So even though it's sometimes expensive to get the coloring, foils, etc. done @ a salon, I prefer it because as long as the hairdresser is good & knows what they are doing - you know it will be done right.

Bummer about the gray, I'm fortunate where I'm in may 40's and still none. But my hairdresser is funny, when I go for coloring, etc., she will look for them.
I used to be able to get away with just blonde highlights--to take away from the gray. But now it's just too much to hide. I have to go all brown then highlight. I used the highlight kit with the cap and my arms hurt so bad when I was done. I liked the results, but it was very time consuming. I am going to try the brush on next time.

With my swamp green incident, I thought it was black until I sat in the hairdressers chair and she looked at it up close and told me what color it actually was. I swore that day that I would never try to color my own hair again!
