Baby Poop Brown Hair - Fed up!

Posted By: meowza2 Subject: Baby Poop Brown Hair - Fed up! Date Posted: April 19 2007 at 11:21pm I have been back & forth to a salon to a stylist supposedly an expert in color. I think she's learning in reality...and was passed off as an expert. I have spent $200 in services in the past 6 weeks there.  I asked to come in to have her touch up the roots, but now I look all brassy, tiger-striped and baby-poopish brown (gross).  She dripped dye all over my head and it looked almost black and instead of her touching up the darker areas to fix it, she just did some kind of shampoo wash and lightened it all over, but the dripped areas are now dark brown and the rest is even lighter and uneven and dry.  She even collaborated with others in the salon, so I thought between 3 people, she should be able to get a decent and natural result - but no chance. Obviously, I refuse to go back to her for the various mistakes she's made. She "trimmed" the ends and they're a choppy disaster which I now have to get corrected. Goal is to be a dark blonde with medium blonde highlights. My hair has been deep-conditioned, but I'm not sure if I should color yet or wait a month.  Normally my hair is 50% gray with dark brown. The root regrowth is a pain, so that is why I want to be lighter.  Any ideas are welcomed! Thanks. Note:  Believe it or not - this occurred at an upscale salon. I guess coloring is not really her forte and she should stick to something else or go to a salon where lesser abilities are acceptable. As far as I'm concerned it was fraud for her to claim she was a color expert. Replies: Posted By: Claude Date Posted: April 20 2007 at 7:51am First of all go to a different salon. You will find color experts at more expensive upscale salons and typically not at chain salons like a Regis or Fantastic Sam's. Most of them are just out of beauty school and not master colorists. It's hard to give you an idea what you should do to your hair without actually getting my hands in but it does sound muddy in terms of color. I'd probably strip it with a color remover only because I don't know what the other stylists have already done to it......then tone it to a medium brown color that you can tolerate then throw in some heavy blonde highlights then when that is all done I'd deep condition your hair to restore the moisture balance to prevent the hair from further drying out. You could always do the highlights at a later date too. Good luck with your hair!
