Violet
Had my hair did at Salon Vim Bugis (recommended by a friend).
The senior stylist told me i don't have many options because my hair is pretty damaged from the previous bleaching (remember purple?) so i can't get it bleached several times this session.
I reminded him twice that i wanted a deep violet, nothing loud. Um, dude wasn't listening. My hair became this gaudy pink!
Also, he suggested violet with more tints of red as it required bleaching once only. Then, get the rest of the hair dye slightly ash, but guess what? He added too much ash to the concoction - i mentioned that the top half of my hair was bleached before - the top half of my hair turned out to be too ash.
As a result, i had 4 colours in my hair. Hazelnut, ash, magenta and coffee brown. Bitch was ready to go ghetto! But nah, i held my cool, expressed my displeasure and he deepened the entire hair with a dark purple.
Turned out to be this. It'll wash out to be a darker shade of the magenta above, a proper violet. The senior stylist stayed till 11pm to get the colours right. I was appeased, but might think twice about patronizing Salon Vim again. See had he listened, i wouldn't be wasting my time there - it took 5 hours. And for $320-ish (colour, highlight, treatment, bleach including a $10 haircut), i could've gotten a much better colours etc. at my usual salon. The senior stylist Melvin was extremely amicable though.
