Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

I use the cheap grocery store Clairol Shimmer Lights. I wash my hair with it, and let it sit for a couple minutes, then rinse. I do this about every week or two. They have a conditioner too but I haven't tried it.

You should let your stylist know that you're not 100% happy and she should fix it. Probably add a toner. Purple shampoos are for maintenance, not color correction, you know?

Ditto everything Pooh said. She should add a toner so it isn't yellow on day 2. I'd be disappointed by that.

I use the same product as pooh, the shimmer lights, and it works well for the color maintenance. It is super harsh and drying though so I follow up with a much stronger conditioner and leave it in longer.

It’s a friend that did my hair. She did go to school for it. I do have a lot of red naturally in my hair so I should of expected it to be yellowish.

I’ll see if she can come over and put toner in it this week. I just picked up the shampoo you guys recommended.

Thanks ladies!

Purple shampoo and conditioner is the best! When I had blondey blonde hair I used it. I have used the pureology kind and the Shimmer Lignts.

The Shimmer lights is a great price. I always bought mine at Sally’s Beauty. I typically bought the conditioner rather than the shampoo though, and let it sit on my hair for 3-5 min in the shower.

I used it for the first few days, everyday. Then went every other!

Can’t wait to see pics

If I'm going rose gold, should I switch to using something like that?
