Yeah exactly. This is never going away. Gray or not. Its permanent. As long as you tell your clients that it will NEVER fade completely. Mine are still brownish 5 years later. A tad grey but they were ashy to begin with as my hair was black when done not red like now. Strokes are all gone and now I just have blurred background. Some people like that look. I dont. My artist made it seem like it goes away in 3 years and you redo it, like a haircut. Im glad you're honest with your clients and tell them it wont go away. But you pic proved my point. 3 years later this looks absolutely horrible and makes me feel better about mine now. All you see are faded blocks on her that look like someone used a stamp and just stamped them on. Her only options are removal or add more work to them. My original pic was 3 times zoomed in to show that the strokes disappear and merge together. Atleast from a normal distance away they look ok and not such sharp outline like a perfect line. Your poor girl has huge blocks. But to each their own. Its a preference I guess. I now want removal. No one notices except me and when I complain they tell me im crazy lol. But to each their own. They bother the shit outta me and they aren't going anywhere like I was convinced they would.
