Finding the right shade ...Ahh, I so feel your pain! Finding the right shade of blonde is such a process, and then having to explain that to someone new in hopes they understand what you mean is a whoooole other process. I usually leave the salon looking SLIGHTLY purple, but that's the norm for me as I always tell my stylist I want "white blonde, but golden blonde" and then to whatever degree of intensity... I of course use very technical terms like "SUPER blonde" or "I want like, BLONDE BLONDE" and rarely "Maybe a few lowlights would be a good idea..." ;) Haha. But the slight purple tinge washes out after a shampoo or two. Yours is definitely still looking bright & fresh in your photos, so don't fret!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217002763887009755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335781471218233480.post-39016539976865352362011-10-14T03:56:20.695-04:002011-10-14T03:56:20.695-04:00I know what you're talking about.

Firstly I even didn't notice by myself but my sister...She was stared at me in amuse. My co-workes (all men) were so used to seeing my blond that first day they didn't recognise me. It was terrible. Now I'm back light blond but when I'll be doing my hair now I think I will be horrified.Kingahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044386170928267058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335781471218233480.post-25156391886386324052011-10-14T00:19:20.389-04:002011-10-14T00:19:20.389-04:00Diana: OMG, what an experience!!

Nice to know I'm not the only one too!<br /><br />M.R.: I paid and tipped too... and then thought, 'WTF did I just pay for?!'

I hate paying for somethin...wow- that's awful!<br /><br />I hate paying for something you are not happy with. <br /><br />I had a lady cut a huge chunk of my hair down to about an inch. she tried to cover it up and I still paid and tipped her! i don't know what i was thinking. That would never fly with me now.<br /><br />Glad it's looking better!<br /><br />mindofmr.blogspot.comM.R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10669495997679534802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335781471218233480.post-73636717548208519282011-10-13T10:38:44.626-04:002011-10-13T10:38:44.626-04:00A few years ago, I dyed my (naturally dirty blonde...A few years ago, I dyed my (naturally dirty blonde) hair brown-black. When the summer rolled around, I decided that I wanted it back to blonde. I had an appointment where they stripped the color, dyed, and highlighted. It wasn't as light as I wanted it, although it looked great!, but the stylist assured me that it would get there over the course of 2 or 3 more appointments..."baby steps" she said. The next appointment was to lighten it a little bit more. Well, after it was all dyed and dried I thought it looked a little bit too yellow but was told that it was just the harsh flourescent lighting in the salon. So I paid - and this too was the most expensive bill I had ever paid for my hair! - and went on my way. Here's another similarity to your story: As I was walking through the mall after my appointment I caught a glimpse of my hair in a mirror under a skylight, in natural light. And it was even more yellow and horrible than it looked in the salon. Not only that, but it was incredibly blotchy and horrible. I left the mall immediately. The next day I went to a really high end salon as a walk in just to get an opinion from the master stylist on what I could possibly do to fix the disaster on my head. She was completely shocked that someone had done that to my hair and had let me leave their salon with it looking like that. She was so nice though - she said that she felt so bad that someone had destroyed my hair color that she offered to do some work for free. Granted, she didn't go the whole nine yards and give me an entire color treatment for free, but she did put some toner in my hair and it made such a huge difference. She wouldn't accept any money from me, so I ordered a nice gift basket and sent it to her salon with a nice thank you note. Then I went a few weeks later to the same salon and have been going there for color ever since. <br /><br />Good to know that I'm not the only one who had such a disaster!Diananoreply@blogger.com
