I qualified in hairdressing NVQ level 3 over a year ago, but I'm a bit rusty on matching colours and prepigment. I would really appreciate some help. I mainly know just Wella because that's what I trained with.
Basically my client has platinum blonde hair wants a reverse balayage to break up the blonde and bring her natural colour down a bit further.

At the moment her hair is mostly a level 10 with pieces of 9.
Would you say she is naturally a base 7?
She wants her base colour brought down a bit and then she likes the look of 8/1 for the rest of her hair but she wants to keep a few pieces of her current blonde at the ends. She sent me these photos as ideas she liked:

I'm confused how to go about the pre pig.
In college we often used perfecton for prepig but I'm worried that will be too messy, especially since she wants to keep some of the blonde she currently has.
In college I also had to do lowlights on someone and had the pre pig mix in one bowl and then put the dye straight on top. (I can't remember when we used but maybe it was Koleston perfect and water?)
I don't know what would be the best if I'm doing more of a balayage/freehand method.
Thanks
