I really want to lighten my hair. Currently, my hair has a premanent color (dark brown), about 2 months old. I want to be a couple of shades lighter. Can a salon lighten my hair, or does it have to grow out?

I just want to be prepared so I'm not overly dissappointed when they tell me in the salon that they can't do it.

Thanks, guys!!!

They will be able but either they'll have to remove the color or bleach it out, becuz most of the time, color doesn't lift color, tho some salon's dye's w/ stronger ammonia apparently do, according to behindthechair.com. Since u only wanna go a few shades lighter, they will prob check the condition and texture of your hair, and if they bleach it they should only use a mild bleach and not leave it on for so long since ur not aiming to go platinum! Then they'll prob rinse that out and apply a shade of ur choice, in demi- or semi-permanent. But if they use a color remover, they'll then proceed w/ applying a permanent dye w/ 30 vol. developer to ensure the correct level of "lift" to take r hair to the target color.
