I had very dark brown hair and i was craving a change. Usually i do my hair myself but this time i decided to let someone else do the work. WHAT A MISTAKE. a complete waste of money. The hair dresser i got seemed to be in a rush ( maybe because it was a friday) and when i told her how i want my hair she started giving me excuses why she cant dye it red! I realized she had to bleach it out first for the vibrant red i wanted, but that seemed to be too much work for her... so she just put the red over my brown.. it came out horrible. I waited a couple weeks than i went to sally's ( they sell proffesional hair dyes) and did it myself, PROPERLY! Its crazy that she couldnt do her job properly because she wanted to get out of there. i will never go back!
