As you can see she does have a clear root line that is quite a bit darker than what we were going for. When a client is this dark and wanting to go lighter, you have to be careful because it pulls very red. We used less warmth in her formula than we did on Lucy Allen and still came up with a very golden root. After toning with pure violet we came up with the perfect honey tone. Don't be afraid to go warm with blonde, I do think it can look more natural then ashy tones. So ladies over 40... do not be afraid to bring in a photo of a 20 something year old celebrity because hair is just hair and can be customized to fit any age, lifestyle, or hair type. You go Vicki!
The next color I did was this Kelly Clarkson photo......
What I love about this color is that it has very very subtle dimension. You do not have to have clear highlight lines to change up your color. Deepening the tone of your brunette and adding slight highlights that are about 3 levels lighter than that color. I used two lovely ladies for this color meet best friends Ashley Hall and Emily Davis before pictures...
I ended up taking Emily's color slightly lighter and adding LOTS of shine and a few highlights on the underneath and a few through the top. They are very subtle. We darkened Ashley's one level and added some ashy toned highlights. The highlights are hard to see in the photos, but that was the goal, you want to see the different tones in the way they move. This is a great option for clients who want a change, but are fearful of dramatic change. Work it girls!
