I have naturally brown/auburn hair.. and awhile ago I got a few hightlights in the front which looked really nice.. when I went to get my whole hair highlighted with lowlights it turned really bad. now I have four different blondes with one looking practically grey and im only 16.. It looks pretty bad. people say I should wait before I dye it since I just got it done but I need to do something right away!!....HELP!!

Try some type of toner to give the grey bits some color...?

hmm, usually when people say their hair looks "grey", they're hair has some ashy tones in it somewhere. Do you remember what tones/colors your stylist used for your hair?
 
Or maybe one of the lighter highlights is mixing with the darker and making it look grey, especially if the difference between the 2 colors is too great. Think of it this way, if someone with jet black hair put in some wide, white blonde streaks, you'd see the difference between the 2 colors. But if the white streaks are very thin, you don't really see the difference, your eye sees the blend of the black and white, which = grey.
 
But these are just theories. Maybe post a photo so we can get a better idea of what's going on.
