What colour is my new hair?

I asked for copper/auburn and they used intense copper blonde mixed with something else.

To me, this looks purple/auburn? I struggle a bit with colours but definitely not what I expected.

Burgundy? X

On my phone it looks copper and absolutely stunning!
Definitely no purple.

Cloverglens · 12/12/2020 16:11

Don't see purple, I would say a dark auburn.

It's lovely though, very healthy looking 🙂

JimandPam · 12/12/2020 16:11

Oh wow, I'm so jealous! Absolutely auburn, spot on!

My hairdressers never get mine right 😞

Wilma55 · 12/12/2020 16:12

Love it whatever it's called!

Crappyfridays7 · 12/12/2020 16:12

Reddy/auburn but it’s beautiful op I really like it. However if you’re not convinced go back, I’ve gone back and the hair dresser thanked me for being brave enough to say I wasn’t keen (it wasn’t what I’d asked for at the front) I still felt bad but they sorted what I didn’t like and I’m happy with the service and care I received.

Cuddling57 · 12/12/2020 16:13

I can't see purple either.
It looks fantastic!

ApolloandDaphne · 12/12/2020 16:13

Looks copper/auburn to me. It is lovely.

Happytentoes · 12/12/2020 16:14

Deep Garnet - at least that’s the colour on the emergency Olio box I keep in case my hairdresser has to close again.
Suits you 👍🏻

ohidoliketobe · 12/12/2020 16:14

It's a dark auburn. It's gorgeous. Was it a drastic colour change? It can take a bit of time for you to get used to it, and depending on the colour you had previously your hairdresser may not have been able to get it as light as you were hoping this first time. If you feel you'd prefer it to be a bit lighter you can ask for that next time or ask to add a few more golden copper baby lights around your face perhaps?
Making me want to go red again

HopeYourHighHorseBucks · 12/12/2020 16:14

I cant see anh purple. Would say an Auburn colour. It looks great!

Lizzie523 · 12/12/2020 16:22

Oh wow it looks very purple/dark auburn to me! A few years ago I discovered I see green and red shades a bit differently to most people. I am now wondering if the same applies to purple!

@ohidoliketobe I suppose so, I was more strawberry blonde/copper this morning. Imo it doesnt look quite like was on the chart so I suppose it was mixed with something.

I do like it, just not exactly what I had in mind. It feels so healthy now I have got rid of the blonde highlights!

Looks red.

SendHelp30 · 12/12/2020 16:24

Looks red to me, can’t see any purple.
It suits you.

TheGirlWhoLived · 12/12/2020 16:24

It almost definitely will fade to a lighter colour within 2 weeks, so by Xmas it will be a light auburn colour with lovely coppery lowlights, gorgeous condition though

Honeyroar · 12/12/2020 16:27

It’s a dark copper/auburn. Looks lovely.

Lizzie523 · 12/12/2020 16:31

@TheGirlWhoLived I can't remember the last time my hair was this beautifully shiny! This is the first time I went to this new hairdresser. She was half the price of my last one and much better. A small family run salon. I will certainly let return.

I hope it will fade a bit by xmas. I do still see purple but oh well! Glad it looks nice ha ha

It is what I’d describe as copper auburn.

BusterGonad · 12/12/2020 16:35

Red, copper, auburn. I absolutely love it. I wish it was my hair!

DryRoastPeanut · 12/12/2020 16:38

I’d call that auburn. It looks gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.

Purplecatshopaholic · 12/12/2020 16:39

That’s a dark auburn. No purple at all. And totally stunning btw.

Aliferous · 12/12/2020 16:40

Dark auburn, it looks lovely

Girlyracer · 12/12/2020 16:45

Red/copper. No purple. Might loom different outdoors? Looks lovely and shiney OP.

MuckyPlucky · 12/12/2020 16:48

There’s deffo no copper in there! It’s purplish-auburn. Black cherry type colour. It’s really nice, but if I’d asked for copper I’d not feel I’d got what I’d asked for. Copper is warm-toned whereas this is definitely more cool-toned.

tara66 · 12/12/2020 17:02

Lovely! I can see it may have golden blond high lights.
