"This beautiful lady came to me with some crazy botched color correction," says Courtney Virbickis. "She had been doing a dark vibrant red for years and someone tried to remove the color to make her a baby blonde with pink accents but it wasn't going so well."

 "I've been working on this project for quite some time," says Courtney Virbickis (@quatneycakes) of Oscar and Lula, Jacksonville, Florida. "This beautiful lady came to me with some crazy botched color correction. She had been doing a dark vibrant red for years and someone tried to remove the color to make her a baby blonde with pink accents but it wasn't going so well."

This did not scare Virbickis. "She's naturally a level 3/4 so I had to lift her roots with Pravana Lightener with 25 volume then I pulled through some areas to blend bands. I toned her with Paul Mitchell PM shines at 9A with 4 violet color shots to give me and nice silver base color. This was followed with Pravana Vivids in violet and a touch of blue mixed with conditioner to balance the blonde and make her violet." The whole process took about 2 1/2 hours.
