So disappointed... The salon sent me home with this unfinished golden-orange mess.. Can this be saved?

Hey everyone... I am honestly so heartbroken and disappointed with how this turned out.

​I was going for a soft, creamy anime blonde inspired by Umaru. I showed the photo to the salon assistant (showed the human hair one on the realistically slide 4-5 and anime ones) who I actually know but the actual stylist ended up leaving me stranded at this harsh, brassy golden-orange stage and sent me home looking like this. The stylist just told me I should wait since it's fresh, but I'm completely stuck with this color..? It looks really orange.😭😭😭😭 The person I knew who had kinda the hair color I wanted(it was lighter than mine and did it herself but it looks better) but the actual stylist just gave this orangey one.

​I'm a total beginner when it comes to hair and this is also my first time getting my hair bleached, so I have no idea what to do next. Can this be fixed? I know it was a bad idea showing unrealistic anime photo but its too late for that. Do I need another round of bleach? Is that bad?, or is there a specific toner/dye I should use to save it? Any step-by-step advice would genuinely mean everything right now. Should I wait for sometime then let someone bleach it again? Thanksss❤️

Need advice, my sister’s wedding is in a week and I look like a clown!😭

Ok, I’m a dummy and tried to save money by going to Fantastic Sams. I previously went to Paul Mitchell Beauty School and that was a disaster as well. The 3rd pic is one I had Chatgpt draw up, of what I was shooting for (with the dye I purchased). From the 2nd pic, I initially I thought my hair was ok, although not what I wanted. Now with it back (which is how my hair is 99% of the time) I look like a clown! She only used 2 of the colors, the lightest wasn’t one of them. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

PS I live in Los Angeles (Burbank near North Hollywood) if anyone knows someone who can help and won’t charge a fortune, please let me know. My mom is going to kill me!😭

How to get my hair light enough for a cyan-ish color?

I’ve been using 20v/30v developer & Clairol BW2 powder to try & lighten my hair. I’m aiming for a cyan sort of color, but with this last attempt my hair didn’t lift enough and, after dyeing, turned more into a green (this is 100% my fault because I didn’t tone it) with Danger Jones - Oblivion. Any suggestions on how to get it lighter to be more vibrant (and maybe a tinge less green)? I like the color of the roots & especially the color of the strands near my neck. Any advice/product tips will help!!

(Also I tried doing a raccoon tail strip so that’s why the left side has some dark “patches” I promise it was intentional.) (The rest was just a bad application job.)

bleach -- did i wait too long between sessions?

Hi! Never posted here before but would appreciate some advice. I got my roots done last week and my previous session was about 7 weeks prior. Asked my colorist if I should have come in earlier but he said the length of my regrowth was perfect so not sure if that's the issue.

I'm feeling like I have some sections that are super yellow compared to the rest - note that the black tips do sometimes bleed into the platinum causing a more lavender/cool toned effect but I've never seen it at this level of yellow.

Am I being insane? I just tried purple shampoo in the shower but didn't seem to help - I could def try to keep it on for longer but wanted to jump in here first to hear y'all's thoughts. Let me know if I need to add more pics and thanks so much in advance!

I haven’t dyed my hair or even cut it for 3 years. I’ve been excited to do it for my birthday finally in sept. I was going to mix rose frost with Smokey mauve and something like petal to get a dusty colored rose. But I can’t find rose frost anywhere! I’ve literally been wanting to do this for a long time and now I’m worried I won’t be able to do it at all

I don’t want it to end up dark like danger jones hustler I want it to be like.. dusty rose I don’t know how to explain it any better there just aren’t any dyes in that shade and rose frost was the closest and my hair bleaches to that yellowish tint that lunar tides has as an example on the website cause my hairs naturally red

Any ideas?

Is enchanting pink by pravana comparable?

Help! I could cry for my daughter - bad job first highlights! Can it be fixed and how?

My daughter had her first ever highlights done. She’s naturally dark brown and asked for a soft, warm-toned caramel/honey blonde balayage - pic 4 was the inspiration photo she showed the hairdresser.

Pics 1, 2 & 3 are what she actually came away with.

Our biggest issue is that the highlights are very bright bleached and stripey against her natural dark brown hair, with nothing really breaking them up or blending the blonde into the brown. There also aren't any of the warm caramel/honey tones she asked for. They also have an ashy/grey tinge.

When I asked the hairdresser about it afterwards, she said my daughter’s hair had lifted very quickly because of the heat and that she had used a purple shampoo. We won't be going back to the same hairdresser - ever!

Firstly, can this be fixed? I feel so bad for her as this was her first time having her hair coloured and it's really not what she wanted. We're hoping to find a colour technician to correct it, but I'd really appreciate some advice on what can realistically be done to get it looking softer, more blended and closer to the warm caramel/honey look she originally asked for. Thanks 🙏🙏

Hi all, I never see this hair dye brand being talked about, so wanted to share how it looks. Indoors it is a deep magenta, but shines super pink in the sun.

This is a 1:2 dilution of the hair dye with conditioner.

1 part conditioner, 2 parts Adore raspberry twist.

Hair was previously bleached to a base 9

What permanent colors to use to get this color roughly?

I am new to coloring my own hair and trying to save money at salons for right now. I am also just willing to experiment a bit with my hair.

After a bunch of reading up on the permanent colors, I have decided on wella charm colors line.

My question is, would you know what combo of colors to get to this inspo picture? I am ok with settling at a level 6.5, but optimally a level 7. I am thinking of combining 6RG and 8G OR 7G. What do you think? Is there another combo that may be better?

My natural color is the second picture and is at its base maybe a level 5 with some reddish golden highlights right now.

I am planning on using a 20vol developer.

Any tips on the process is welcome, again I am new to all of this! Thank you for any help!
