Hair colour won't stay!!

I bleached my hair at home and it didn't go light enough and the colour just came out very pink when I applied it (not very purple like its meant to!). I went to a salon and they used a cream bleach and then applied a purple (which they said was something they normally add to colour in order to add a tint to it). Didn't look quite how I imagined, the last 6 inches of hair are very red and the rest was more a dark pink but it looked ok. I left it 4 days before washing, used my normal mild shampoo and it all washed out. I went back and they reapplied it, I left it 3 days and it all washed out. I called the hairdresser today and asked for my money back and basically got told it must be my fault its doing that. They did a strand test and it seemed fine. But I'm not using anything that would strip colour from my hair!
Any ideas what I can do? Currently its a pink mess!

I spoke to another hairdresser today and they said it sounded like they put on a pure tone rather than a proper dye, so it was going to come out because its got nothing to set with.
So I washed it again today - I have staw colour hair to my ears and then its a dirty pink at the bottom. So i'm going to buy some manic panic and dye it this weekend as long as I can get my money back. I don't see why I shouldn't considering i've not received the right service!
