Hair too dark! Help!

I went to the hairdressers today and asked for an all over hair colour, going from a faded blonde back to brown. I selected a colour with the help from the stylist, that was a little warmer than my own original tone and a couple of shades lighter.
Fast forward and hour, the dye is washed off and my hair is almost black. I said that it was far darker than expected, as it's more my own colour which I said I wasn't looking for. The stylist dried it off and said it had come out darker than she expected, stating my natural colour under the bleach had grabbed it.
I'm now left with hair that is almost black and am so unhappy. Has anyone got any tips of how to lift it quickly? I've washed it twice already.

@Twentyoneagainx

Could something like this help?

@beetr00 This looks like a complete colour stripper. I dread to think what colour it would turn into, if I attempted to strip it with something like this. I'll see what else they have on Amazon. It's also got red hues to it. No idea where that's come from! Thank you.
