A color at my salon is $50-$60! That's with no highlights or lowlights.BelleinBowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737801342110577572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338091526565875599.post-18401994297692600112011-05-18T16:02:48.200-06:002011-05-18T16:02:48.200-06:00I think brown is the safest color to do on your ow...I think brown is the safest color to do on your own, and if it's only refreshing your own color/doing your roots, I would say go for it. I've done it myself.<br />The only time I'd see a pro is for a complete change, or a color correction, or for red. But for a brown, I'd say go for it.Kim Axanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06593104153841117165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338091526565875599.post-81701795161665825512011-05-18T10:32:29.495-06:002011-05-18T10:32:29.495-06:00I won't do mine at home because I swear I can ...I won't do mine at home because I swear I can tell the difference between who does and doesn't. It is flatter looking, and just different. I pay 65.00 for color and trim & style. It is fabulous each and every time. I also think that final step of glaze is worth it. I skipped it before to save a buck and I could tell the difference. I see "pens" on the market now for touch up that look like super-wide sharpie markers. I might try that for scalp grays, but that is as far as I am going at home.Lisa - Fine Sweet Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14310329137796193086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338091526565875599.post-15884064773076730662011-05-18T07:29:36.471-06:002011-05-18T07:29:36.471-06:00Wow, that´s a lot.

My stylist moves to Sitzerland next moth and I was like OMG what will I do without you, and she told me the colors and the brand she uses and the name of the website where I can order it. Ha.She told me to color my hair at home.So I think you (or, we) should try it! Do you know what brand your stylist use? Just get the same color!<br /><br />Btw, I just paid 600 EUR for the whole week in Cannes ;)! You checked their website during the Film Festival and the prices were over the top. No, I wouldn´t pay that much, I want my money where I can see it, like in my closet ;)<br />xoxo Doronowshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344342427867256788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338091526565875599.post-75531648516615675312011-05-17T16:38:45.862-06:002011-05-17T16:38:45.862-06:00I have never and will likely never color my own ha...I have never and will likely never color my own hair. My mom colored and "frosted" and permed her own hair her whole life and I think the results, that were often greenish or orangey or fried, scared me away from DIYing hair color. <br /><br />I just had my color done at a high end salon and paid $96. I think you may be getting ripped off, in my opinion. $175 sounds really, really expensive. <br />Maybe try someone else - and ask if they have INOA by L'Oreal color. It's ammonia free, oil based and won't wash out as quickly. It has left my hair very shiny and healthy looking. I'm very pleased with the results.Adrienne Shubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05826463555838820028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338091526565875599.post-67895833008182976162011-05-17T12:45:01.131-06:002011-05-17T12:45:01.131-06:00I think you should try it!

I personally have never dyed my hair at home because I tried highlighting it once and my head ended up looking like a blond soccer ball - patches of different colors everywhere. And I ditched the cap with the holes and used tinfoil instead! I had to rush to my sister-in-law who fixed it up for me. Thank God because the next day I had to go to work. <br /><br />I'm not sure why it costs so much at salons either...Marie a la Modehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603651168439304224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338091526565875599.post-34457141245389100992011-05-17T10:35:48.045-06:002011-05-17T10:35:48.045-06:00I have been coloring my hair at home for YEARS!!! ...I have been coloring my hair at home for YEARS!!! And my pockets thank me. Well, actually I guess my feet thank me when they get new shoes. The money gets spent either way. But I digress. I will say....you save a lot, but if your hair is really long...it is NOT easy. BUT, if you are really focusing on the roots only, then I say you will be fine and should DO IT!!!!! Give it a try....see what you think. It is hard to really mess up dark brown on dark brown, ya know?! Good luck....follow up so we can see! <br /><br />p.s. I NEVER accept the deep conditioning. Mayo at home can do that! ;-)melifaifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17472835600976543766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338091526565875599.post-11469212025580169132011-05-17T09:12:00.355-06:002011-05-17T09:12:00.355-06:00I used to swear by salon colour, but after 3 bad c...I used to swear by salon colour, but after 3 bad colour IN A ROW, I decided I couldn't possibly do any worse myself.<br />And I've never looked back.<br />The reds definitely aren't the same quality, but I find the browns look every bit as good.<br />And the extra money in your pocket is sweet bonus.fojoyhttp://fojoyisannoyed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338091526565875599.post-89145164590220724552011-05-17T05:45:28.619-06:002011-05-17T05:45:28.619-06:00I dye my own roots 1-3 times before I go back to t...I dye my own roots 1-3 times before I go back to the salon for a professional touch up.

And I have absolutely no complaints (I've done blonde, red, brunette, and black at home) and have never had a bad experience. If you are worried about it then maybe try a non-permanent dye for the first go around and, if you like the result, then try a permanent one the next time. I would also really recommend Loreal dyes (I've tried most of the other brands and always go back to Loreal). Or this: http://www.fekkai.com/categories/haircolor/. The quality on these is awesome I've found.<br /><br />xoxo ~ Courtney<br />http://sartorialsidelines.blogspot.comCourtney Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03713150819439653811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338091526565875599.post-707404149063324462011-05-16T20:39:05.452-06:002011-05-16T20:39:05.452-06:00I have absolutely screwed mine up at home.
