Oh God, that was a terrible experience! I went to Real Hairdressing a week ago to have my hair color done. I thought it had become a bit washed out so I wanted to go a bit darker, while staying a bit lighter than my natural color, which is warm chocolate. The hairdresser showed me what she wanted to do, but I was not sure and said : are you sure it is going to be lighter than my natural hair color? She said yes. So I trusted her. And then, I don't understand what happened. Either she thought than carbon black was a bit lighter than my real hair color or she just took a bit too much time with another client while the color was on my hair and forgot to set the timer. When I got back home, my Tshirt was dirty with spot of black color and I looked like a witch with carbon black hair with hints of blue. I gained 10 years in one hour. Oh that was bad! With my very fair skin, I can't afford to have black hair, it does not look good on me. So I washed my hair every morning and evening with Head and Shoulder to try to remove the color (it is a semi-premanent). After one week, it's less bad. But it is still not good. But at least I don't scare kids anymore. Oh, and I paid 95$ for that (with no blow-dry, because I wanted to go back home as fast as possible). So obviously, I can't recommend that place. read more
