Hi Geeks! Any ideas on this colour. I have a client with hair a base 6 virgin hair.

What colour brand do you use, is she looking for permanent or semi / quasi?

I use Matrix also familiar with Swarzkopf. She wants permanent but maybe a tone on tone would do. Any suggestions would be appreciated

I am a wella user, but I'm sure the basics will be the same, obviously you want to achieve blue, so if you're using permanent I would add blue mix tone / intensifier to the shade you pick. Because you'll get a small amount of lift which will pull warmth. If you use a quasi /semi a blue based tint should be fine, as you'll get pure deposit!! . If it was me I'd go with maybe a base 3 and add blue!! Or if the client is confident that that's what she wants I'd go for a blue based 2 in a quasi, I honestly think that photo may be enhanced. But you can achieve that colour, it's just a lot darker than people realise! Don't forget to remind her that cool colour don't reflect light as much, so it may not always look blue!!

Thank you. I was thinking along those lines. It's usually the bright blue clients like. In my 28 years of being a stylist haven't had a navy blue request before. [emoji106]
