"Do you know anything about Ardell Red Gold Corrector?"
I have heard of this product before, however, I haven't used it. You can try toning your bright spots with it, but mix it into a conditioner first. Then apply it for about 20 min or so. I'd strand test a small section to see what you are going to end up with though.
Sorry it took me so long to respond! I hadn't realized there was a question posted for me here, feel free to pm me anytime if I don't seem to answer, those pop up as soon as I log in.

Hmmm...I've never done a coffee rinse...sounds interesting.
I mixed a little Ardell Red & Gold Corrector into my shampoo last
night, and followed up with an overnight conditioning treatment. It's
been one week since the salon fiasco, and my hair color looks a bit
better. I'm going to continue to baby my hair with soothing treatments
for the next week or two, then I'll make a move on the color.
a coffie rinse helps darken and bring shine to your hair. Vinigar can help tone down the color you can add it to some shampoo and the smell doesnt last long.
let your beauty be natural!!

Rebekah~ Thank you! I have read a few of your posts, and you appear to
be quite knowledgeable. I was hoping you would respond to my post!
Do you know anything about Ardell Red Gold Corrector? I am considering
using this product to tone done the brighter spots for the time being.
I am going to give my hair another week or two, then I will heed your
advice.
My hairdresser is fairly new to me, since I recently moved. When I
returned to the salon and she tried to fix my hair, things only got
worse; hence I fear returning to her. I was able to find a highly
reputable colorist, but he cannot take me until mid-feb.
Thanks again!

Are you just wanting to fix those uneven color-spots at some of your roots? If so just touch up those spots with the appropriate dye...ask your girl to do it for you. She should be happy to fix it.
Are you terrified to go back to the salon and want to fix this yourself? Remember once you mess with it, the salon won't touch it for "free".
It seems like you want to go back to your natural color.
Anyway, if you have permanent color in your hair or a demi you can try using Colorfix. After the colorfix your hair will be unfinished looking and you'll need to dye it again. If you liked Butterscotch Cream (Colour Expert, although it states on the box a level 7, it is really a level 6), you could use Preference in a Light Golden Brown, or a Dark Golden Blonde (I recommend the second lighter color because your hair may be porous and the dye will be darker than you expect) http://www.brightonbeautysupply.com/index.asp?PageAction=MFG SEARCH&ManfID=52&Page=1 ,
Use 20 vol. peroxide. Keep this dye off highlighted parts. You will have to add some red and gold to the highlighted parts, in other words you will need to do a tint back on those sections. Prior to coloring them.
STRAND TEST to check for hair strength and resulting color prior to doing the entire head, please. Good luck and I hope this helps.

I've got myself in quite the hair bind, and I was hoping one of you knowledgeable souls might be able to offer me some guidance.
My natural hair color is a dark strawberry blonde. My hairdresser
convinced me to add some blonde highlights to my hair. When she added
the highlights she gave me bright blonde chunky streaks-not the subtle,
natural look I was going for. To top it off, she "freshened up" (as she
put it) my base color. The result? Orange roots. I went back to the
salon and received a gloss which made my hair purple, followed by a
mild elimintator mixed with shampoo and a toner. I left the salon with
a bright red-orangey color on the top of my head, and a milder red on
the rest of my locks. I tried some dandruff shampoo and Prell, which
helped a bit. The problem is that I still have uneven color-spots of
brighter (UNNATURAL) color at some of my roots.
I am considering using an eliminator, followed by a semi or demi color
in lieu of a permanent potion. However, I'm afraid of further uneven
results or damage to my hair.
Any suggestions? In the past, I have used L'oreal Color Experte 7.3 Butterscotch cream, and Natural Instincts 7r Saharan Rose-both have given me a hue very close to my natural locks.
