Best Wella Koleston colours to use to get a slate grey?

[Josie Parkin]

I have a client wanting a slate grey. She has a natural depth of a 5. What are some formulas you'd recommend to achieve this?
I was thinking if i could lift it enough, to use 10/0 + 0/11 and a drop of 22/0 with pastel using the 11 rule. Would this work? I am in the middle of a strand test to see how much I can lift, then i will try the toner on top.

Hi, how far did you get with the strand test?

It lifted quite well actually and I used 30g 10/0 + 1g 22/0 and it turned out alright! She’s coming back in a few weeks so we can add a few more foils. Will show before and after pictures once we have the final result!
