Just a bit of a panicked plea for help really hairGeeks!
I have my first client in for a colour consultation and t-bar tonight. She's requested low-lights and I'm ok with that. I'm supposed to be being assessed, but not sure I'll be able to as I am having a freak out!
My client is dark blonde base 6. It's coloured with pro-colour and she is saying she wants low-lights.
But for some reason I think she's confused with what low-lights are, and when I had her for a cut, she most definitely had very fine highlights (but in a caramelly colour). She didn't want me to colour her hair at that point so I didn't pay that much attention.
So for some reason if she wants lowlights I'm good with picking shades 6 and under and mixing with 6% and leaving for desired time. That'll be ok I hope?
But I'm freaking out about if she wants highlights (possibly toned highlights) - I know tint won't lift tint so I will need to bleach but my mind has completely gone blank. Seriously I've been having palpitations all morning and she's not in till 6pm tonight!! I've not done anything colourwise yet.
So can you help me out please?
If she wants normal bleached highlights, I'd just bleach with the percentage dependent on what lift she wanted? Or just use a low 3% and wait full development time of Matrix bleach?
And if she wants toned highlights, what then?! Do I bleach for full development time of the Matrix bleach we use, and then add on a colour for another 40 minutes? AHHHHH - I don't even know what products will be useful for this!!
I know my teacher was explaining something similar to my classmate on Monday and I thought she said leave bleach on for 10 minutes then put the colour on, but when I asked her what I needed to do, she had to leave :'-( so I'm none the wiser!! And I can't ask anyone for help if I want to be assessed.
ha-ha!!! :/ Lol I'm such a plonker, and I hope this makes sense!
