Hey. I am getting a lot of redflags in terms of colour when my boss is around. My gut tells me he is wrong so I feel like I just need confirmation.
So basically we had a client come in yesterday. She wanted this;
but with the light pieces more towards the ends and quite a bit darker.
my boss highlighted the hair. She has been at home tinting with salon quality products (her best friend owns a salon). As I am training my boss asked me to design the toner. I was all for that but I said "I would prefer to look at the hair after the foils come out first," as her hair had 6 years of level 1. He got really angry at me and called me an idiot for over complicating things.
Her hair was very red copper (more of the red side) and so we looked at the colour book. My boss claimed she could only get reds which she did not want at all. I said "I actually feel this colour is achievable" (5/4 4 being a little red but it was subtle). My boss agreed. So he mixed up the 5/4. I thought if the hair was already warm we would need to just mix up the 5.0 or even add a tiny dot of matte into it.
My client referred to her hair as brassy and hated it. But my boss keeps saying the colours come true to their swatches. I just didn't think this was quite right so I am asking for a second opinion. Not to say anything bad about him but my gut is telling me you have to consider the hair colour before applying the tint.
1 (current hair colour) + 2 (tint) = 3
