I'd use a cap and pull several small strands through.  Apply BLEACH and process until it's the honey color that you want.  You may need to use a toner to get the color just right.  Stay away from single process color, it won't lift you to caramel, rather brassy orange. 

STRAND TEST to determine the timing to leave the bleach on.  Also, when applying bleach to the strands pulled through the cap, be very careful to not "smash" the bleach into the cap, because it will "bleed" creating splotches, that look like circles, on the hair.  Not cool at all. 
 
Anyway, hope this helps and good luck!

Oh!  I see, then the colorist should have no problem giving you what you want...bring her/him a picture of what you want and that will really help them a lot to achieve the look you want.
