What will they do with greenish hair???

Had highlights done in salon, looked good.

I decided it could look better lighter at the front, so attempted home highlighting of fringe. It went a bright apricot shade.

I redyed it ash blonde and applied blue-toned toner to counteract the orangeness.

Now its a deeply unflattering greenish blonde. I am an idiot. Have booked salon appt Monday, but what can they do?

The rest of the hair is untouched and fine, but doesn't match the front Blush

Well that would be a distraction...

They can re bleach and take the colour out then replace it, depending on how light it is. I bleached my hair all over and went platinum blonde but now want to return to a more managable blonde and am having lowlights but in all over tonight. The colour may not 'take' as the bleach has stripped my hair...its pretty much fried, I'm having to wear the turban of shame and just wait patiently until my roots grow out. It sounds like yours isn't anywhere near as unrepairable so I wouldn't worry. If its dry then use a Reconstructor to add protein (or do an egg/olive oil mask) and then condition.

They will be able to lift or neutralise the colour. In the meantime you could try putting a bit of ketchup in it. I'm not joking btw. This is a hairdressers trick to neutralise hair that has gone green from chlorine. The red neutralises the green. Obviously wash it out afterwards.

Yes, second the ketchup, although I'm not sure how well it works on dye over highlights, definately works on chlorine. Would Head and Shoulders work before applying the ketchup? It strips the hair and I know it works on hair dye thats gone too dark.
