    Default help-hairdresser FUCKED up my hair

    so unfortunately the girl who usually does my color is gone for the summer to europe, so the owner did my color instead. BIG MISTAKE - my what was once platinum blonde hair is now dark grey with purple on the sides(he left in the purple shampoo way too long),i look like i have racing stripes.. to top it off with a beautiful ORANGE-BEIGE stripe down the middle, where my roots were. I paid $150 and tipped $20.... but once i came home and took a good look in the mirror i almost started crying... so what do i do?? on top of this i have a photoshoot tomorow

    first and foremost-- take pictures before you fuck with it so you can get it fixed for free or have them pay you your money back.

    can you go back tonight and have them fix it?

    otherwise-- you could try this product but I think your hair has to be lighter in order for it to suck out some of the brassiness:


    you could also do an at home treatment to get it to lighten up and even out a little bit but the problem there is that you could damage your hair. plus it's easier to go darker than lighter-- so if you absolutely must do the shoot tomorrow, then I suggest finding a light brown to help cover the hair (but do not do dark dark brown or black because that stuff is hard to bleach out.) but then again-- I doubt you're going to want that either.

    how does your hair have to be for the photoshoot?
    Can you get a wig? whether a full one or a 3/4 wig to cover the bad root section? or braid or style it in such a way and then do an all over
    non-permanent color spray over it so it's not as multi-colored?

    what a moron! I think you need to reschedule the photoschoot if possible.
    You're going to have fun chewing that dumbass a new asshole.

    *hugs!

    Leave it alone until an expert can fix it! One photoshoot is NOT worth ruining your hair!

    ^^Yeah, leave it alone. I had somebody fuck up my hair a couple months ago. It was supposed to be strawberry blonde with platinum hilights. It came out platinum blonde with nothing else. I straight up cried when I saw it once I made it home and I was supposed to be at a booking that weekend. The salon had me wait 2 days to come back, but they fixed it for free *and* gave me free shit.

    Go back and tell them it's messed up and you want it fixed. They should fix their fuckup.

    The good news is the grey and purple should be gone in a couple of shampoos... you can speed up the process by using a clarifying shampoo.

    The salon will have to fix the brassy stuff. You'll either need decolorizer if your roots aren't light enough or a toner to counteract the warmth.

    I feel so bad for you It should be an easy fix, though. They'll probably just let the excess toner rinse out over a few days or rinse it out with some gentle bleach, then lift the too dark spots and tone the whole thing.

    A salon once MELTED OFF most of the last four inches of my hair from highlighting it a few months ago! The girl just threw bleach on my hair haphazardly. When she rinsed it, she was like "Since it was such a dramatic change, why don't we put a deep conditioning treatment on it and let it sit while you drive home?" There were no mirrors in the "color module" of the salon, btw. She had been good the first two times she did it and I trusted her, so when I pulled my hair down and looked like Riff Raff I was PISSED. Because I walked out of the salon without a problem, there was little they offered to do except "throw a toner on it". I had no recourse because they make you sign a waiver before any color process!

    I had to cut my hair off to my ears, and got Great Lengths because my money took such a hit at work. It's finally at my shoulders, thank god, and healthy. I fucking hate salons.
