Maybe its just my misconception but I think a good salon should be able to do what you ask. Even if your hair doesn't look so hot shouldn't a salon be able to fix it into something you want. Here's an example: My hair was bleached last summer & I touched up the roots with blonde dye. Now I knew that I couldn't lighten my natural clor to blonde with only dye but it doesn't look as bad as I make it out to be, or so I'm told. Anyways, I'm sick of hair with different colors in it & want to go back to my natural dark brown. Now, the salon told me that it wouldn't come out even. I think they could get it even if I threw a $100 at them! So, I'm thinking of MAYBE having them bleach the roots & hair that was only dyed to match up with the ends that were bleached, before having it dyed to dark brown. But first I'm visiting my beauty supply store to see if I can strip the color out myself (can you strip bleach?) then dye it to dark brown. Wouldn't a GOOD salon be able to get it evenly colored? It makes me SOOOO mad that unless you hand over your wallet they won't do what you ask. Jennifer

Jennifer--Can I make the gentle observation that the staff at this salon was /honest/ with you? A lot of places would have gladly taken your hundred bucks--and then given you hair that didn't match.When I was in your shoes, I paid a woman $150 for a "corrective coloring" and sat in her chair for four hours. My hair was /still/ mismatched when she got done, though she and her co-workers did an Oscar-calibre job of trying to convince me otherwise.A stylist who tells you frankly that he can't make something happen is a stylist to be respected.Ally
