I'm calling all experienced colorists here! I desperatly need your help!
My friend moved to my area so I'm doing her color now. She used to be blond but stopped the highlights a year ago. She switched to a medium auburn wich she liked, and she has maybe an inch or 2 of bleached at the tips. The 2 last times she went to her regular salon were she used to live she decided to go a little more reddish, and she didn't like it much, so went she got her roots done she requested they go back to her regular auburn wich was more copper. For what she knows, they did the roots with the regular recipe, then the lengths with 30 vol to try and lift the red. That didn't happen obviously, and her roots turned more like strawberry dark blonde. They then tried to cover everything with matrix sync color 7cc/and some light auburn which she can't remember the number. It turned a very dark weird auburn red purple.
This is where I took over. I tried a color remover which brought her hair to a dark golden blonde, with a very subtle orangy tone to the lengths. I rinced for a half hour to make sure it wouldn't cause a chemical reaction.
I used a mix of color sync 7cc again but with some 8 cg, with 10 vol. It turned a very dark auburn with copper/golden hues. She finds it way too dark, level 5-6. I did an olaplex treatment thinking all the processing sent her hair into a shock, and hoping it would go litghter. I suggested she uses a cheap shampoo with sulfates, and all that comes of is the copper tone, she's going browner and browner. We even tryed mixing powdr bleach with shampoo and it only stripped some more copper. She hates her hair. I did her a mask between treatments, she even uses olaplex n.3 at home to try and make them less porous. Her hair doesn't seem much damaged though, it only felt dryer avec the bleach shampoo but after olaplex it was back to life.
What do I do now? Please tell me there is a way to bring her back to her medium/light auburn?
