QuoteReplyTopic: strawberry blonde to platinum? Posted: June 29 2009 at 7:19pm
my hair is a weird strawberry blonde slightly orange color ( level 8-9). It was lifted by a hairdresser last week from a deeeeep brown and black chunks.
I'm going back in 2 days for "session 2" where he claims he can get my platinum & to bring in ideas for platinum hair. I think he's shooting for the stars here..
Only problem is NOTHING he has said has gone right. I was supposed to have a medium brown hair color for a month or 2 and come back, turns out it went lighter but redder.. and i was stuck with this for a week. Also these 2 sessions are costing me nearly 500$!! in one week. ( which from what i understand is .. fairly normal..)
I just don't want anymore surprises.. .. and want some other opinions or thoughts.. so i am not stuck with some other awful color and and need to come in again and fork over MORE money!
Thanks for your advice in advance.

http://www.nucleardoll.com/levelsoflift.html So which one of these colors are you? Do you have a photo? How is the condition of your hair & Have you gone to other hairdressers to get a second opinion or free consultation? (Never hurts) especially if they use the type products you research or like...
what is he using & does he foil or air midlengths / ends then do the roots?

my hair is to the middle of my back. The top part (root to my shoulders) is a level 9, then past my shoulders where there was lots of black for many years is a level 8 for sure.
I asked 2 friends of mine who work at salons and they say he's doing really well.. and the price is fair (not a deal.. but not robbing me blind) I have deep conditioned my hair all week and it feels better then it did before i started this.
he does a shampoo / bleach for 30 minutes then foils in more bleach and 40 volume for another 30. Then tones.
Just wondering if i really will go super blonde... or if i should have a backup idea. I am so clueless about hair and lifting. I don't want to be stuck with any form of a orange, yellow or golden after all this.
Do you think you will get the ends of the (past black=level 8 ) trimmed? Sounds pretty good except the shampoo/bleach for 30 min

I like the slower lower 30 vol method & below...some say 40 really aggrevates the hair. Good to have buds in the business to help!! Hope it turns out fab..I love the hairstyles only mags that give great ideas...
