Has your client tried to go red before, but it never quite turned out the shade or tone she wanted? Getting your client to her ideal shade of red will keep her coming back for future visits with you! Here's a great example of a process that went true-to-tone.
Alisha Jared (@alishajaredhairartistry) from Siren Salon in Vancouver, WA says, "My client spends an immense amount of time caring for others, leaving little time for herself (or her hair). She's had previous unsuccessful attempts at going red and I knew I could get it right for her with a little patience and Olaplex!"
"The amount of shine and luminosity her hair had after the service was incredible - her hair truly was in better condition post lightening service."

STEP 2: Mix Wella Blondor + 40 vol + appropriate amount of Olaplex #1. Starting in front, take 1/4" subsections and apply from 1" off scalp through ends. Process to desired level of lightness (in this case a level 6).
