Lets Talk About skin Care, Beauty And Health Tips

I wanted to dye my hair a very bold red and I'm naturally brunette. I have tried dying it at home but it's never the color I want. I decided I'd have to go to a salon to get the look I wanted. I made an appointment with a random stylist, and when I got there it was a girl that I had gone to school with. She charged me $140 (without the tip), but I did end up getting the bold firey red I wanted. That lasted about a day. I did exactly as she said, waited 2 days before washing, washed it in cold water, and even bought an expensive shampoo to make the color last. Every time I take a shower, TONS of red dye comes out. It's been a week and a day since I got it colored, and I'm almost back to brunette. What should I say to the salon without coming off as a rude customer? It's hard because I know the girl that did it, so I'm sure she remembers me. Also, what should I ask that they do? I feel like $140 is WAYYY too much money to spend on something that hardly lasted a week, but I know redying it would damage my hair a lot. Any suggestions????

Before I respond, I'd like you to read the following:
Personality & health risks.
There is a strong belief among some people that a personâs hair color can tell you some about their personality.  A new study out of Harvard suggests hair color can also tell you about a personâs health risks
Top doctors say you can tell a lot about a personâs health from their hair color:
-Blondes have a higher risk of melanoma, especially on their scalps, and should always wear a hat in direct sunlight.
-Brunettes are more likely to suffer from hair loss, and can help prevent it by getting enough iron (dark leafy vegetables are high in iron).
-And a Harvard study finds redheads may have a 90% greater chance of developing Parkinsonâs Disease because of a specific gene mutation. Housecall for Health, Iâm Colleen Cappon, FOX News Radio. 12-10-12

MY ANSWER: This is 2013, $140 to get the job done, in Hollywood, they'd pay more than that. Example: "23 years old Rihanna is well known for changing her hairstyle and hair colour on a regular basis and it looks as though all those treatments have finally begun to take their toll on her mane and perhaps her common sense." US Showbiz 2-18-12 Rihanna has reportedly paid $23,500 for an emergency haircut after hers was ruined in a sauna, to fly out hair stylist from L.A. to London..The Province 3-1-12. How long do you think that lasted? Her hair is very short now, just to get her healthy hair back.

Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring.

Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.
Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.

The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Halloweâen party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11

The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. Itâs made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. Itâs well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.
PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time.

The British woman who went into coma after a reaction to hair dye has died after a year. Updated 11-25-12. The woman suffered a heart failure, struggled for breath and became unconsciousness. Her family blamed paraphenylenediamine, a chemical found in hair colour. Her family has now called for paraphenylenediamine to be banned from home dye kits. In 2000, a 38-year-old Indian-origin woman from Birmingham, Narinder Devi, died after an allergic reaction to hair dye.

MY ADVICE: I'd forget about it, let your hair go OMBRE, and go & write a NEGATIVE REVIEW on them, on YELP and make this a lesson learned. I've gone to very little salon visits in my life, because I can dye, perm, style, my own hair better than salons do. My hair is healthier than theirs, they even compliments me when I go there for a 4" trim, saying: "hair that long is never healthy but yours is!", actually, the last time I wanted to get trimmed, I was there almost 2 hours and they still didn't do the job right, but I now have a son who can trim mine in less than 5 mins. PERFECTLY! My mom used to do that, but she went to heave. The hair industry is a trillion dollar business, BECAUSE THEY CAN. They also do not give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss caused by HEAT & CHEMICALS = hair's worst enemies. Back in my younger years, they would have charged less than $40 for a correction you just got, that lasted about 10 months or 28 washings. Today? It's a ripped off, and I respond more with hair loss than 30-40 years ago, mostly from teens.

Where in Central Iowa can I get my hair dyed?

I want to get my hair professionally done. Right now it is about three different colors. Here's the story: I dyed my hair black for a school dance, then I dyed it "blonde" (ended up brown). Then I told a lady at Sally's that I wanted my hair to be a light brown/ dark blonde and she told me to make my hair a dark blonde that I would need to bleach it. So, I tried bleaching it. And it's about three colors right now. A dark brown, my roots are my natural color (a grey/brown/black), and then I have some random blonde streaks. (I'm 16, and my parents are okay with me coloring my hair)
I want my hair to be a dirty blonde-ish color. And I want Mahogany, dark red, auburn low-lights.
I want to go to a salon around Ames, Iowa. I don't want to have to travel too far to get my hair done. I also don't have tons of money, so I would prefer if it would be under $100. Any good suggestions?

On a totally different hand, I am also looking for somewhere I can go to spray tan. I used to tan really well in the summer, but I don't get as tan anymore. I don't want it to look fake, I want it to look natural, and real. It would also only be a back-up plan for if I don't get as tan as I want to.

Thank you so much!

Go to YELP or Craigslist and read reviews or post on their message boards there from your city.

Right now, you've got more hair dye on your head @ 16, than I have in a year! Clerks @ beauty and hair salons are just that, they're not biology or science major, to understand how chemicals reacts in your system.

London, Feb 20, 2013 I've been saying that since 2009.
Hair dyes, which include home hair colouring kits and those used at pricey salons, are linked to deadly cancer-causing chemicals, warn scientists. In 2009 the Mail revealed that women who used hair dyes more than nine times a year had a 60% greater risk of contracting blood cancer.
A year later the European Commission banned 22 hair dyes which put long-term users at risk of bladder cancer. < < < <â¨
