Glossing gone wrong

Please, advice needed! My hairdresser convinced me to have a glossing treatment and although it doesn't look disastrous it's come out a bit red (I don't mind that too much) but also greenish in places. It's more visible in certain light. My roots are fine. Im trying to grow out highlights which another hairdresser botched by overbleaching, my hair is now too damaged for me to want to continue colouring it. My natural shade is a light brown with some warmth. The idea was to make the bleached parts a bit closer to my natural colour. It looked fine in the salon. I was very concerned about getting Ash or green tones but she reassured me that wouldn't happen as were using a warm tone.
Obviously I regret it now. Id have preferred to just leave it alone. Will it fade since it was used over highlights? What can I do? I'm all for trying tomato ketchup but don't want orange hair everywhere else. I don't want to go back to her as I'm now thinking she doesn't know what she's doing? Will it look better or worse the more I wash it? What about lemon juice? I really don't want to dye my hair anymore and I'm desperate to grow it having just had a lot cut off after the last disaster, and my faith in hairdressers is at an all time low. However any expert advice here would be greatly appreciated. I have obviously already had two or more completely different colours and tones in my hair and it was a bad idea to follow her advice. The only good thing is the couple of inches of roots are in great condition as its virgin hair. Just wondered how this is going to turn out and what I can do if anything to sort out green when I've got slices if red tones as well. There is nothing on the Internet on this dilemma!

I am not sure about what to do about the glossing treatment however you need to go back so she can rectify it. Then change hairdressers.

Don't do anything. Go back and ask them to fix it.
