hair color nightmare. please help!!!!!!!

so i am in desperate need of getting my hair colored but have been putting it off because ive had such horrible experiences.

first i found a salon who gave me a BANGIN' color that i loved...only to find out when i went back for touch ups that she lost the card she had written my color on and redyed my hair a gross color that was way too light!!!!

then i tried another salon cause i was so pissed where i spend more money to get something called goldwell color which is supposed to be ammonia free and won't fade out, and gives 100% grey coverage. this would be awesome except i told her i wanted dark brown and she made it look dark brownish inside the salon, but looked PURPLE in the sunlight.

it was so awful that i went back and they re-did it the same day and burned the hell out of my scalp. my forehead was literally peeling and she dripped dye on the edge of my face. seriously, if i wanted to look like i dyed it at home and forgot to frame my face with vaseline, i would have bought a kit for $9.99 in rite aid!!! the dye was literally on my forehead and ears.

anyway my wedding is getting closer and i need to fix my hair and have it redyed.

does anyone know of a salon who uses goldwell color? i live in queens so im looking for someone in bayside/whitestone/middle village...anywhere around there. id even travel a little into nassau. i think dimitris salon in bayside has it but i cannot find reviews on them.

please help!! i dont wanna have purple hair in my wedding photos.

fyi, for those of you who want permanent color, the goldwell truly doesnt fade out, though i wish it would in this one case!!!

thanks for listening!!

i have an amazing person for you to go to. I had a horrible colorist experience too, I tried out a new person that a friend of mine swears by and has been using for 2 years and my hair ended up being FOUR different colors… part of it was white- all after I told her over and over again that I don’t want to see any blond in my hair. I was so upset and did not even think it would be able to be fixed. I found Patti at Fox & Boy Salon and she worked wonders. She completely fixed my horrible dye job and the color I have now is the best it has ever been. She actually listened to what I wanted and knew what would look good with my completion. I am so happy that I found her and told her I will never let anyone else ever touch my color again.

The number there is 212-965-0369
280 mulberry street ny ny 10012

Patti is amazing!

Im a colorist... I work in Woodbury it might be far for you, we use goldwell color. goldwell color has ammonia btw. Unless ur talking about their semi Perm color which Never has ammonia anyway I'd say make a list of the more upscale salons In ur area ( goldwell color is $$) and call four star and see if they use goldwell. U could call the salon too, I don't think they would lie.

oh...the salon that turned my hair purple told me it was completely permanent. is there any hair color that IS permanent but doesnt have ammonia?
