How common is it for salon people to have clients with orange/yellow hair?

Question

Alright, same old story. I dyed my hair black and grew tired of it.

I wanted my natural medium blonde locks back, so I bought some bleach..twice, actually.

Now my hair is a hideous yellow color with some orange in it too. Lucky for me my hair isn't very damaged; it's just a little dry.

I know I need to go to a salon, and I am tomorrow morning, but I'm going to feel really embarrased going in there with my current haircolor!

Should I be so nervous/scared of going there tomorrow? I almost don't want to go because of what they might think of me..how common is my hair situation?

Answer 1

Actually very common. A lot of people don't realize that you aren't supposed to try to lighten black hair at home, don't worry they won't look down on you or anything.

Answer 2

It's very common. Trying to dye your hair more than a few shades lighter often results in an organge-ish color, so the salon will definitely have seen it before. The good news is that will mean they will know how to fix it. =)

Answer 3

more common than you think . so many people do the exact same thing as you, no worries :)

Answer 4

THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ME! hahaha. I was sooo embarrassed, But it is pretty common, and they get it a lot. Don't be nervous.

Answer 5

This ain't a scene it's a god d**n arms race.

Answer 6

I'm not sure how common it is.  I'm sure many people make the same kind of mistake.  You're not expected to be a professional in hair products/hair care.  That's what the salons are for.

But, what's worse:

Being embarrassed for 5-10 minutes tomorrow morning in front of some hair dressers who are professionals.  The will (if they're any good) react with professionalism and treat the situation.

or

Going out in public and being ridiculed by other people.  

It's your decision.  

Answer 7

its their job, im guessing at least once a day

Answer 8

wear a hat!

Answer 9

pretty common, otherwise there wouldn't be salons...

( people don't read the BOXES at home and even if they do, it's " I read it, it can't happen to me..")

I did it...I'm sure it happens every day and no one thinks anything about it..so just go get it fixed and don't do it again.

Answer 10

It would be very common, sometimes they would be the ones doing that to people's hair xD Don't worry standing next to the guy with orange, pink, purple, green, blue, black, white hair you'll look perfectly normal ;D Hehe kidding, but don't worry you'll look perfectly fine :)  

Answer 11

No worries. Confidence please.? :] Dont worry about it. My aunt was a stylist and when I went to her work I saw people with pink or yellow hair like yours. Its so much more common than oyu think. :]  

Answer 12

Very common.  Don't stress too much.  You are there to get fixed.  It's not like you are getting ready to strut the red carpet with your hair, you know you messed up and are turning yourself over to professionals to fix it.  Wear your hair back in a pony tail or wear a baseball cap and you'll be fine.  Believe me, they've seen it all!

Good luck!
