Question Posted Wednesday December 1 2010, 9:32 pm
So my hair is a natural dark, ash blonde. I went to the salon today and picked a color (dark blonde) to fix up my roots as my color was still light from the summer. To my horror, my color came out dark brown. My hairdresser said that it should fade a little because it was not permanent, and if I wanted she could do highlights for another $25. I really do not like my hair this dark, and I do not know what to do; if I go one number lighter, it is too light and brassy and orangey. But, I'm afraid that if I do highlights it will just look bad and streaky and still do dark. Will any home dyes (ex. clairol natural instincts brass free) work without turning my hair brassy? I really don't want to pay extra to fix my hair for something that is not my fault... Please help!

And, she or he should have made it right for you at no cost. The fact that you were offered highlights for an additional $25 was ridiculous. If it's true that the haircolor isn't permenant then it will wash out after awhile. Don't try to do anything to your hair right now. You really don't want to make it go from bad to worse. In the meantime, I'd contact the manager of the salon and voice your complaints. Find a new salon where the hairdressers are more experienced. Good luck!

or you could always try bleaching your hair and then dying it with the actual color you want.
FYI- i wouldn't use the brand you picked the first time again. pick a different brand. i love Loreal. never turned my hair a different color than what i expected and it lasts a long time :) [ lovealways1221's advice column | Ask lovealways1221 A Question ]
