Low light correction

[Millie82]

I have a client who has recently had a combination of low lights and is very unhappy. The overall result she says is too dark.
It looks like base foils of 6/7 (quite ash), foils of a cool red (cherry) and foils of bleach blonde.
She wants to be a lighter more coppery tone overall?
I'm concerned about going in with a bleach bath as the red may go pinkish? And the base a bit green?
Her base is 6/7 40% grey but sides and fringe are probably 80/90%.
I think that's why she thinks it is dark because she has used to the lightness of her grey?
I think her last colour before this one was more of a warm, bleachy mix however that did look a bit brassy by the photos?

I wouldn't worry about what color the bleach bath yields due to the fact she's wanting a allover warmer Cg or Gc base most likely in a 7-8 range. If the cherry goes pinkish & the base goes greenish consider the fact you will be correcting with a target level N/.0 (30-40%)+ target warm level (60-70%) base. You must add an amount of the missing N /.0 to your formula when coloring white hair....the higher the % white the more base color needed up to about 50% base : target color for 70%+ white hair. If it comes out green opt for a Cg having the stronger copper to gold.

Thankyou. Actually in real life after a few washes the redness and left with more a copper hue. It had faded but still quite deep.
I actually went in with weaves of bleach with 20 vol kept it simple it broke the contrast up well and lifted the warmth up enough.
No green or cherry tinges thankfully.
