Please help me. Hair dye disaster.

Please can anyone give me some advice. I’ve been to the hairdresser today and had some colour put in, and it’s a nightmare. It was supposed to be a subtle bit of strawberry blonde warmth, but it is absolutely orange. Like Annie Lennox in the 80s. Have been to that salon before but not that stylist. It clearly wasn’t supposed to look like this, I could tell the hairdresser was horrified as well. He’s fitting me back in at the end of the day to try and correct it, but realistically what can he do? Will it look worse?

What should I ask him to do? Try and get it blonder, or darker? Please, any advice, especially from hairdressers would be really appreciated.

Thanks everyone, especially JonjoMonjo21. I think he has now done what you suggested in your post.

It’s much darker than I originally wanted but it does look nice now so I guess I’ll just be a brunette for a while!

I'm currently living with very orange hair. Dark hair dye over bronde. And it turned into a very orange hue with thick porous black bits in between. And very ashy blonde on the highlighty bits that didn't take the colour.

Hairdresser says its now so damaged she'll have to cut it off. Its my hair and its only jaw length - no way am I getting a pixie cut because of her mistake!

Lots of blue shampoo (that doesn't really work) and hats. I've booked elsewhere.

All this time she was going on about how blondes were more attractive than brunettes and she fecks up my hair.

Hairdressers need to be better educated. Too many hair fuck ups going on in this country. Its too common.

I’m so sorry about this, it’s miserable. Hopefully the other place will be able to sort it out for you. Sending solidarity and hugs.

@Orangeveryorange so glad it is sorted. when things go wrong with blonde and orange tones it’s always best to just put a darker base through. Not many people will want to live with the orange
