HOW CCS WORKS
WE'RE CHANGING HOW YOU WORK
For hairstylists, by a hairstylist.
1. PREP
Begin by sectioning the hair. We recommend using U-shaped sections for their seamless fluidity across the entire head.
*Twist your canvas to reach areas behind the left and right ear.
2. POSITION
Adjust the height of your canvas by turning the knob on the stem of your hydraulic chair. The crest of your canvas (the U shape of your board) should be positioned at a 45-degree angle when you start, just below your guest's nape. The bottom of the canvas should align with hip level for your comfort.
3. PREPARE TO BE AMAZED...AND COLOR
Here's a brief overview: Regardless of the coloring method you choose, such as balayage, highlights, or foiling, begin at a 45-degree angle and gradually adjust the pitch of your canvas as you work up the hair. Maintain a mildly tight tension on the canvas (adjustable with the knob beneath the canvas). When you reach the crown, your pitch should be at maximum capacity. Utilize the canvas at its full capacity until you reach the Mohawk area for foiling. To personalize areas around the face, lower the canvas to a tabletop position to hover over your client's shoulders. Place all foils on top of the canvas and work comfortably in front of your guest without leaning.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
- The acrylic palettes are fragile. If dropped, they risk breaking or cracking. HANDLE THEM WITH CARE.
- The acrylic palettes are not heat resistant. DO NOT PLACE IRONS OR FLAT IRONS DIRECTLY ON THE SURFACE. Even with a heat-resistant mat, avoid laying flat irons on their sides, as this can cause melting.
- Certain products can cloud your acrylic palette. To clean, use a soft cloth and a gentle cleaner approved for acrylic surfaces. DO NOT USE CLEANERS WITH ALCOHOL COMPONENTS, ESPECIALLY THOSE CONTAINING 70% ALCOHOL, AS THEY CAN CRACK AND DAMAGE THE ACRYLIC. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
When Removing Your Humongous Palette
What Not to Do:
Avoid grabbing the left and right sides of your palette and pulling up. This can cause unnecessary strain and may break or damage the product.
What To Do:
Instead, use your thumb to feel for the gap between the mounting plate and the palette. Gently release the magnetic pull to ensure a smooth and safe removal.
STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
When not in use, store the palette in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or discoloration. If possible, keep the palette in its original packaging or a protective case to avoid scratches and other damage.
