Hair Dye Disaster... The salon messed up my hair!?

I have naturally dirty blonde hair, but I've been dyeing it brown for about a year now. Yesterday I went to a hair salon to get it back to its natural color, and they started off by trying to strip out the brown dye, which left my hair an ugly, unnatural looking blonde/reddish color. Then they tried to put in highlights to lighten it up, but all they did was make the roots of my hair an ugly greenish light blonde that doesn't even match with the other color. They told me to just let my natural hair grow back, but that will take months and I can't even leave my house right now.

Should I go back to the salon and try something else (without bleach) to lighten it and get rid of the weird color, or should I just decide it was a failure and dye it light brown with highlights so that it isn't so bad looking?

You should go back. A salon has a responsibility to find out what it is you want, find out your hair history, and then let you know if your request is reasonable or not. If you had a beautition who either did not get a clear idea of what you wanted to achieve, or did not take a detailed history of what you have been doing with your hair over the past few months, then the salon is responsible to reconcile and make you satisfied. Unfortunately, making you satisfied may not mean fixing your hair at this point.

You should definately go back. If you are not a strong personality, go with a friend or family member who will put up a fight for you. They should compensate you with a free deep conditioner and maybe some product you can go home with. After your hair grows out a bit, they should have you come back so they can cut off and style the burnt or discolored ends.

Good luck to you. If they don't fix this situation to your satisfaction, you have the right to call the Better Business Bureau of your area and file a complaint. You would be surprised how that can affect a business.

I wouldn't start dying it on your own. Contact the salon that did it and tell them that you are not satisfied. Ask for your money back...and then go to a salon that specializes in color.

Try going to a different salon and see what they think, a second opinion can't hurt.........good luck

hope you didn't pay for the treatment. go to another salon and get a consultation if they can fix it. let your hair rest for a while though.

i think you should go to the salon and be like fix my damn hair you screwed it up, i did that when they cut my hair and one side was like an inch shorter and they did it for free, idk you might have to pay b/c its dye but that's bad that they screwed up your hair.

and if that doesnt work,

dye it brown.

if you say that they "messed up" your hair.. you can go back and tell them you are not happy with the job done and hopefully they will fix it for you free of charge.

But im not sure if youd want to go back to the same salon that couldnt get the job right the first time.

to be honest if u didnt like it you should have said there and then, now uve paid for the treatment they might get a bit funny about changing it ( past experience ) so i would go to a different salon and see what they say, it makes all the difference i find. u dont wana go back there and they mess it up even more now do you?

Hair Dye Disaster... The salon messed up my hair!?

if you really dont like it you should deffinitely go back and tell them. they should fix it for you for free since it was their fault. tell them that the color wasn't what you were looking for and that its hard to get used to.

hope this helped!

i think prb light brown with high lights.however you will prb have to do it again soon .the striper will prb cause make it hard to hold colors.so you might do it again in about 2 months dye it darker.or put alot of different colors in to help it blend.like browns,reds,and blondes

The sucky thing about this is, hair stripping is a nice way of saying powdered bleach. It does not get all the color out of your hair and alot of the times leaves patchy spots. What you need to do is go to a haircolor specialist. They will be able to help you a great deal. Be sure to call around, dont go back to the same salon, lol. Good luck!

I would go to a different salon then you went to and I would never trust the salon you went to again. I wouldn't attempt to do anything to it yourself though because you could end up making it worse than it already is.

GO BACK TO THAT SALON AND TELL THEM IF THEY DO NOT FIX YOUR HAIR SO THAT YOU ARE COMPLETELY SATISFIED...YOU ARE REPORTING THEM TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU OR CONSUMER AGENCY(every state has one) and you plan to take legal action,too. No good salon would ever let a customer walk out like that! I hope you did not pay for it....if you did demand your money back,too. Make sure when you go in there, you let your presence known,let their other customers "see" and hear what they did to you.....believe me, they will make try to fix your hair very promptly....if they don't...REPORT THEM!!! I feel terrible for you, really. Go to a beauty supply store with a person who is a "color" expert and I am sure she will guide you through the steps to fixing your hair yourself. GOOD LUCK!!!

Hair Dye Disaster... The salon messed up my hair!?

freakin sue them. no just kidding. go to a diferent salon that acuatlly knows what their doing, and ask them how u can get ur natural color without majorly damaging it. i think go back 2 natural cause with the brown u'll just be adding evn MORE color.

THATS HORRIBLE! you need to go back to that shop and get your money back, go somewhere else to get it done. hairstylist like that burn me up, they give the rest of usbad reputations. without seeing your hair or putting my hands in it i would have to say that they shouldv'e not bleached you for one, they shouldv'e dies you back to a blonde with 40 volume(the highes you can go with out using bleach) and some tca drops in the color, and under the dryer for 10 min. 40 volume can damage the hair if you leave it on for a long time, hair color is normally 30- 40minuites. the tca drops turn a 30-40 min. hair color into a 15 min hair color, which helps save the condition of your hair. once you were blonde enought i would have gone back and put a few highlights in to make it look more natural, because natural blondes have up to 3 shades of blonde in thier hair. this is a fairly simple process, but when you get a stylist who doesn't like her job, or knows nothing about color and thinksshe does, this is what happens. the worst part abotu it, is that they knew they did a bad job, charged you anyways, and let you leave the store lookin like that. go get your money back and go somewhere else. they will give it back without a problem. and if not go over thier heads. i wish yo uthe best on your journey to blonde! and i'm sorry that that happened to you
