Hi All,
I'm working as an intern at a salon and while I am nowhere near advanced enough to attempt to perform color corrections, nor would I be allowed to, I've been posed with a challenge by my highly skilled superior who's been in the industry for 22 years. Redken, Wella, and Goodwell are the color houses.
She asked me to outline the steps I think need to be done in order to take a bottle blonde who's a level 6 in the root area, 8/9 throughout the mids to ends (looks lighter in the pic than it is) to an all over brunette.
And since I love a good problem I thought I'd give it a go.
The client: A busy mom of 3 young kids who wants a lower maintenance color. Natural level 3/4, a little grey, hair is in good condition overall (olaplaex always) ends are slightly more porous than the rest. She likes a slightly deeper root color and a bit of a shadow.
Currently her hair looks like this.
The Goal: More of an all over color
Pre pigment with gold/red.
Roots: Colorance Demi 1 part 6B with a bit of 6N, slight root shadow
Mid to Ends: CD 2 part 7GB + 1 part 8NP mixed with 2%
Glaze with CD clear
* maybe isolate some of the highlighted pieces in foil packets, tone with CD 8GB to add a little dimension?
What do you think, am I on the right track or way off? Be brutal with honesty. Be kind.
