her to the curb
