Really need some advise please.
Have a new client coming in on Saturday. She has red all over and wants an ombré colour of a chocolate brown going to a blonde. I will attach some pics of her hair now and what she would like. I have not seen this client in person only through the picture.
Now I have had very little experience with ombré. So am sooo nervous. I have done just a couple of ombres where I have only bleached and toned the mid lengths and ends. They turned out great.
Have also stretched my daughters roots down with a Demi and didn't touch her ends. They also turned out great. But I haven't combined the roots and ends in one sitting.
I have searched you tube and found a couple of tutorials but they smudged the colours down towards the mid lengths but was on virgin hair and it didn't go all the way to the bleach.
Now with this colour been a colour correction I have to colour all the hair. I was talking to my supplier and she said she just smudges the bleach to where the tint/demi will go to.
Because I haven't done this I am worried the bleach sitting on the tint will make a gold brassy mess. She said it doesn't but am feeling skeptical.
Now because it is red I was thinking to give it a cleanse with a bleach bath first to strip out some of the red. Not sure of the condition of the hair so will probably recommend it to be more of a caramel colour on the ends incase the ends won't lift enough. So am using affinage and was thinking 5.01 on roots and depending how much I can lift the ends maybe 7.01 or 8.01 with 6.01 on mid lengths. Or should I forget the 6.01 and just smudge the two colours on mid lengths to create a 6.01.
Or should I do the dark colour first. Wash, dry and then do the ombré then tone?
It's 1:00am so apologies if this doesn't make sense. Was booked out today (Thursday) and again tomorrow and have spent all night on you tube and trying to figure this out. And over thinking. Haha. Anyway as nervous as I am I love a challenge. So would really love to get into ombré, balyage etc. have been barbering for the last few years so am not up to date with the latest techniques. Have a home salon so am bound to get more of this type of work I hope. Am familiar with goldwell and if I think really hard wella.
.
Any suggestions would be fantastic.
