Thanks for the info John!! When I'm ready I'll call they stylist to ask if they will cut from a stock piece. If they know what they are doing then it just makes sense to skip the template process. That would be a relief.

About the stylists you listed....does anyone here actually "recommend" them? I'm just very cautious about where these names come. I'm sure you understand as we've all heard the bad stories.
Thanks again!
p.s. Can I still order a color ring here?
