I have a hair color question and can not find my answer anywhere I look on the web. I also am chicken to ask my beautition in fear that I'll hurt her feelings, not to mention a $70.00 bill is not what I need right now.

My question....

Can I color with color from Sally's Beauty Supply over Salon color without my hair all breaking off and falling out?

I'm not a cosmetologist by any means, LOL, but I have used it before and your hair will be fine. The only problem is getting the color right. I have never been able to go blonde out of a box without it being to brassy, but brown usually works out...Good luck!!

Did you just get your hair done? If so, be honest with her and call! If you are not happy tell her because $70 is not cheap...She will fix it.
 
I asked my daughter, Brandy who is a cosmotoligist and she said that she wouldn't want to do it because of the colors being differant then a beauty shops. But she didn't think you hair would fall out but didn't think the color would come out looking very good. Hope that helps

No it was before Christmas. So it has been at least a month now I would think. It has faded lots.

I would call your hair stylist and tell her you were not happy this time around and want it redone. I have done this before and my hair stylist wasn't not offended and didn't charge me for fixing it. When it comes to that amount of money, you deserve to be happy. Even if it takes a second time around. Just my 2 cents!
 
Icky perm questionsince you all seem more qualified then I on this subject...:p , how safe is it to straighten your hair from a perm? I got this perm in May-June of 06 and its like a Rats nest!! I hate it and I just want it gone, but refuse to cut off my hair because its taken me a year to grow it out. How do I do this without a ton of damage??? Help me too...lol
 
I am a cosmetologist and whatever you do, don't straighten your hair. If you already have perm and color on there, you are just asking for trouble. I would also not do your color yourself as for a touch up, you should do the roots first and then the last 15 minutes pull it through to the rest of the hair. This is very hard to do on your own hair. Most people (me included when I do my own) put it all over their head at once and over time you will get an over processed mess. When you mix perm and color, sometimes you do end up with over processing which can make it look like a rat's nest. My advice is to get a good deep conditioning shampoo and conditioner. My recomendation is Redken all soft shampoo and conditioner for everyday and then once or twice a week Redken all soft masque. This will cost you some money but it is better than having to cut it off which is where you are headed if you don't start hydrating your hair.
Now, the color at Sally's is the same that you can get in the beauty supply but they are the low end. The formulas are very different for each company so unless you know what brand and color your stylist uses, I would not recommend doing it yourself. Whatever you do, don't use any color that you can buy at Wal-Mart or Target with a perm. The metallics that are in those colors can make your hair turn weird colors or can cause major damage with permed hair.
Hope this didn't scare you too much and helps you make your decision.
 
I wish I had hair to color. :(
 
Try using a color rinse instead of a permanent color

yeah KG, just try rinsing instead! hehe.
 
I think I'm going to try dry cleaning because every time I rinse, more dead soldiers wash away.

What should I do if the color does not turn out as expected?

If the color does not turn out as expected, you can try a color remover or a clarifying shampoo to strip some of the color. However, be cautious as these methods can also damage your hair. If you're unsure, consulting a professional stylist is recommended.
