Whether you're new behind the chair or a seasoned pro, the right technique paired with the right tools makes all the difference. Hair coloring is an art—and like any artist, your tools matter. Here are our top tips to get the most out of your professional hair coloring tools.

1. Choose the Right Brush for the Job

Flat brushes work great for balayage, while angled brushes give you more precision for root applications. Keep multiple sizes on hand to match the client and the technique.

👉 Check out our Brushes Collection for salon-quality options.

2. Use Foils That Work With You, Not Against You

Whether you prefer textured foils for that thicker feel and extra-strong grip, or a smooth foil for maximum saturation and crisp folds - choose a foil type that works best for your technique. Rolled foils that you can customize to any length while you work speed up the process and reduce waste. Pre-cut foils are perfect for convenient straight-out-of-the-box use. Every stylist can find their match!

3. Keep Your Tools Clean and in Good Shape

It’s tempting to reuse brushes and clips multiple times between clients—but regular deep cleans not only ensure hygiene, they also improve tool performance.

4. Don’t Skip on Film for Advanced Techniques

For techniques like balayage, vivids, and color melting, clear films give you better separation, control, and clean results without bleed.

5. Stay Stocked and Ready

Keep backups of your go-tos. Running out mid-appointment? No thanks. Build a system that ensures you're never caught off guard.

The tools you choose and how you use them can make a big impact on the final look and your client's satisfaction. At QTouch, we’re here to help stylists create confidently with tools that work just as hard as you do!
