Colour correction Help!! X

[HairByAlly]

Hey everyone..needing some advice! Bumped into a girl I knew years ago yesterday and she wants me to "fix" her hair next week..to cut a long story short she has been bleach blonde for years and recently wanted to tone it down (like the picture I've attatched) and went to a salon to have it done on Monday, when I saw it yesterday it was like a kharki green colour! She never said she didn't like it she just said it wasn't what she wanted and she wants me to give her a similar colour to the pic. Its a base 9..just with a green tinge! Just wondered if anybody could give me advise on where to start as iv never dealt with a greeny before!! Thanks

tell her to go back to the salon who coloured it.....unless she asked for khaki green that is!

Sounds like the work of wella to me lol.
Not 100% sure how I'd go about this one, what colour range do you use? X

Ok ive seen this a lot. Lets start with basic undertones. So the blonde would be a pale yellow to start with, so think of it as yellow. So your already starting with a yellow base. Then the colour that the stylist put on top would be a blonde, and blonde is made up of blue, so yellow and blue = green. Thats your problem, theres no pre pigment in the colour so you need to find a blonde colour with red in to neturalize the green, so i would suggest if using wella, to find a base 9 shade and add 0/45 mixer tone in. This will counter act any kiaki colour. Simples hope i helped

Lmao I always use google copy and paste for the spelling. Looking in the igora book I'd be tempted to use a 9.0 with a little 0-88 and I mean a drop. Remember you have a colour wheel in the back of the igora books, maybe add a tiny bit of 0-77 too, from the concentrates. I'd also use 20 vol xoxo

Just out of interest, why would you use 20 not 10 vol?
Sorry if it's an igora thing lol I haven't ever used it

Oh and it's Schwartzkopf lol it means 'Black Head' in German, bizarre isnt it? Lol

Because I'd want it to strip a bit of the red and orange, but it's just my silly quirks xoxo

Thankyou I've taken some strands from her so will be testing them on Monday! Thanks for everyone's help xxxx

If in doubt because it's so light.
Bleach and warm water and visually watch for a few minutes until unwanted tone is removed?
Then colour with ur target shade.

Sorry just wanted to ask a question regarding this...,
Would using wells 9/7 and 9/0 equally parts with 20 vol work??
I think /7 is brunette which is reddish.
I'm just going back into hair not up on colouring, hence question....

I found /7 to be khaki sometimes, this is another reason I love matrix!! Choose a colour that's nots not ash or neutral and the colour auto toned to the hair!! Simples!!

Got to agree on this one I e found the wells /7 to come up green or lose tone very quickly, and then look green

that would make a double base of 9, and thats a very prominent undertone of green, it wouldnt work well. i would use a 9/7 with 0/45 i always find that if you find a chosen colour then add the warmth by yourself using the mixertones then you achive the colour the client wants instead of asking them to choose a diffrent colour becuase of ''blah blah khiaki blah blah''

 

[snaz]

So without reading the info in packet how many much 0/45 would you mix in with colour?
