Example Output
Example 1: Hair Color Technique Demonstration
Technique: Balayage Application for Level 7-9 Hair
Prerequisites Checklist:
- ☐ Client has no active scalp irritation or sensitivities
- ☐ Hair is unwashed for 48+ hours
- ☐ Strand test completed and documented
- ☐ Instructor: Verify student can identify undertones and section hair
Safety Protocol: Never apply bleach to hair previously color-treated within 14 days without patch test. Use barrier cream on hairline. Ensure 20+ minute processing time minimum.
Step-by-Step (Visual Description):
- Section hair into 4 quadrants using clips
- Begin at mid-lengths (not scalp); use feathering technique at 45° angle
- Apply to darker pieces first; lighter pieces last
Common Mistakes & Troubleshooting:
- Uneven tone: Did you apply product from mid-length upward? Rebalance by applying to roots last.
Example 2: Skincare Facial Technique
Troubleshooting Pathway:
- Client reports tightness post-treatment → Check: Did you use warm water rinse? Was hydrating serum applied? Recommend: 24-hour hydration protocol.
