The pressure of being a hairapist

My new job at Sally's has officially up-ed my status to hairapist...although I know nothing about hair...but whatever. I got a fancy name tag and a ugly red shmock, I'm apart of the crew now.

Well, just to prove my hair dumbness, I bought a box of water activated hair dye. Before my hair was was two different colors and not looking so good. I felt with my new status I needed to improve my hair and go back to my natural color which is brown black. WELL, the woman, my co-worker, who rung me up failed to mention that gloves did not come with the box of hair dye. I dyed my hair anyway....BARE hands, and now my hands are ORANGE. I've scrubbed and washed all day...still ORANGE.

Eh, working in a beauty store is not as easy as it looks. My hair looks somewhat alright now, at least one color...but now my hands look horrible and who knows how long it will take to come out.

Blah to beauty!! I rather be my lazy non caring self, but you know how it goes, vanity.

orange hands

LOL

Oh I'm sorry about the hands. Bet you're going to have some explaining to do at work

Being an ex-beautician, about the only thing that will get that TINT off is putting your hands in a mixture of Clorox and water. Make sure you have some good hand cream to slather your hands with afterward, though!

One lesson learned!

lol i tried to dye my hair with no gloves once....

BLUE HANDS BEAT THAT!

weirdly enough the dye was black. browny black.


mind u when i dyed my friend toms hair (with gloves this time) it was purple in the bath....

Hairapist... is that a real word for thier position for you? Congrats!!!

P.S. I dyed my hair once... with wash-out dye... except I slept with it in my hair... and well lets just say it didn't wash out so well!

P.S. the color of the dye was green...

i want to dye my hair but my mom says that "as long as your under my roof.. my rules blah blah blah" she thinks 16 year olds dont need to do that

Of course they do! get it out of your system... honestly hair color is not as bad as other things you could get yourself into!

My hands, are still ORANGE..yes.

I went to both work and class today with very orange.

When I went to work this morning I bought this dye stripper for the skin and scrubbed away with high hopes. Well...gosh dang it, it didn't work.

I had some girl tell me to soak in acetone, but I'm definitely trying bleach and water first (Sept), mostly because it's what I have now in the house and I'm willing to try anything.

I decided that my new "hairpist" status isn't me, I'm more of an eyebrowist..haha, or a browapist...yes, sounds better. I take pride in my eye brows compared to my hair and more people come to me asking me how I did my eye brows then any other part of me so far...haha

Thanks for the advice.
