Why does my hair always go a coppery brown?

Hi,
Looking for some advice.
Every time I ask my hairdresser to dye my hair brown no matter what colour she shows me on the colour chart it always goes the same coppery brown. My hair before the dye is always highlighted blonde is this what’s causing the coppery tone?
I’d love an ashy brown colour, but this always happens. I then give up with the brown as it fades so fast (one of the school mums actually asked me if I’d had my hair coloured again, it had faded so much)and go back to blonde highlights. Then repeat....
my little girl even said to me out in the garden the other day oh mummy your hair looks orange ☹️
Can anyone give me advice on what is causing this orangey tint?
I know I probably need to change hairdressers.....
Thanks!

Try Pureology Best Blonde purple conditioner

It's marketed for blonde but it it also good for coppery brunette.

This happens with my hair as well and I’m naturally very ash brown, and I really mean ash almost a grey tone to it, so I don’t believe it’s necessarily because of natural red tones in people hair every time. I’ve never had blonde highlights so don’t have experience of this, I have tried the blue shampoo though and this didn’t work for me. I needed an ash or cool toned semi permanent. I think I would change hairdresser if I were you and ask for the salons colour specialist
