How much will I need to bleach my hair to dye it a dark blue/green?

Question

My hair is naturally a medium brown and it is currently dyed red (with no bleach, so its not a totally extreme red) 
I want to dye my hair a dark greenish blue, like Manic Panic's "Enchanted Forest" for example.  I won't be doing any of this myself though, I'll get it done in a salon.  I just gave that product as an example of what the dye would be like
I dont want to bleach my hair too much though, because I don't want to damage it too much!  Since its a darker unnatural color, would I be able to bleach it at a less extreme amount and still get the full potential of the color? Thanks!

To get that vibrant color you're going to need to be blonde, so bleaching is a must. Just be sure to tell your hairdresser that you want the least amount of damage possible. He or she will know what to do.

It depends on how strong the bleach is. First you need to test the bleach you have on a strand of hair and wait for 45 minutes. Then take it out and try to dye it with the green. If it doesn't turn out the color you want it to be then you know to bleach it twice. Don't leave the bleach in for more than 45 minutes. If you want different tones of green than go ahead and dye it, but you might want to consider a toner for the color of blonde that you go to before hand. Hope this helps!!
