How did, 'I'd like some copper lowlights, please,' turn into, 'Give me dramatic blood red. And a bitch streak.'?
Two lessons from this story:
1) Do not go to the hairdressers on Children In Need day when everyone's in fancy dress and very excited.
2) Don't try anything new before a special event. When will I learn my lesson? Sigh.

Anyway, a slightly stronger hue than usual will simply ensure you look the cool, confident force to be reckoned with you really are for that all-important SE.
Rather than go back and complain I went to Boots and bought something to strip that colour out. It was so good and easy that I wondered whether to avoid hairdressers in the future. Decided on balance they were a necessary evil.
(I bet it looks as effortlessly chic and as lovely as ever though!)
Mags, well, it's been so grey it's the only way I can signal to you across the hills (and thank you - too kind m'dear).
Annie, mental note to self not even to think the word 'blue' when I'm at the hairdressers - bet it looks great on your son 'though.
Let's have a pic.
Pondside, good plan to ask how the hairdresser is first before deciding whether or not to proceed. Will never book an appointment on Children in Need day again!
Of course, we don't have that Children in Need fundraising day over here.
Bet that your hair is not as shocking as it seems to you.
xo
Haven't ever had my hair coloured 'properly' I always did it myself and haven't done so for years now, but cuts AGGGGGHHHH!!
Would rather go to the dentist!

Helen, no, we won't go into the bitch streak, but I think my only option is, indeed, to own that hair!
SBS, eeek! Didn't think of marmalade shreds, that could have been me too!
Anyway, if Tom says, it looks great, I believe him:-)
But if it is as you say you will need a whole new wardrobe.
Still I sympathise - I have always found that hairdressers are really just an expensive version of trick or treating and its usually the former.
I cut and colour my own hair these days. It's a lot cheaper to mess it up myself.
Sheepish, well it's fine... in the dark.
Fennie, it is that element of surprise that makes it so exciting.
Liane, trouble is I'd hate to hurt their feelings by marching back - too much of a coward too. I'll just keep washing it!
Chris, I've had some disasters I can tell you and haven't been to a hairdressing 'salon' for about three years since I found a very talented and restrained (thank goodness) lady who comes to the house and gives me a trim every six weeks and that's it. Like others before I would rather go to the dentist!
I'm sure its not as bright as you think and may even look quite good really ...

Kitty... have now washed it six times and I think, only think, mind you, that it may have calmed down a tad.
so very many congrats again, young Chris.

Pat and BT... it's beginning to fade at last!
Milla, promise to tell asap.
Helen, I think it's safe for all of you now - kept a low profile for fear of blinding everyone with the red glow.
Tam, stunned them into submission,eh?! Thanks for the congrats.
Annie, thanks - but it's very encouraging that the NRs are still showing that there's hope out there. Here's to many more!
And I should also make it clear that my hairdresser is the best I've ever had and is brilliant at cutting. The very few times when I've come away a bit stunned, have been when, like now, I've tried something 'a bit different'! Note, stick with what you know!
I presume it works for colouring too.
