In my experience, there's a good chance for a halo doing that. You'd have to be very gradual in your attempt.
A halo may be less obvious than the red. So......

ROL (release of liability) signed first and "expectations management" may be the important ingredient.

Yeah thats what the cold water is for, you have to be able to control it, not just blast it with heat

I called her an hour ago, she had another guy come in and he desolved the fibers into a yellowish mess


my guess is a reducing agent left too long before extraction


I realize I could throw the other guy under the bus for incompetence but I don’t play that way

If we had the time, I’m confident we could have at the bare minimum, reduced the stain to a very dull pink shadow

she didn’t wait, and I didn’t care :lol:

sounds like chemically accelerated peroxide, I see it often after a franchise has got there first

reducers can strip colour but never seen them dissolve fibre
