Headshot Hair Dye

Headshot Hair Dye is a well known and popular brand from Germany that has been around for many years.  After researching this online we decided to add it to the Beeunique range of brands we sell.  All 23 colours in the range are on order and should be in stock in around a week.

The colours range from neon pink to sleek silvery grey.  They even include a handy matrix base that can be mixed with the other shades to create new lighter, pastel tones for you to try.  Headshot Dye comes in 150ml bottles so larger than most other semi-permanent hair dyes.  After use these can be sealed and used later for top-ups or further dye applications.

You can view the full range of colours on our website – Headshot Hair Dye

Manic Panic Mini Hair Dyes have now been added to the Beeunique website.  These are very handy if you wish to try out a new colour or brand before buying the larger 118ml pots.

We are always being asked for testers of the dyes we sell but are unable to do this.  The cost involved in buying smaller containers, adding all the relevant safety and ingredient information would be too high. Not to mention the question of copyright belonging to the manufacturer!  We are therefore very pleased that Manic Panic have taken the lead and created these mini/tester hair dye tubes.  Hopefully more hair dye manufacturers will copy this fantastic idea.

Manic Panic Mini Tester Hair Dyes are only 25ml so ideal for smaller areas of hair e.g. streaks or as part of a rainbow.  As with all Manic Panic products you can mix them with mixer/toner to create a more pastel shade, or mix colours together to create unique new shades.

These mini dyes are on order now and should be in stock by the end of the week (3rd April).  You can purchase them here – Manic Panic Mini Hair Dyes

Special Effects are Closing

THIS IS AN OLD POST FROM 2019 – SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE STILL CLOSED!
Our latest post with possible alternative brands/colours can be seen here: Special Effects Alternatives

 

Yes, sadly the rumours are true, Special Effects are closing!
We found this out late last week but wanted to know more before posting and causing a hair dye stampede.

Why Special Effects are closing:

Special Effects want to make it clear that they are chosing to close at this time and it ‘may’ not be forever.  They moved premises a couple of years ago and this caused a huge backlog in dye production which they were still playing catchup with.  Their new premises are now being sold which means another move and they simply cannot deal with yet another move and keep up with making their hair dye so decided to close while they decide what to do in the future.  I would like to stress that if they do decide to open up again then it will be at least a year or more as they would need to find new premises, set it up and then stock-up on colours.  They have us on their contact list and have assured me they will call when or if they know anymore, but for the time being they are definitely closed.

What Colours are still available?

Another reason for our delay in posting this was to find out what colours they can still ship and we are pleased to say we have an order for over £20,000 placed with them.  This new order should arrive within 2-3 weeks and will include the following colours: Blood Red, Blue Haired Freak, Blue Mayhem, Burgundy Wine, Candy Apple Red, Cherry Bomb, Cupcake Pink, Deep Purple, Devilish, Fish Bowl, Hi-Octange Orange, Hot Lava, Iguana Green, Joyride, Nuclear Red, Purple Smoke, Sonic Green, Wildflower & Toner.

They have none of their other colours in stock and wont be making them again before they close.

Crazy Color Power is a new way to create your own hair dye shades.

It’s easy – you choose a base from Crazy Color New HoldUp Shampoo, Crazy Color Rainbow Conditioner or Crazy Color Neutral/Mixer.  Next choose one or more of the concentrated pigments – red, yellow, blue, purple or pink.  Add 1 pump of pigment to 20ml of shampoo or conditioner, mix well and apply!

Crazy Color Hype - The Bases

For pastel shades you can use less pigment or you can add more than one pigment e.g. red and yellow to start creating orange shades.  The possibilities are endless, you can even create several hues of the same colour by varying the amount of pigment used!

Both the HoldUp Shampoo and Rainbow Conditioner come in 250ml bottles while the pigments are a handy sized 50ml, but you only need 1 pump of pigment in 20ml of shampoo or conditioner to create your own hair dye!

