I naturally have dark brown hair and currently platinum boknd hair. First of all when you bleach your hair you damage it quite a bit. My hair breaks very easy and I have to be very careful with it. My hair girl started giving me highlights before I went all the way blond. When she bleached it she had to use bleach, then a toner afterwards. That will take away the yellow color. I pay 90 for mine, so I am not sure what your salon will charge. It also took me a few times to get to the shade that I wanted.Hair stylists or girls who bleach their hair?
Does your ';Reddish Brown ,, Thick hair have any color on it currently??? If so what color is on it????? If it doesn't have color on it, then go in there with at least $125.00 to about $150.00,,,,,and if they use a good quality color of ';Golden Blonde';.... and a 20 Vol H2O2. mixture...and small parting, without an ash base.... (ash is green%26lt;%26gt;%26lt; and with your red, if they add ash you won't see much of a change) Red is the dominant color.....but if they use ';Golden Blonde';.... and bring it up 2 levels, you'll see a nice hint of golden highlites,,,,mixed in with your red hair,,,,and it'll be very natural, without a huge change,,,just a suttle hint of color is always a good way to go when doing introductory color. (H2O2= Hydrogen Peroxide).
When doing simple changes or suttle changes always ask to look at their style books, on color. Ask if they use the ';So Color'; Line.... Or another creme color line equally good, or if they use liquid colors....... The only difference is in the prep time, and in the fadeing off time, and time spent in the chair.
And to an up-scale salon, time is money,,,,so they'll probably use a liquid color...... but my opinion is in using a creme color and a creme developer, yeah it takes more time to apply and mix up, but you actually get a better color and one that is more true color ..... Bleeching is not always needed,,,,,unless there is a lot of color on the hair before they start, and if you just want bleeched hair... again tho, red hair will take time, ,, as its a very dominent color. Again, ask lots and lots of questions, ask if they do computer analysis, which by the way is a great service.....it helps to determine what color would not only look good on us, but what cut would look good as well, then ask to look at their color books.......and look around your salon.... Do they have a lot of product on their shelves??? Look for things like ';Moisture Shampoo's'; or ';Silk Drops';, Or Shampoo's and Conditioners for ';Color Treated Hair';.......Ask your stylist what would work best for your thick hair...... I know ';Paul Mitchell'; makes a good shampoo and conditioner, for color treated hair....and there are others.... Redken has some too. Don't be afraid to ask questions..... its your hair after all,,,,,and remember there are not dumb questions.... k? AND Good Luck....
WOW !! $30.00 for a haircut eh?? ANd to think I'm still doing them for 10.00..... :( :( I still cut hair once in a while.....
get a nice big bob
I would check with the salons in your area before you actually make the appointment. Go in and ask them what they would do and how much they charge for it. You can comparison shop and decide afterwards where you want to go.
Usually, to lighten hair as dark as yours, stylists will give you a weave- highlighting sections evenly thorough-out your hair with one or more colors alternately with your natural hair color. This will give you a more natural all-over blonde shade, with less noticeable roots and grow out. Expect to pay around $100 for this, and don't forget the tip!
