Alisha Jared (@alishajaredhairartistry) from Siren Salon in Vancouver, WA, has been seeing this client for 6 months and "she has been everything from a level 4 red-violet to a 'Little Mermaid' red. When she came in and said she wanted her blonde back I knew I had my job cut out for me. Her bright red had faded slightly so I used that to my advantage."
SESSION 1:
STEP 1: Section into 5 sections. (2 sides, top, 2 sections in back) Foil all the hair with baby lights using Wella Blondor and 10 volume starting in the back and ending at the front, adjusting developers as you go. "I ended on the top panel with a 30 volume.")
STEP 2: Process 30-40 minutes at room temperature lifting to level 6 red/orange. Shampoo with Davines Nou Nou Shampoo.
STEP 3: Glaze at the bowl with Joico Chrome A7=A5=N6 and Joico Chrome Activator 2:1 ratio. Watch until desired tone is reached. Condition with Davines Nou Nou conditioner. Apply Joico Kpak cuticle sealer for 5 minutes. "This brought us to a beautiful, blended rose gold."
