Toner help

I had a full highlight at a new salon last week and shared the inspo pic on the right and as you can see it doesn’t look like that. I’m going back today to get it re-toned. What do I ask for? Originally I asked for bright/icy with brightness around my face. I don’t feel like I got that at all. Thank you!

the first pic is what i want my hair to be, any suggestions? i'm thinking "neon pink" by iroiro and "ex girl" by good dye young, the girl used l'oreal colorista, she didn't say what color but i'm sure i can look it up. a sally beauty worker said i should just put "electric pussycat" by manic panic, but it seems very coral and i don't like that.

that's my hair right now in the next 3 pictures.. i did a mix of head and shoulders dawn dish soap and baking soda and i left it for about 25-30 min on my head and it removed a lot. i conditioned it a lot and my hair doesn't feel dry anymore! the last pic is my hair 9 days ago. i haven’t dyed my hair since april 26 and i'm planning to on june 28 or july 5th for my birthday on july 22nd!

any color removers i can use before i do that? or any other tips? i can bleach the ends and i'm going to bleach my roots. and maybe the front 2 strands to do a lighter pink but my hair is basically blue under this. the front pieces it's coming out pretty green/white and the blue didn't stick to it as much!

does anyone have any suggestions? i'll take them all!

thank you for the help my friends <3

ps if you're asking why i don't just go to the salon, my hair stylist did about 4 purple chunky highlights on the top of my head 2 on left, 2 on right, and it 350$ to bleach and dye them. 400 including tip! it was very expensive but i loved it, it faded in 3 weeks though and i wash my hair in freezing cold water.. the kind that gives you goosebumps!

I can't tell what my hair color is....

I am in the process of getting back to my natural color, I stupidly used a box demi permanent hair color from Walmart a couple years ago and have been slowly working on going back to my natural color...mind you I have done a lot of stuff to my hair in my lifetime so I cannot for the life of me understand why this time it seems so difficult! I bleached my hair a few times now so I cannot bleach again for a while. I got to a very orange situation, with some very light roots because I put the bleach on my roots sooner than I should have....and then I put Wella demi permanent 7a medium cool blonde on it, because I'm afraid of going too dark again and then having to bleach it out if it won't fade...it felt a little too red/golden for me still, so I put the Wella t14 with a volume 10 developer on it and I'm still unsure if it's a "natural" looking color. I feel like my camera on my phone just keeps correcting it, too so I'm not getting a good picture of the true color. Obviously the t14 didn't do a lot, I didn't think it would but I was hoping it'd make it a bit ashier than that! I know it needs to be bleached lighter to really get rid of the orange undertones but I also know my hair will not handle another bleaching for a while. I'm thinking about maybe trying the dark ash blonde in a demi permanent... but still unsure. Any advice???

So the first image was the color my hair was the last time I left my stylist. I went back again after a long while for a trim and to tone my hair cause I had brassiness. I don’t know what happened but man this is not what I wanted. Girl went wild with the scissors. Ended up leaving with a long bob somehow nothing I can do about that really that’s fine. When it comes to the toning though, she said for some reason, my yellow wasn’t lifting out, and she couldn’t figure out why. She decided to add some silver in. Now my hair looks yellow still, and slightly green and it’s so dull and unappealing. I want my icy tone back asap. What do I do?! Please help.

Best way to fix without causing breakage

Last year I had halo bleached, my plan was to go a little lighter and tone it to silver to match Grey's all over rest of my head. Fast forward to 2 days ago, I thought I could touch up roots with platinum blond box mix. I think I just got scared and washed it out too soon. Plus, I didn't know and put on roots too early as well. So, roots against head and tips are white/ cool platinum, middle is brassy/orange. I used purple shampoo left in long time too it just made cool tones cooler didnt help with brassy notes. Can I do one of these things to fix it?

Do I A: do bleach bath with 20 developer.. if so joe long doni leave on without destroying my hair? Then tone later? B: can in do a titanium silver semi permanent over it to make it have scaled look with at least one tone? Or will orange parts then green?? I do not want that.

Follow up questions... if i bleach can I do now or do I need to wait since it was just done? And same with toner how long after bleaching

Any better suggestions let me know, I don't know anything... obviously. I didnt know about hot roots... now I do.

TLDR; I am novice and screwed up root ( 1-2" long) touch up. How can I remedy?

Hello! I recently got foils and a glaze. I really like the addition of the blonde color but the transition near my root is a bit copper and I would really like to fix it in those certain spots. Im leaving for a trip in a couple of days. Any suggestions on how I can improve this at home? Shampoo? Thanks in advance!

Lift resistant hair and I used box color. Have done one toner application. What next?

Heelllloooooo! I’m a dummy and I screwed up my hair. I know my hair is lift resistant, but for some unknown reason, I saw a boxed balayage kit on sale and for some reason I bought it and an even more unknown reason I used it. And as I should’ve expected, the bleach did not lift. I used to bleach part of my hair for years, and I know that I have to use 40 volume and let it sit for like 30 or 40 minutes. and I know that that lift in the hair color kit was not 40 volume and I used it anyway. And to nobody surprise it came out brassy orange. See before pictures below.

Now I did a ton of research, including combing Reddit, and then went to Sally beauty supply, and I got a bottle of T 14 toner and 10 volume developer. I used the entire 2 ounce bottle of toner and I left it on for 40 minutes. The ends lifted, the top half of my head did not. And I’m fairly certain it’s because the ends were more porous because they’re older and dryer. And i’m guessing more product permeated?

I have a second bottle of the toner, T 14, do I use that again? Or do I go and get a different toner? Any help would be great! Thank you so much for anybody who gives any advice I really appreciate it

Hiiii guys! I’m looking to dye my hair like the girl in the picture but my hair stylist said she’s had problems with color fading in the past. She can’t seem to find a brand that has colors that will stay vivid more then a few weeks. Do you guys have any suggestions??

I had used ruby red adore and this random pure red semi permanent dyes which faded to a red pink orange color and for the brown/red/black stripe in the middle I had used this "wine red permanent hair color shampoo" which turned purple but faded to brownish color what color would look good on me without bleach and with the stripe in the middle(if I do green would it turn a muddy color?)

Dyed black/purple hair to purple

I dyed my hair a couple times. I got it to a medium brown then applied purple on top in hopes of getting a deep purple color which turned it black. Then last night I did a bleach bath which did not lift my hair at all besides the roots. I put in ion plum purple 4vv. I cannot achieve this color. Any ideas of what I should do? Last pictures are my hair. My hair has split ends and a bit damaged.
