Hi,
So I have a client that is about a level 7 naturally, highlighted to about a level 9. We tried a base bump/ base brake on her, about an inch of new growth.
I used schwarzkopf blondme lifting ice, which I’ve used on other clients around the same level and it shifts well and less warmth.
This client lifted unfortunately more brassy/gold, and she prefers to be cooler (I did warn her she could lift warmer with base brake)
I then tried neutralizing with Shades EQ 9P, and while it was still a little warm, it neutralized. I had a feeling she would eventually think it’s still too warm for her and I thought the shades EQ might not have been strong enough or stay in her hair. So I anticipated her calling back a couple days later.
My gut is saying try Wella color touch relights /86 to try canceling out the warmth and hopes that it will stay in her hair until the next round of highlights. Or perhaps 10/81?
Or trying like Illumina 10/69?
My salon is mostly Wella, does anyone have suggestions on what I can use to neutralize?
It seems so simple, but I’m stumped
