I got my hair dyed at a salon over the weekend for the first time in ages. I normally do it myself including bleaching as I'm fairly confident with it after starting to dye it various shades as a teenager. I've been going to the salon for a while but just for cuts. It's not a bad job just not what I was looking for.
I'm having an operation in September and I'm massively nervous plus it can cause hair loss (it also may not) as the body adjusts. So I wanted it done properly and to have a bit of a treat.
But I'm really not happy with the colour. I had my hair a sort of pastle pink, quite yellow in undertone, so it looked a bit peachy before and now it's quite a dark purple pink. We did agree not to bleach again and do a shadow root which I was fine with as excessive bleaching can obviously cause damage. But I feel like I worked quite hard to get it a light shade to then do bright colours with and now it's quite dark.
I'm also massively disappointed and tbh quite upset because I just wanted to feel nice about my hair before my operation and now I feel like I hate it. I know as an adult this is probably dramatic, but I feel like I wanted to have it nice while I had the chance because hair loss is likely.
I'm not sure what I think I'll get out of posting. Probably just sharing my disappointment. Any tips on how I can fade the colour? Although honestly even faded I think it won't go how I want.
Anyone else had dissapointing hairdressing experiences?
