My hair is an orangy, greyish-green color!
Please Help. Yesterday I went to the salon for a medium or champagne BLONDE tint. I went in with a drab dark blonde hair-the color that blonde hair turns with age, I had no previous color on it except for the 2 inches of bleach on the ends from about 3 yrs ago. I explained I absolutely didn't want any orange or red. We decided on a color but when it was washed out it was not even close to what she showed me it would be. The roots were the exact orangy color I didn't want, the middle was a weird orangish-brown color and the ends were dark, but NO BLONDE anywhere. The next day I went back and they put highlights(light weave) with tint in between the foil. They wanted to put a 5c tint to bring me back to my natural base but reluctantly agreed to a 7c(which I explained was still a lot darker than my natural color). After 2 hours of sitting with the highlights and tint(put on after highlights) I ended up with white highlights and a very dark base. She put a toner on to "soften" the white. The result is barely there highlights, the orange roots are toned down but still there, and the rest is a very ugly dark Greyish-Greenish color. I don't want to go back to that salon and I can't afford to go another salon. I have to get rid of the orange on top and the grey-green color base but what will get rid of both? Any advice would be so appreciated!! Thanks a bunch! P.S. I really don't want to strip my hair or do anything very harsh because it's already on the dry side.
