Copic Hair Salon

Hi readers! Happy Wednesday! I hope your week is going great so far! I’m pleased to have guest designer, Sandy Allnock back to give us some awesome tips and tricks on Copic Hair Color ideas to make colored hair more realistic looking! Be sure to watch her video for even more tips & tricks! We’re proud to sell her line of stamps called “Ciara’s Friends”. Feel free to peruse them below and enjoy!

Hello stampers and color-ers! It’s my turn to bring you some crazy fun with Copics….but first I want to say a huge THANK YOU for your warm welcome over here with all your sweet comments on the blog and YouTube! I read them all – it means so much to know that you’re enjoying my creations!

Enough of all that. You’re intrigued by that Hair Salon title, eh? Let’s get down to brass tacks, then!

So many folks have asked me for suggested colors for hair. And as you’ll see in the video, it’s so hard to pick! There are crazy numbers of possibilities, especially if you’re like me and pick all kinds of wacko colors to try out. So click the play button, and I’ll meet you below the video for a little more info.

Watch the video:

What did you think? Nutty colors, eh? I hope it shook up your thinking just a little; it’s a shame that we buy ALL these markers and just don’t use them all to their fullest. Me included! I’ve been trying to play with my less-used colors and experiment with what they go with – so keep an eye out for me to come up with more crazy suggestions!

In the video, I said you could take a better look at the sheet of samples, so here it is. If you’d like to download a higher res pdf, you can pick that up over HERE.

And of course, the finished card – pin away! A bonus tip – to fussycut the award, trim it out as best you can with some detail scissors, then find a matching Copic – color over it and no one will ever know your fussycutting isn’t 100% perfect! Here I stamped it in navy ink, so found that B18 matches that.

Don’t forget the inside of your card! I layered the top section with matching paper from BoBunny, then stamped the poem sentiment (anyone know this old JT song?) and diecut it with the heart from the Simon Says Hearts and Spoons set. I added a scrap of the red paper along with a little heart – and the inside has lots of love!

One last picture for you…this is me and my girl Ciara! Just so you know, she’s 14—that’s way old for a sweet golden retriever. She’s been with me since she was a year old, and has been by my side faithfully all these years. My stamp line (8 sets now, 2 more coming out in a couple weeks!) is in honor of her, so she’ll have quite the legacy. All of her pup friends, other critters, and people we know, are being turned into stamps that will get used for years to come. She’s pretty proud!

  1. Thank you so much for doing this. I’ve been asking for hair combos on many other blogs. I saw one on Spectrum Noir but it’s hard to convert their chart to Copics. You are the first I’ve seen to have made a chart to download! Your fur baby is adorable. You can tell she’s well loved. Thanks again.

  5. Hi, What a nice story to read up, I enjoyed the way you have expressed!! Also I wanted to endorse this wigs company which is a better choice for hair salons to endorse please check this Lace Front Wigs This is provided by PinkLaceWigs, this is one of the best hair care wigs providers, I would advice to just have a look at their site to know more about their products.

  6. Hairstyle is what you actually do every day. I can’t live without it and seems to be the best solution. Actually, I was paying a huge attention to it, and recently I decided that https://glaminati.com/best-mens-haircuts/ might be the best solution. I prefer such a solution because you can easily find a lot of new and interesting info tools if you are found to improve yourself.
