The hairdresser dyed my hair orange instead of copper, what should I do?

Friends, I went to a different hairdresser for the first time yesterday and I asked for a copper hair color. But when I got home, I realized my hair had turned bright orange. Should I go back to the hairdresser, or is it better to get it fixed somewhere else? Also, does dyeing my hair this often damage it? Right now, both my appearance and my mental state are a mess.

I’ve experienced the same thing. I went to the hairdresser and told them I wanted a dusty blonde, but when I got home, my hair was straight-up gray. I clearly pointed out their mistakes, but the guy denied it instead of apologizing. I think you should go but stand up for your rights.

Definitely go back to the same hairdresser, because they have to fix their mistake. If you go somewhere else, you’ll pay twice. But be clear: say you want exactly copper, show the tone. If you show a photo, it will be more effective.

Dyeing hair frequently can certainly damage it, especially if a lightener was used. But in this case, they can correct it with a lighter process like toning, which doesn’t put too much stress on the hair. Ask them about this before going back; maybe they’ll suggest another solution :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Guys, I called the hairdresser this morning. They said, “We’ll fix it when you come in,” but they seemed a bit reluctant, and honestly, I didn’t trust them. I’m still undecided whether to play it safe somewhere else or take this risk.

It’s kind of the same thing that happened to our girls; it became quite a topic of ridicule at school. If you can’t trust anyone, I think you should find a good hairdresser and just go for it. Decide by checking out reviews online; nobody can say anything.

So, it’s like this: orange and copper tones are close to each other, so they can be confused. If the tone you want hasn’t been clearly defined, that can be normal. Could it also have appeared that way because of the difference in lighting?

When you say correction, are they going to repaint over the same tone again? Because that can be really damaging. Also, has that hairdresser just started working or are they inexperienced? Didn’t you ask that at the beginning?

I think that hairdresser either mixed the dye incorrectly or ran out of materials, and just did something random. Things like this usually happen when there’s a lot of customers or when they’re in a hurry. They won’t tell you the truth, though :grimacing:

But there is also this: how clearly did you explain the color you wanted? Maybe the hairdresser explicitly asked, “Is it this shade or that shade?” and you were unsure? If you go with a very complicated request, the result can turn out like this.
