Has this happened to you?
"What I object to is that insipid apology of a hair colour that seems obligatory for a certain kind of thirty- and fortysomething woman. These broads start their gentle descent into middle age good and brunette (even: good and mouse) and then slide limply into a state of mid-blonde with caramel low lights through the course of a decade. They'll pretend it happened to them by accident. They'll pretend they never wanted to be this blonde (for fear of seeming - what, precisely? Blonde by design?). They'll return from their salons saying things like: "Oh no! It's much blonder than I wanted it to be! I told Sean not blonde, not blonde at all ... I did! But look at it!" And then they'll go back for more of the same six weeks later." from here
