Ok, here's my situation-there is a fairly new client where I work. He is a very feminine man, and dresses up and wears his hair like a woman. I always do his eyebrows, but today, he also wanted color. So, he comes in with black haircolor, with grey roots. He wanted to be blond with black lowlights. Well, the first thing I thought of is that I should have stripped out the black color, which I know is difficult, time was an issue, and I was concered about the condition it would leave his hair in. Instead, what I came up with which seemed like a good idea at the time, is that I should leave the black where is was, put on a blond color, and highlight with foils to break up the black, and then lowlight the roots with black. I used V-lite 40 vol, with Socolor 510 for 45 mins. I really believed the lightner would go through the black at least somewhat, but it didn't really. Plus, he didn't like the shade of blond that came out, besides the fact that some of his grey didn't even take. My coworker who knows a little more than me said that he is probably on hormone medication to grow his breasts, and medication would make color not take, plus, he probably the black color was probably coated on so much because he did it at home. So anyway, of course I didn't do the lowlights, and didn't charge him for the color. Luckily, he was very nice about it, and wants to come back to finish it. He wanted me to take some time to think about any suggestions I could come up with that would look good, because he is going to try not to touch it at home. And I mean anything, anything that could be done colorwise. He still at the off color blond and grey at the roots, but his hair is cut in an angled stacked bob now, so at least half his hair is off. So...anyone have any ideas or suggestions??? I have a week to think about it. Anything that would work? I would really appreciate anyone who is willing to help! |
