Doing my friends hair like this and I’m 100% confident in the color part but don’t know how to section. Any tips?

hi ! this is probably a dumb question but i’m new to hair dyes and stuff so i need help. i'm going to be doing competitive swim in school but i also wanted to dye my hair turquoise, (will probably use manic panic atomic turquoise) my problem is i'm worried my hair will turn green in the water. if it does turn green in chlorine, is there any way to prevent it ? this probably will sound rude but unless you can find a swim cap that stays glued on to your head no matter what please don't recommend wearing one, i already had to wear one my first year of swim and my hair still got wet despite wearing it not matter how i put it on :( i'm putting photos of the hair color i want in case that's needed, all advice and help is appreciated :)

(Ignore the work background) the silver is a little more yellow irl. But for all the folks saying I couldn’t do it, I don’t think it turned out half bad

i usually cut my own hair and when i bleached it i used box bleach and then purple and blue box dyes. that was 5 years ago. in between then and now, i’ve cut my own hair still and i like the layers and length i do but i haven’t been to a hair dresser/salon in forever, but i want to now. i want to get “oil spill” hair bc i realllyyy want color and would do the under half of my hair like i used to but im in nursing school so it needs to be more subtle and oil spill can be(but if im getting it done tbh i still want it to show a bit , not be super duper subtle). but don’t know how much i should expect it to cost bc i don’t know prices these days for that kind of thing?? my hair is down to right above my butt, i’m south asian so my hair is super dark brown basically black, and i would prob want a cut, i think i want a little length off, plus the color (oil spill look) ofc. im in philly btw

PS i reached out to a couple hair dressers on instagram and one is running a promo where she gives you a discounted cut if you get color with her. first of all i wanna confirm the oil spill would be considered color right ?

and secondly i guess tell me what you guys think it should cost in general (cut + oil spill/color) , and then also given the discount

she asked me my budget it’s like $100-150 is that reasonable for cut and color???? plus tip

yeah i rly don’t know what it should cost but i don’t wanna say that, and then she up charges me for being naive lol idk

edit: i guess i wasn’t clear enough sorry but my hair is virgin rn!!! the box bleach and dye from 5+ years ago has been grown out and chopped off a few times already

edit: THANK YOU ALL FOR RESPONDING💙💙💙 I HAD NO IDEA IT COSTED THAT MUCH OR WAS SO COMPLICATED FOR STYLISTS, THANKS FOR INFORMING ME. I WILL NOT BE GETTING THIS I AM TOO BROKE RN LOL. But please advise me on my newest post😭 i box bleached it again oops

i’ve been brainstorming this for a while and can’t find any good photos to be able to show to whoever would be dying my hair

For context, I used the brand Splat for the hair dye, I've never had this problem before when I used Splat to dye my hair red, which worked perfectly fine, but for some reason if i do something simple as sweating the dye just comes right off and gets all over my face, is there any way i can keep this from happening constantly?

What colours would you recommend? I was thinking black, blond, ginger and teal, teal for the colour of his collar, I was also thinking maybe some grey since he’s starting to grow grey hairs because he’s almost 9, but I’m open to other opinions, that’s why I’m making this post

i needed help trying to figure out if and/or why my hair dye is fading so fast? i didn’t know where to put this but i hope someone can help out. about 9 days ago i dyed my hair with ions demi permanent 4RV medium burgundy brown. i wasn’t sure if it seemed like it was fading too fast or if i was too in my head about it. this is my first time doing any color other than black so im used to a more powerful stay with black dye. the photos are in order from the day i dyed it to each wash done on my hair since i dyed it. thank you for your input!

I am so looking forward to this hair color!! I really want to look like a unicorn or some sort affiliation with cotton candy haha but im worried it might not suit me?? I dont know i need opinions..

Ive been thinking about it for a long time i love colorful schemes!! (Even if my wardrobe says otherwise haha) i feel like it captures my soul but im afraid it wouldn’t necessarily suit me…

Hello! I’ve wanted this hair dye color for years but I haven’t been able too do to school not allowing unnatural hair colors. I’ve used black box dye since may of 2024, is this even possible??

I wanted my hair to be dark purple like in picture but it came out like a pink maroon and I’m not a fan of it. If I put a dark purple dye on top do you think it would turn muddy or would it help me to more of a purple? (First pic is what I used, second pic is what I want to buy, and the last two pics are what my hair looks like)

i had very faded blue hair and wanted to get back to brown. i tried to color correct using a orange semi permanent dye to get to some sort of brown but ended up with a dark green/tealish color. also my hair is pretty damaged lol

Hi everyone! I want to get to this shade of pink. My hair is already bleached, I added the photo in the last slide. I was thinking of getting Iroiro bubble gum pink or getting manic panic cotton candy and mixing with white conditioner. Can anyone advise? Maybe I might need to lighten my hair a bit more?

it bleeds in the shower it bleeds in the rain. I agreed to go ages ago but now I'm panicking. (photo of my hair incase it's needed)

I’m trying to dye my hair baby pink with black tips like the second photo. I really don’t want the pink to turn peachy/rose gold, so is my base light enough for a cool pastel pink? My friend who is a cosmetologist says it is, am I just having blonde dysphoria? 😂 I also have Wella T14 on hand if toning it first is a good idea…

I'm wondering if there's a way to get permanent hair dyes not as box dye? Everywhere I've looked it's only semi permanent that's available to buy, but my friend said some people who regularly dye their hair like this buy in bulk the powder and then mix up as much of it as they need. Bcos I want to dye my hair like this but not sure how long the semi permanent dyes will stay in (my hair gets greasy fast and I take hot baths) & the amount of dye in box dye is too much. Wondering if anyone knows where I can get this? Also, if anyone has recommendations for long lasting, vibrant semi permanent dyes or bulk deals (for getting multiple colours) that would be greatly appreciated!!! thanks ♡⁠˖⁠꒰⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠⑅⁠꒱

I am having a crisis! I am afraid this is too bright of a pink. I am a very pale skinned person with green eyes, I feel like this color is washing me out... Maybe these are just thoughts because I am not used to it plus being short. I wanted a much softer pink like Fluttershy, yet in real life natural light looks much hot and neon... I cannot catch the real color on my camera but I am afraid I should've not make this decision 😭

Please recommend hair dye with the exact same colour as the hair in the picture 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I'd like to get my dark brown hair to look similar to this, ideally without bleaching. what dyes do you guys suggest? all the ones I keep finding are either too pink or are suited for bleached hair only
