I'm thinking of getting my hair professionally dyed a nice dark red/auburn colour.
I've dyed my hair myself a couple of times, just with 3-5 washes ones, but my hair's really dark brown, almost black in colour, and so I find it makes little difference or goes more a purple colour than red.
So I was thinking of shelling out £30 or so, and going to a good hairdressers like Tony and Guy, and getting it done in semi-permanent. As someone who's only ever gone to the hair-dresses for a trim and a couple of layers, this is all fairly new to me! Do you think it's worth trying semi-permanent myself? I'm just slightly scared it'll go too purple/black and I'll hate it! If I can chat it over with someone, who knows what the colour will come out like on my hair, I'll feel a bit better! Also, do I go in before to have a chat with the hairdresser and choose my colour, or does that just all happen in one session?
Thank you

it would also likely cost you a lot more than £30.
you wouldnt even get a haircut for that at T&G
mine was dark and they lifted it with a kind of bleach wash, then put the colour on.
you can ring most places and go in for a free consultation if you ask for it, so i'd recommend doing that.
