If I might add a word of caution when going red...since your hair is black, true, prelighting must be done in order to achieve the red you are looking for...the mistake that most stylists make in doing this is lifting to a blonde level meaning a yellow-ish color...when red is placed over this the result after a few shampoo's becomes "pink". The reason for this is there is no natural red pigment left as background color in the hair once it is prelightened....
When this service is performed...the prelightning should not go past a red-orange stage before red is applied. In most pro color lines, the reds contain no background color themselves meaning they are true reds...in order to make a red last longer in the hair and be the truest representation of that color red...there must be red present in the hair. To lift to a blonde and then put on the red would be a waste of your money.
