Any hair colorist's out there??

Hmmm...after reading some of these posts on this forum, I'm not sure if anyone can help me...but, if you are a hair colorist/stylist, I need some help please!!!  I had my hair colored the best it's ever looked about 6 mos ago.  I called the salon to schedule an appt, and the girl that did my hair doesn't work there anymore.  I wanted to get the formula in which the colorist used, to give to my current hair stylist.  The product used was goldwell and this is what they used:
Base   6nn - 20ml   6g- 20ml  6g- 5ml
Highlights 20 vol
Lowlights  7na strong
Could someone please explain this to me...if I wanted to do this myself how do I convert ml to oz?  Help???  : )

Well I'm not a hairdresser or anything, but all I can tell you which might help a little (?) is that 5ml. is a teaspoonful. (so 20ml. would be 4 teaspoonfuls)
I would use plastic teaspoons with the chemicals, not metal.
.....? Any help?

Call your local beauty supply store that is open to the public and ask, but I think it sounds like someone is pulling your leg. Color is usually measured in ounces, most tubes and bottles are 4 ounces. Unless you have extremely short hair? Teaspoonfuls will not go too far. Usually when someone works for a shop, the formula belongs to the shop and when your stylist leaves has to leave her formulas as well. Unless she is renting a chair. I would ask where the girl went to, but again in protection of the business, they are not obligated to tell you nor will they give you a correct formula as this would be considered giving business to someone else.

teko:  No, no one is pulling my leg...this is the actual formula for haircolr.  Goldwell products measure in (mls).  I got an explanation for it too.

Thats good. Can you share what you find out! Maybe I will check out goldwell and try your formula, the colors sound pretty. Can you get it at the local open to the public, supply house?

Here's the conversion so you'll always know :     :)

30ml=1oz

ml and cc are the same thing


Good luck~
