Hello,
I am trained as a hairdresser to level 2 but have been out of the salon for 2 years. Im not looking to get back into it but do cut friends hair still for a little extra cash.
One of these friends is desperate for me to colour her hair as she cant afford the salon right now. As Ive been out of practice for so long I wanted to brush up on colour theory.
She is a warm base 5 and swears blind its all virgin hair, the red tones are quite apparent. She's looking for a cool 7 to 8 base.
Now obviously 2 to 3 shades lift can be done with tint, if her hair is virgin as she says. Im not entirely sure I believe her and have told her my plans wont work if its not.
I was thinking of applying 8/81 or 8/11 and 12%,as a full head colour. As ive not coloured in ages, im not as knowledgeable on my theory, dont use it you lose it I guess.
Id love your opinions on what you guys would do. I've skin tested her today and taken a few test strands for me to try out.
