The bottom line on color for hair

Go slowly with full head hair color changes, and certainly get lots of advice and consultation with a professional hair colorist before you start. Never, ever, make this decision by yourself. It will almost always be a mistake. This is the time to call on your best friend for advice and counsel.

Fixing a hair color mistake

No single area of the hair styling business brought me more heartache than to see the horrible results that occurred from attempts to correct hair coloring mistakes. Never, ever, try to fix or adjust hair color by yourself—this is the time for a professional colorist. Even as a hair stylist with over 25 years of experience, I always passed these clients on to a professional hair colorist. I knew that all I would likely do was make matters worse.

The earlier you get the professional hair colorist involved in the correction process, the better chance they will have of getting you back to normal, with little cost or hassle. The more you attempt to correct it on your own, the less likely the hair colorist can help. In this situation, even if the hair colorist can do it, you can bet it will be expensive. It will also cause irreversible damage to your hair.

To find a professional colorist, just call any hair salon and ask for a referral. Believe me, you are not alone. The best hair salons get several of these type calls a month. When its time for the appointment with the professional hair colorist, bring everything you can to the appointment, most importantly the product containers and documentation of the color for hair product you used. It will help the professional hair colorist greatly if they know what chemical brew went into your hair color attempts. Fess up and be honest, even if you are embarrassed. Tell the hair colorist exactly what steps you took (and every product you used in your hair), even if they were really, really dumb.
