As a new stylist I'm looking for highlighting tips.If a customer (level 4) wants highlights 2-3 shades lighter than their natural color and doesn't want bleach would you choose a color 2-3 shades lighter with an ash base (for cool tones)? Thanks for any advise.

Hi jj,Well this could be a pretty tricky question to answer. I would like to suggest that if William is lurking around that he could answer this better than most.He gets pretty busy, but hopefully he will see this post and provide some of his legendary wisdom. :-)Best wishes & congrats on your new career.Karen> As a new stylist I'm looking for highlighting tips.If> a customer (level 4) wants highlights 2-3 shades> lighter than their natural color and doesn't want> bleach would you choose a color 2-3 shades lighter> with an ash base (for cool tones)?

Thanks for any> advise.To JJ;Please read my article in the 'articles' section, I think that this will shed a little light on the subject. When highlighting without bleach use a high-lift color on lighter blonde shades to achieve one step max lifting. On medium to darker shades use an ash color usually 4 levels lighter than the base to achieve 2 levels of lift. Especially as a new stylist, always, always do a test strand, including drying it to see the finished results. Never judge a color for completeness until it has 48 hrs to 'Oxidize' unless you goof and have a disaster. If you study the 'color wheel' and try to be the best 'technically' that you can be, you will be rewarded with a great career! School is out, but class of 'experience' has just begun! william
