Had a new client on Saturday who started out as a base 5 naturally with about couple of inches root growth and the ends were around a 6 with a red tone. She previously had purple box dye on and stripped it out herself prior to consultation.
She asked for something like these pics.
So quite a broad image? I said the pics with the highlights closest to the roots would be more achievable so that it could all be done in one sitting. As a couple of these pics are a base 5 I figured to go along the lines of her natural base with bleach highlights. So I did full head of bleach highlights and colour touch 6/71 and 5/1 to neutralise the red tones but still leave it warm. I also tone the highlights afterwards with illumina 8/69.
She has now messaged me today saying she wanted a lighter, warmer brown with caramel highlights. And also that she has put s box dye on it that has apparently lifted the base colour slightly but not enough?! I have no idea what she has put on it as I'm waiting for her reply.
I just don't know what to do now? She said in hindsight she wanted something more like the first pic...but she didn't specify that? Do I rectify it for her, even though she sent me such a broad range of pics plus she's put s box dye on it since! If I'd have known that was what she was hoping for I'd have said it couldn't be done without lightening all of her hair first slightly and I don't think she would have gone for that.
Thanks if you've got to the end!
