Hair Help?!?

Question

Went to the salon & asked for dark blonde hair (my highlights were starting to wash me out). Figured some extra low lights & a few less highlights would do it. First picture was shown to stylist for a color reference, the 2nd is my hair after foiling & toning at the salon & I then  washed it four times at home over a few days. Tried apple cider vinegar, dawn soap, baking soda, vitamin C powder, & head n shoulders. It's still dark brown. When I expressed my concern to the stylist, was told we can do highlights next month 🤷🏼‍♀️ what??? What can I do or say to get this problem fixed? It looks bad ...
Update:

New stylist, new salon, & much better hair!!!

Answer

I would call and take it up with the owner or manager, I think it’s really pretty but it’s so different than the referenced picture so I personally would be super upset as well and would want it fixed

Answer

You need to be careful with what shampoo and conditioner you use, head and shoulders strip colour out because of how strong it is. Also I went to a hair dresser last year and asked for the a lighter blonde paid over 500.00 Australian dollars for it and she didnt even give me the blonde i wanted she went with what she thought would suite me better without my permission and then i found out it wasnt even permanent it was semi permanent and washed out in a few washes! I reported her and put a hugely bad review and others agreed to my review and she got fired for not giving clients what they wanted and also charging them for permanent colours when they clearly werent. Just be careful and sus out the hair dressers before you go/trust them!

Answer

Take it up with the owner or manager, not the stylist. Honestly, people never like to admit they’re wrong or have done something wrong, especially in their line of work where they’re expected to do things near perfect. I’ve known a few stylists who hardly ever went by what the person wanted and instead went with what THEY thought would look best. Maybe she just thought that dark hair would look good on you. Or maybe she mixed the color wrong on accident. Or maybe she just doesn’t care about her clients or job.
Anyway, I’m sure she said next month because she probably doesn’t want to deal with it, maybe she’s hope that you’ll forget or not come back. Most stylists that I know would have fixed it in a heartbeat or at least within the week if they’re more busy. But a month? That’s unacceptable. And honestly you shouldn’t have to pay to have it redone since she messed up so bad. 
Call the manager or owner and explain what happened. Hopefully they can get it sorted out and you shouldn’t have to pay twice for something that should have just taken one visit. Good luck!

Answer

Glad you got what you wanted in the end but I do see it as a missed opportunity for you to learn how to manage confronting situations like these and get the satisfaction of achieving the results you want. The manager at the salon who made the mistakes should have been made aware and you could’ve saved yourself the money of getting it corrected too.

Answer

It looks like maybe they messed up and just threw a cover up color on at the bowl. That’s red not blonde. Blonde toners are never red. I’d see a different stylist. At a different salon. Especially since she didn’t acknowledge your concern.

Answer

So what did they do during the appointment? It’s hard to tell since there’s no reference of before the treatment.
