I've got a client. That I have a feeling is gonna cause me lots of headaches.
She has medical issues that cause her to cancel appointments REALLY last minute.
She usually colours her hair at home. Every two weeks.
She decided to come to me and have highlights to brighten it. But she wanted white blonde but not too light or too blonde. Lifted to a pretty ashen blonde considering how dark it was and how many times she's ended up colouring the ends
4 weeks later she comes again. Her ends are too khaki. But her hair is too yellowy and the colour was too warm for her. (I used a cool tone. Literally her own minimal warmth coming through). So I use a violet/blue ash opposed to a blue ash and whack a load more foils through (because actually last time there wasn't enough). Before she leaves w client of mine comes in with silver/ash blonde. And she tells me THATS what she wants. She FINALLY has an aim hallelujah. I KNOW what she wants now. Easy.
Next day she calls. The violet pigment is too obvious.
Day after she has appointment to sort the Violet. Client decides blonde is too much upkeep. Having to use silver shampoo twice a week. Ends are khaki etc etc. take me back dark.
Explain that the warmth will be needed (just a gold pigment) put back In. That's all fine.
Comes in with her hubby for his appointment a week or two after her appointment.
My hair is ginger. What can I do?! I reiterated about the warm tone on the blonde blah blah blah.
I said I'll use a neutral/ash tone next time. But I KNOW she'll say it's too ash/khaki. Grr. It's basically ALWAYS a colour correction doing hers!
