I wanted a light ash brown but the lady made my hair dark red...?

Question

I'm so upset with my hair, it's not what I wanted at all. She kept asking me if I liked warm tones and if I liked red, I told her no I wanted an ashy color but she went ahead and made my hair an ugly dark red brown. With my hair being so dark can I fix it myself at this point? What the hell do I do it seems like they won't listen to what I want so I think I want to fix it myself. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I think the colour will fade alot each time you wash it. Perhaps if you soaked your hair for a while and then stood out in the sun (sun will lighten your hair a little). Otherwise you could just keep washing it until the colour comes out. This is likely because red fades really quick ( I used to have bright red hair)

If you're not keen on that, I think you every right to go back to the hairdresser and ask her to fix it. Say that you're not happy with the colour because you asked for a lighter colour and that this is not what you wanted. If she doesn't help you out then maybe its time for a new hairdresser.

Hope that helps :)

You Could Go Back To The Salon And Ask Them To Fix It. But, If You Think This Will Be A Problem, I Would Try The 'Do-It-Yourself' Approach. Get 'HAIRCOLOR REMOVER' (NOT Bleach) From The Beauty Supply Or Wherever You Buy Hair Dye. Make Sure You Get Developer If Needed And A Good Conditioner. Also A Box Of Whatever Shade You Want To Re-Dye To.

Good-Luck!!

Well, you should really get an answer to this from a hairdresser..but something similar happened to a friend of mine..She washed her hair w/Tide. It took the color out. Be careful though, its pretty strong. This is why I color my own....I havent had a hairdresser get it right for years. Go to Sallys next time and choose your own color. You can do it for a fraction of the price.
