Boo hoo! I've had a pants day )-:
I have a new client, not totally new as trimmed her hair a few time, Brazilianed it etc, but never coloured until last week. She's not been happy with her usual hairdresser so asked me to step in, she was happy with the results. Anyway she asked me to fit some extensions, which I advised against pre bonded or micro rings as her hair is very fragile and thin, but Balmain had literally just rung and told me about their new Easy Volume tape extensions, so I thought these would be suitable, but bloody Balmain don't do the usual colours in this range and will only send samples with your first order, so I ordered Level 10, to colour it. I colour her hair Affinage 10.32 , put this on the extensions with 3% and it went khaki! It was also to light, tried 9.3 3% too dark, 6% to light aargh!!! I eventually did some parts 9.3 with a mix if 3% and 6% plus some in 9.035, seemed ok. Fitted them today and now they look to dark I'm not to concerned as they'll probably lighten, but my client isn't happy as I couldn't dye where the tape is and they are still level 10(613), she feels they are noticeable. I'm going back tomorrow to try to get as close to the tape as possible, they come with a guard so there are a few mm to colour, but I know I can't go over the tape, don't know what to do ???
Any help on either y colour was such a pain or if you've coloured tape extensions or Balmain. I feel really down about it as spent quite a few hours dying these at my own cost then charged £45 to fit them but feel I should refund client.
