Do you think I could pull off this hair color?

[cjeanette]

My ability to PIP is sad so bear with me.

This is me.

[cjeanette]

This is the hair color I am thinking

[cjeanette]

or this

[mrs.spunky]

I think you could pull off Debra Messing's color or Joanna Garcia Swisher's color when she was on that tv show last year... but not a Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane in Spider Man red.

[abramos]

I agree- a deeper red as opposed to a lighter red would work well with you.

Do you have a really good colorist? I think the deeper red would be good, but red is a color I wouldn't DIY. I'd let the colorist custom blend something they think will look best.

[yellowbrkrd]

I think you'd look great with the deeper red color.

Oh, I was going to my stylist. I don't dye my hair from a box ever. I have red undertones that come out no matter what color I try to dye it.

The 2nd one would look really nice.

[HoneySpider]

I think a color like Joanna's would look great on you!

[Deleted]

Yes. I really like joanna's color.

[Deleted]

YES. A dark red would look fantastic with your coloring.

[Deleted]

Yes, but prepare for it to wash out FAST. I had a beautiful deep red on my medium brown hair and even with only washing it 2-3 times a week and once a week using the $$$$ Bumble and bumble red shampoo (which made my hair feel like it was still filthy), the color was all gone in 3-4 weeks.

[ijack]

I think the dark red would look really good on you.

[womet]

I think that Joana's color would look great on you.

[KaraOrNot]

Yes, you could pull that off. I love red hair!

If you did it, let me know and you're welcome to the rest of my red shampoo. I only used it a half dozen times and it's sitting in my closet.

I am probably going to wait until Sept when my hair won't be out in the sun so much. I will let you know. Thanks!!!!

Go for it! I think the Joanna color will look fabulous!

I think either one would look really good. I think the brighter color, but I am already outvoted lol.

That is H's vote and he insists his vote trumps all MM votes. lol

I think I will show all the pictures to my stylist and let her come up with what is best for my hair.

[cjeanette]

Appointment set for next week. So excited!!

Yay!!

[pugz]

ooh yay, so we can see it at the gtg?

[cjeanette]

So my hairdresser told me to try highlights before full color to see what I thought. She did foils on the top layers. In some light you can't see anything and in some lights the top of my head just has odd looking chunks of red. Not sure if I should go back and just dye my whole head or let it grow out.

I hate it when hairdressers don't want to do what you ask. It took me three tries to get the cut I wanted when I went short. I know what I want. If I hate it its my fault and its just hair!

[Deleted]

That is weird she did that. Did you get on the train of seeing Olivia, or do you see someone else.

If you want that shampoo, I'll bring it Sunday.

I don't know who Oliva is.

I do want the shampoo! I can barely see the color, I should try to keep what little there is in!

You guys will have to tell me what you think on Sunday. You might be more honest than my husband.

[Deleted]

Will do.

Olivia is just a hair dresser than a ton of girls from the other board go to.

I just went from highlighted blonde to a reddish brown and did it myself. I made an appointment to get it done at the salon, but then saw I could buy professional hair color at Sally's for $6, and they even carry the same exact brand as my salon. It seemed dumb for me to pay $70 or whatever when I could do it myself for $6.

There is a newbie over on the S&B board who is a hairdresser, and she was soooo helpful in picking my color. Her name is Jolita and I bet she would help you pick the perfect red.

This is my new color and it's exactly what I was looking for.
