Fellow hairstylists/any woman who gets their hair regularly colored: help!!! (Sorry long explanation):
So back in January my boyfriend got me a gift card to get my hair done because my roots were terribly grown out and I've maybe gotten my hair colored twice professionally...ever. I've ALWAYS been wary of getting my hair done by others because when I used to get it cut, they would always botch it so I've just cut it myself since I was about 13, and only twice have I gotten my hair dyed professionally and it was what I actually wanted. So yeah, you could say I have trust issues with hair stylists. I didn't keep up on it like I should've, but hey that costs $$!!! Anyway, I decided to go for something different, a sort of red to blonde ombré, and the woman TOTALLY messed it up. I showed her a pic I wanted and everything and she just did it her own way; I had to get it fixed to just be one solid color (the first pic below, some kind of auburn red). I'd really like to just go back to blonde, preferably how it looks in the second picture (this was after fresh highlights, I'm normally dirty blonde and would get these done!) I've adjusted to the red but now it's getting warm again and I miss my blonde, can anybody recommend someone to successfully transform my hair back (that isn't TOO pricey)?? I'm mostly upset at the fact that she completely covered all of my blonde and it will cause damage to my hair to get it blonde again no matter what I try after all this hell back in January just to "fix" it...
