Help! Hairdresser turned my hair orange!

Had an appt yesterday for a 'back to natural' colouring session.

Have been home-dying my hair for a couple if years and it ended up very dark, almost black and I have some grey so decided that going lighter was the way forward. I knew not to attempt it myself so decided to splash out and get the job done properly at quite an upmarket salon.

Spent 5 and a quarter hours in there yesterday morning and, long story short, it's ended up ginger. Also she cut it totally different to how I asked for it to be cut and I now look like I'm wearing a basin.

I almost ran out of the salon I was so upset, even though I know I should've complained, although I managed to pay the £135 bill first unfortunately!

I drove straight to my local salon and spoke with a lovely girl who has promised she can put it right for me on Friday. I was in such a state and so desperate that I didn't really listen properly to what she was saying although I know she is talking about 'painting around it' with a darkish blonde and then adding highlights. She also tested some strands of hair just to check it will take ok.

What I really want to Do though is go back to dark brown. Is this possible? I'm popping in to see her on Tues anyway so can ask her then but thought someone here might know in meantime as I'm still so upset - I was awake at 5am this morning just crying about how awful it looks.

I'm also scared of trying anything different incase I hate that too. I suit brown, I know it looks good on me. I think I could accept the cut itself too if I was happier about the colour. At least I know it will grow! Trying to laugh about it but honestly, I have never been so upset about a bloody haircut in my life. My confidence is on the floor already without this, I don't even want to see anyone I know Hmm

Hi,
I had highlights done yesterday by mobile hairdresser,I have previously dyed my hair about 10 weeks ago,I'm quite dark,anyway it didn't seem the bleach was on very long,the highlights are orange and awful,I'm really upset,I contacted her to say so and she said it's because I'd previously coloured my hair and to use touch of silver shampoo,I did,it made no difference,I told her and she insists that it is due to my previous colour,I said before start no orange.
She said that it will have to build up over time and she can put different tones in,I'm not sure as I've had highlights before and they were gorgeous no orange no brass Ines and no need for touch of silver shampoo,help
I don't want to go out with orange uneven highlights,what can I do?please
