Sheena (@queenstylista) of QueenStylista's Mane Artistry, Philadelphia, PA, had a color correction on her hands after her client played with a little "at-home" spot coloring. "She wanted to start from gold/blonde and transition to an icy gray." Sheena jumped in for the save and shares details for the three sessions:

First service (Pic 2 formula): 9G Joico, 30 volume + Olaplex #1, processed for 40 minutes. Rinsed well and applied Olaplex #2 for 30 minutes.
