This was a fun day of color correction work.

Typically I try to keep my color processes down to one pattern based step and one back bar step, and I was so excited to be able to nail this color change that way as well.

It required some planning and a willingness to spend a lot, and i do mean A LOT, of time on working the new balayage pattern of lightener and medium brown color through her hair. The great thing was that once that was done and processed it was a cinch to tone her in the bowl. I mixed two levels of lightener as well as two shades of brown and interwove them to create a new base pattern and blend her roots while getting rid of the red band in her hair, then at the bowl we were able to tone her with a smokey blonde formula from Goldwell Colorance.

I’m really pleased by the end result.
