Me again 
I had a client who I used to do, who had 9% bleach foils with the odd 9N foils as well. She's naturally around a base 7/8 so fairly light to begin with.
In march she asked me to take her to a very dark brown, she wanted it a smidgeon darker than 4N! I politely told her that after spending so long getting to her desired blonde look I really didn't think it was good idea, as she is fairly picky and I didn't think she would like it. I explained that if she did decide she didn't like it, it would be a royal pain-in-the-butt to fix her back to a nice blonde colour as her hair wouldn't be in the best condition. I also explained that it would fade and look wishy-washy real quickly and need lots of maintenence, and that it would need to be a nice warm brown to avoid khaki tones.
All things considered we decided not to do the colour. I didn't hear from her from her after that, and I just presumed that it was because she was very busy having just taken on a second job and etc.
She has now just got in touch with me asking if I can do hers and two relatives hair that I used to ... could I possibly take her from a dark brown to a blonde/brown as she thinks her hair is too dark. So obviously, she has gone to a different hairdresser and got the dark brown done! This is her own perrogative but i'm now feeling very smug that she wants to change it again .. "I told you so" springs to mind.
My question is, do you think it would be possible without causing ALOT of damage to her hair? I'm thinking in this time frame she might've had say two-four coats of brown on so there will be some product build up.
Would a bleach bath be strong enough for her hair if it's this dark? A tutor in our college has been using an effasor? (I think that's what she said it was) to go from bright red to really blonde every few weeks ... would one of these work?
She's said she doesn't want to take it slowly when I suggested doing it gradually via highlight.
I'm thinking we'll probably end up going for something like a 6/7 in depth and then adding some cooler tones in future.
Thanks in advance!!
