My color bowl decided to take a dive during a full foil
So I'm in the middle of a big foil highlight on a regular, and I go to grab my color bowl from the station. It's one of those ceramic ones, you know? I must have set it right on the edge because the next thing I know, it just tips over and shatters on the floor. Purple demi-permanent color EVERYWHERE. It looked like a grape jelly bomb went off. My client just stared at her feet and said, 'Well, that's a new one.' I had to scramble to mix a new batch, clean up a huge mess, and keep my cool all at once. Has anyone else had a total color bowl disaster, and what's your go-to for keeping them secure now?

and speaking of rubber bowls, I actually had one of those bounce off the counter mid mix once because I didn't realize it had a tiny crack in it from dropping it. Purple color went flying everywhere, hit the ceiling fan, and then it was like a disgusting purple rain situation for the next five minutes. My client was laughing so hard she almost choked, but I was just standing there with the bowl in my hand like 'welp, guess we're doing this now.' Now I always check my bowls for cracks before I start anything, even the rubber ones can betray you.

Wait, you're still using ceramic bowls for color? That's asking for trouble. Get the heavy rubber ones that grip the station, they don't slide or tip. I switched years ago after a similar mess and never looked back.
