Will the hairdresser be able to do this to my hair?

I have dark brown hair (natural colour, no dye on it) and was hoping that I can get it to this colour in one go at the hairdresser but is that realistic? Pic attached beneath.

Yes. I have my hair dyed a similar colour.

I went from dark brown to bright purple in one go. Takes a lot of bleach though.

They could do it but it will need bleach and then a toner on top. Red is the colour that bleeds the most so it will need a lot of upkeep and maintenance.

I have naturally black hair. My hairdresser did this colour on me with B-RED - no pre bleaching and I've had it this colour for around 9 years now. I have the roots and sides done every 5 weeks (v short hair) but it's definitely achievable

I've had mine that colour in the past and I'm naturally a dark reddish brown. It took a lot of bleach and yes it fades fast even with colour safe shampoo and minimal washing.

Mine faded to a pinkish red which I absolutely hated and I was more than ready for a recolour by 5 weeks.

My hairdresser comes to the house every 3 months and does a full head of foils. She leaves me to wash them out, dry and then apply the purple (I mix 2 purples by Arctic Fox). That stays on for at least 2 hours before being washed off.

I top up the purple every 6 weeks (slightly more often in summer as the sun fades it). I wash it every 3 days and limit the hot styling.

This is from the last time it was done. I get a lot of compliments.
