Yesterday, i got my roots touched up red becuz i'm away from at the mo and i couldn't really travel w/ my usual prof. color. So anyway, i specifically told my hairdresser i wanted this one shade in koleston perfect WITH 30 volume. So I decide to get a pedicure as well. Anyway she comes back from mixing the color and i said, this is 30. volume rite? She said no that it's too strong peroxide (huh? I use 30 volume ALL the time only on my roots!!! grrrr) and said it was 20. So i tried to convince her w/out sounding like i was arguing or trying to sound rude then finally i give and start reading a magazine hoping for the best, but remaining skeptical, to the point where i had tears in my eyes. And after applying she left the color on under the heat for around 30 mins and washes it off.
THEN she says why don't you check the color now so we still have time to fix it, and i look: ITS JUST A FEW SHADES OFF OF BLACK, MY NAT. COLOR!!! So i calmly say, "oh yeah it's a little too dak and then i don't want my hair to grow out uneven" and i think the worst part is she saw from before that it didn't lift too much! So she and another stylist mix the 30 volume after all THAT and applu it quickly then sit it under heat for another 30 mins. Finally it actually lifts the previous color much to my surprise and comes out ALOT lighter this time. I wish it could've been lighter tho.
Anyways sorry to go all off topic like that and intruding ur post but i needed to vent becuz i can understand where ur coming from!
Well this whole thing would've been avoided if she had just LISTENED to me the first time!!! Grrr, of course 20 vol won't do anything, that's what they use in all permanent home colorants, otherwise i'd be using them would'n't i??? I even told her that i use 30 all the time but she still didn't listen. I know i'm sure my hair is worse off than it would've been w/ just 30 vol. (but thank god my hair strong!) Sigh, so i ended up spending 6 hrs in the salon and my butt was sore at the end of it!
So anyway, once again sorry abt going off on a tangent like that but i feel MUCH better. lol, i hope u can get rid of the green, maybe the color-depositing shampoo will gradually cancel out the greenish tint!
All the best!!
