    What name is best for my salon and give me a description stating why, please?

    Trainee hairdresser in need of help with colour correction

    Blue black

    I did a blue-black with majirel mixing 1 with 3.1 (can't honestly remember the ratio) but that's more of a subtle blue - like when the light reflects rather than being really obvious.
