Hair Advice Quoted £80 to £90 for colouring highlighted hair to brown...?

Question

Hi my hairdresser has quoted me nearly £100 for a cut blow dry and to put a brown colour onto my highlighted hair. My hair is now greyish/gunmetal colour but i have a toner put on with some bleach foils mixed in.. my hair has been like this for several years. My hairdresser has said that there is no pigment in my hair. They will need to dye it red tone before putting a brown on. The seperate costs are massive. I cant affor this amount and am fedup with my fake blonde. Any advie for a DIY? also do you think the quote is expensive.. i mean its a local salon and i dont even live in London!!

thats just ridiculous! I get blow dry cut colour and highlights and mines £60, go to a shop and buy one yourself, easy, cheap

Answer 2

STOP!

Stop putting chemicals on your head.

Try henna (it is made of leaves) and do it at home in the comfort zone of fresh pot of tea and I recommend a toasted tea cake at the readly.

No need to damage your hair or risk a nasty reaction or worse!

Oh and they cost around £3 a packet too.

Answer 5

Hi I think its too expensive, I have bleached my hair till it was almost grey before so it has no pigment at all in it, as I did it more that once in one night, all I did was go to Tesco and get a brown hair dye and dye over it lol, only cost be £6 or less, you might need to get a darker colour that you would normally as you hair is light underneath so dont go for light browns or dark blondes as they wont cover the bleach you have in your hair, I would just go an get a semi permenant hair dye in nice and easy this way it will wash out and you can decided weather you like it, I think your hairdresser is out for just making as much money as she can, it ok if you have that type of money then go ahead but if you havent just do what all normal people so and buy one or even 2 in the shops. It will look the same or even better than when she does it for you.

I dont trust hairdressers they dyed my hair wrong millions of time and charged me for correcting it when it didnt do much good correcting it in the first place lol