Whilst we at Beeunique love hair in neon shades and styles, not all wokplaces do, so Crazy Color Power is ideal for weekends and holidays as they last around 3-5 washes.  Ideal to show of your wild side at the weekend or for nights out before going back to the normality of the 9 to 5!

There are other ways to use the pigments such as creating your own colour spray or mixing with your mousse or wax, and you can see more information on this on our All About Crazy Color Power faq page

You can use these to create new dyes or for topping up existing colours and as with all semi-permanent hair dyes, these will work best on prelightened hair.

These are salt and sulfate free as well as vegan friendly & cruelty free

These will be in stock in approx 1 week on our website, and as always you can sign up for an ‘in stock’ notification to be emailed as soon as these arrive …Crazy Color Power on Beeunique website.

This product was previously called Crazy Color HYPE – bottles may show the original ‘hype’ or new ‘power’ logo but they are the same product

Manic Panic Amplified Colours

Arctic Fox, Sparks, Splat and more!

We are often asked why we don’t sell Arctic Fox or Sparks or numerous other brands.  Below is a list of information we have on each of these brands and why we currently do not or cannot stock them in the Beeunique Shop.

 

Arctic Fox
We are asked about Arctic Fox a lot but unfortuantely these dyes are not yet EU compliant so we cannot stock them.  This means that one or more of the ingredients is currently on the European Union banned ingredients list so they are not allowed to be sold in the UK or EU.  Arctic Fox say they are working on EU compliant dyes and we are in regular contact with them to find out when this will come into effect.  When it does, if the price is good then Arctic Fox is a brand we would love to stock on Beeunique.

Sparks
We have contacted Sparks a few times over the years and have had the reply that they only allow their products to be sold to professional hair stylists i.e. to hairdressers etc and not to people who wish to retail them.  Unless Sparks change this policy we will not be able to stock this brand.

Lunar Tides
Like Arctic Fox the ingredients in these dyes are not EU compliant and cannot be stocked or sold in the UK or EU at this time. They are hoping to amend their ingredients to be EU compliant soon.

Limecrime
Unfortunately Lime Crime are not looking for any distributors for their dyes at this time. We also cannot confirm that their ingredients are fully UK compliant – this is the case for several brands made in the USA.

Uberliss
Again, like Artic Fox, the ingredients in these dyes are not all EU compliant and cannot be stocked or sold in the UK or EU at this time. They are hoping to amend their ingredients to be EU compliant soon.

Affinage
We have contacted Affinage and are currently waiting on a reply reagrding possibly stocking this brand. They do say on their website that they sell to Professional outlets like Hair salons only, so they may not allow it to be sold on a retail website.  We will update when we know more.

Splat
Like Arctic Fox the ingredients in these dyes are not EU compliant and cannot be stocked or sold in the UK or EU at this time. We do not know if they are working towards an EU compliant version but will update on here when we know more.

Lunatik
Again, like Artic Fox, the ingredients in these dyes are not EU compliant and cannot be stocked or sold in the UK or EU at this time. They are hoping to amend their ingredients to be EU compliant soon.

Pulp Riot (Added to blog May 2019)
There has been a lot of talk in the hair dye community about this dye coming to the UK this month – yes, this is true however it is not for general retail sale.  Pulp Riot have marked their product as For Salon Use only and therefore retailers cannot legally buy it to sell in shops or online. Only hairdressers and trained professionals can purchase and use this product.

 

This information on this blog is correct as of May 2019 and we will update this page as and when we receive new information from the manufacturers.

 

How can you help?
With all the brands like Arctic Fox who are unable to be sold due to non EU compliance then you can contact them direct regarding this.  The more customers in the EU who contact them, the more demand they see, then hopefully the quicker they will impliment these changes.  Please contact these brands direct through their website or Social Media pages if you would like to see them EU compliant.

At this time we DO sell Special Effects, Manic Panic, Directions, Crazy Color, Adore, Pravana, Stargazer, Via Natural, Hermans and Rebellious Hair Dyes on the Beeunique website
