My stylist just called me.

My main red has been discontinued and we've been searching for the next perfect color ever since. He's doing my hair tomorrow and he looked for colors today. My fave is a true red, but they're incredibly difficult to find right now for some reason. Next I go to the orangey reds and lastly, I'll do the violet-ish reds once in a while, but it's not my preference.

In any case, he found a violet based red that is quite close to true red, but he also has this fuschia color boost he's been wanting to try out and called me to convince me to let him do it. He assures me my hair will not be purple or pink, but will kind of have a pink-ish hue in the sunlight or something like that...



I told him I'm game, but I'm a little concerned... It's a bitch having to change my wardrobe and make up around my hair color...



What do you think?

You can always coor over it (eventually) if it's truly horrible...but I think it would be rather beautiful if the right shade

This thread speaks to me.



My hair was died violet, but now it's faded to brown
It went from purplish to an auburn color to brown in about 2.5 weeks.


I think that's a great color.


You should try dirty blond with a streak or two of it.




I'm going to be frequenting this thread mostly.

Did the carpet match the drapes?

He assured me we'd fix it immediately if I hated it.

Because he's one of my oldest friends and I pay him a fraction of his typical costs, I give him some allowances now and again. I do trust him, but... fushia?

It's not something you can special order?

Imago said:

He will never let me be blond again.

I don't know why.

CarrieMpls said:

i would say sounds too ify for me

but if hes your friend and stylist for a long time, then I would trust his jugement

GangstaFam said:

Nope, it's utterly gone.

He did find the exact shade in a demi-permanent, which we're going to try the next few times, but reds fade FAST and one of the things I loved so much about the color was it was still vibrant and gorgeous even as it faded to an orange-y softer color. The demi-permanents fade even faster and I know I won't get the same hues. But we'll see...

CarrieMpls said:

Man, that's sucky. It seems like someone should've stockpiled some in a warehouse somewhere.

This might be a really stupid question, but have you tried Ebay?

GangstaFam said:

No, we haven't. It's an idea, though...

But, even that wouldn't last forever. I'm fine with trying to find something new... it's just an adjustment. lol.

He really is the best stylist in Minneapolis.

CarrieMpls said:

Try it. I bet it's there.

so your hair will be like miss yvonne from pee-wee's playhouse color?

It sounds scary, but I think you should do it and see. And then make him fix it as promised if you look like Strawberry Shortcake.

Pics, of course, will be needed.

hot!

Imago said:

I'd go for it if it doesn't affect your job or anything. Not sure about the fading though.

Anxiety said:

I don't know.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

I always look like strawberry shortcake.

Imago said:

Same thing happened to me. I dyed my dark brown a GREAT shade of purple and it faded to its natural color in less than a month.

Is he using semi-permanent color? How do you think it's going to fade?
It looks like you really trust your hair colorist so I say go for it.

Do it! And then prove you did it

Go for it! You can always fix it if you don't like it.

I think my follicles are being discontinued.

What's so exotic about that? Tangerine fur, aquamarine eyes? Commonplace happenstance, right Ganx?

Fuschia has its place, but I get the impression that you may not be in that place anymore (although I have no doubt you could rock it). If you are looking for a big change, go with a really dark chocolate, a color that looks black in some lights and brown in others.

Otherwise, I'd stick with a shade of red similar to your current color. It suits you very well.

If I ever go away from red, that's exactly the color I'd do.

btw - Hi stax.

Hi.
