So I was recently asked what sort of jobs, that I know of, allow such amazing, colourful, rainbow hair?

As you know the working world isn’t big on individual expression. In fact with some jobs, rocking up to work with shocking pink hair could even get you fired, no matter how well you do your job.

Which got me thinking… Generally if you don’t work directly with customers, (for example; technology, science and creative jobs) you tend to get away with more colourful hair. So I put together this list, and I thought I’d share it with you. So if your looking for a new job, or just starting out in the world of work, you might get some ideas for where your colourful hair would be accepted, perhaps even encouraged!

This is a list of jobs that some of my customers do, both on-line and salon customers. Plus a few jobs I think would let you have colourful hair. Hopefully it will give you some ideas as to what jobs will let you have funky hair colours. Of course it would also depend on your boss, but you get the idea.

The inspiration for this set of photos was dreams… the place where reason has no home, where your imagination is free, where anything can happen and probably will.

Two songs inspired this… “A dream is a wish your heart makes when you’re fast asleep. In dreams you lose your heartaches. Whatever you wish for, you keep. Have faith in your dreams and someday your rainbow will come smiling thru. No matter how your heart is grieving if you keep on believing the dream that you wish will come true” (Cinderella - ‘A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes’). The other song was ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ by Judy Garland, (I added some of the lyrics to the images).

Hope you enjoy and always keep dreaming. x

My latest hair colour… The idea behind this set of photos was to have no speed limit. “Scream if you wanna go faster” is about a high speed, colour popping, adrenalin rush. This is a thrill ride for those who can keep up! Enjoy.

Sorry its been a while since I’ve updated the blog, but I have been super busy editing together some brand new demonstration videos! Its all still in working progress, but I hope to have the DVD finished in the next few months.

I’d just like to share with you about one of the models I did for the videos, her name is Zoe, and she was actually one of my website customers who purchased a copy of my eBook. Zoe used the personal consultation to ask a few questions about where to buy certain dye, but when I found she lived near by I offered her a chance to be a hair model for the demonstration videos. Her reply was: “…im a MASSIVE fan of your hair so id be more than happy to have you do it!”

Zoe’s hair after…

We discussed ideas for Zoe’s hair… Zoe had at first just wanted purple all over, with blue streaks but was open to ideas. So I suggested we take this a little further, and create a colour combination that gives the same effect as you see with oil on water. As this would be a good opportunity to show a new colouring technique on the DVD, and incorporates Zoe’s original colour ideas…

Zoe’s feedback…

And the hair colour looks even better in the video! I’ll keep you all posted as the when the DVD will be available. It will also include two other demonstrations… one of which is the full rainbow!

So what did i spend my birthday doing? Dyeing my hair of course! :D  (Yes im obsessed.)

My latest hair/photo series: “The Pink Princess”.

Cheeky, sassy, demanding and spoiled. The Pink Princess knows how to get her own way. A total diva and a prima donna, she wants it all, and she wants it NOW!

So only 24hrs left before Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is open, and I’m super excited! So I know I have lots more important things I should do… “I give my self very good advice that I very seldom follow.” But instead I decided to join the tea party, and do my own fan (hair) art of a few of the characters. “Off with her head!” So here are some photos of me with different hair colours that I then edited to look like, The Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat and the White Queen. (Yes I have totally fallen down the rabbit hole, but I’m in Wonderland!)

This is an old photo of me when I had red hair and after I had taken out braids. Then edited to look like the Mad Hatter. (Background, eye and text from movie poster.)

Another old photo of me when I had purple hair. Edited to look like the Cheshire Cat! (text from the movie poster.)

Me with my current blond hair, edited to look like the White Queen. (Background and text from movie poster.)

“Hi Anya,

I was just curious… how long, on average, does the color dye you reccomend last? I know Manic Panic lasts about a month. I also was wondering if your hair needs to be frequently rebleached to keep the color strong, because I know that right now over time the hairdye I use (after each time I redye it) stays in less and less time. It starts vibrant but still doesn’t stay long. I don’t know if I can rebleach my hair without it dying D: I don’t want dead hair, but I don’t want quickly fading colors. I can’t redye every weekend.

I also was wondering what kind of colors I should use to accent shocking blue. I want to keep my long hair and I want it to stand out like crazy. I’m getting this book for my birthday in a few weeks, I’m just curious so I can start preparing.

Any input you can offer would be epic.

- Curious”

Hi Curious,

I normally only do consultation for customers, but if your intending on buying
soon I’ll make an exception.

Here is the answers to your questions:

“…how long, on average, does the color dye you reccomend last?”

In the eBook I don’t just recommend one product to use, as everyone is different and has different needs. (For example; you may want your colour to be permanent, but some else may only want it for a week before they go
back to school.)

So in the eBook I go through a range of dye products and brands, both permanent and semi. I provide a price and quantity comparison, star rating, how long on average each product will last and what brand are available in which country’s.

This helps you choose the best value for money, depending on your budget for dye. The star rating tells you what products I recommend, and which ones I don’t! It also helps you choose which one is best for you depending on how long you want the colour to last, and which brands are available to you depending where you live.

I try to cater for everyone as best possible.

“I also was wondering if your hair needs to be frequently rebleached to keep the color strong?”

No, definitely not. Re-bleaching the hair will cause unnecessary damage. The eBook covers the bleaching process, and how to avoid damaging your hair. Its also has heaps of tips on how to prevent premature colour fade. Frequent bleaching is NOT the way to go and will only cause serious damage to your hair.

“I also was wondering what kind of colors I should use to accent shocking blue?”

If you want totally contrasting colour that will stand out, I would suggest a vibrant orange to do next to the blue. You see orange is the opposite colour to blue, so when you put the two colours next to each other they really pop!

You can see what I mean here (where the orange and blue meet) :

Hope that helps, and happy birthday in advance!
Peace,
Anya
