I think i got ripped off at the hairdressers. does anyone no if this is true?

I just came home from the hairdressers today and i hate the result of colour! I had golden blonde hair and i wanted platinum white, not with the yellow look. The result is the tiniest bit lighter than what it was. Still disgustingly gold yellow looking! Now is it possible to get it white looking hair with one trip to the hairdresser when its dull goldy blonde?


She told me it would take a fair few times to get the white blonde look. My last hairdresser got me way whiter blonde looking than this but it didnt last long. i am so confused and feel ripped off, would it just be better to buy cheap chemist hair dye to achieve a quicker lighter look? And one more question, can i go straight to the chemist and buy a cheap dye and re do it the same day or will it be more destroyed??I think i got ripped off at the hairdressers. does anyone no if this is true?

it depends on how dark you were befor but if i were you id go bak and tell them what your not happy with . if you want in white blonde they should do an ash toner with a bit of violet to help contrast the gold/yellow dont do it your self you could stuff it.
I think your hairdresser is right but don't buy colour yourself and do it, that'd be a bad idea. Good luck:)
your hairdresser is probably right! When your going blonde your hair is not dyed... it is bleached... which means that it is stripping the coulout from you hair not putting it one so your hair would pretty much turn dry and brittle and snap off if it was done all at once!.... but another point is that it shouldnt be golden/yellowy.... it sounds like they should have used a toner! you can buy this from pretty much anywhere just look for a blonde shampoo i'd say it will make a good diffrence to your colour! =)
i agree with your hairdresser..... going to platinum blonde is a process if u dont wanna totally fry ur hair. its a hard color to get, and a hard color to maintain.
I don't want to give you any bad ideas (huh huh huh) but my girl friends back in school used to simply bleach their hair with hydrogen peroxide. Ended up looking nicely platinum blonde for them.





The result isn't as predictable as numerous treatments at the hairdressers, but it probably won't mess your hair up any more than loads of ammonium will - which is in just about any regular dye.





If you get TOO white by bleaching (is there such a thing) you can always tint it a bit. It'll last as long as it takes your hair to grow out :)
I agree with the hairdresser....





Platinum Blonde is VERY light (#12 on the colour scale, #1 being Black)) and is basically stipping all pigment out of your hair. If she was to attempt doing that in one go, you would have ended up with extremely dry, damaged hair.





I would strong disagree with you buying any do-it-yourself dyes..... If you still have warm colouring in your hair (the gold yellow) and you purchase a platinum blonde which is a cool colour, you could end up with green tinged hair!





I would hold out and keep getting it done professional where at least you know you WILL end up with the result you want even if it takes a few times.
