Can I go back to my light highlights?

I usually have very light highlights (plat. almost) but on my last visit to my hairdresser (who has been the same one I have been using for years) we must have had a misunderstanding (there is a slight language barrier) and she colored all my hair with what she told me was a 12? and did highlights.  (which I did not realize she was doing until it was already done) now my highlights are alot darker and my regular hair is very brassy(orange). I am not happy with it. Will this be hard to fix? When i commented about the orange tones she said they should calm down in a couple of weeks, but it has been almost two weeks and and they have not.  it also seems like my highlights have darkened. I am really not happy with it. Also, I added a toner a couple of days ago to calm it down some. Will this effect its ability to lighten? Should I talk to my hairdresser about my color or just go somewhere else to fix? Will it be hard to fix? Thanks

I think, if she has pleased you in the past I would go back.  She should redo it for free and you know she knows how.  You are always taking a chance with a new person.  Do they have the skill and do they really understand what you want?

Think about how many times you have paid her and prob. tipped her too.  I would be like you, hate to go back and hurt her feeling or say you are not happy etc.  But in this case, she knew you were not happy when you left so she should not be supprised to hear from you!
