Default Re: Lamp vs Sun Ratio

A knowledgable salon owner should know the full answer. But this is what I said a few posts ago to tell the typical customer that doesn't care about the full explanation, that you all seem to be forgetting to read.

At this point, if they ask for more information, then if you know the answer you can explain it to them. If not, then don't. But you're right, at least 80%, and probably more than 90%, will never ask you to elaborate.

But at least you won't be telling them "it's too complicated". They don't want excuses when they ask a question, they want answers.
