You will need to put an ash tone on her hair to neutralise the gold.
Otherwise if she wants to go lighter above the level 8, you will have to prelighten with bleach or erase the color out before you put a higher base tint on.

Depending on the condition you could use bleach and pastel but keep an eye on it, or like the other reply you could just apply a toner.
Tint won't lift tint but it will change the tone.

before any of that do all the appropriate testing. . incompatability etc etc. . .
assuming that goes fine, i wud be slammin in bleach foil s and a neautralising tint. . .

Dont want to confuse matters but We were taught at college that a violet tone would be best to neutralise gold, as a blue (ash) tone on yellow (gold) causes green. Is that not the case? We used wella at the time too.

Hi Scotty
I did a strand test which lifted well but slightly yellow so
I was thinking bleach foils and a neutralising tint in between - have you got any idea of what tint? I thought something like 7 with a tiny bit of /88?
Then I'm guessing the whole lot might need a toner to finish- any ideas?
You always seem to have good knowledge!!
Thanks!

it really is hard to advice correctly without seeing the hair, if the hair is a base 8 and she is happy with this depth for her base tint stick with an 8, possibly with a bit of 7 to ensure decent coverage. you will know the correct counteracting tones from your training, if it casting more orange you will need blue and if it is more yellow you need a violet.
once the colouring is completed, if your foils are left slightly yello i would advise using 10/38 and pastel toner to tone these foils. always works a treat for me
hope that helps x
