Cheap Dye Job

As of 2 years ago, I've been dying my own hair. They say box color is never the way to go, but who are they? I get good results and the color stays for months! I was tired of paying +$65 for some highlights or even $40 for a solid color. It's always the worst when you have a certain color or style in mind and the hairdresser pretends to act like she knows what you want and it turns out the opposite! Crimany! Now how am I suppose to face my friends and coworkers with a messed up looking patchy colored hair do?? Then the stylist tries to fix it with toners and what not and it just makes it worse. Now they try to schedule me to come in a couple days later to redo it, but it's a big hassle to try to squeeze in the time between school, work, and just my regular daily life. So, it just all comes down to why I prefer to do my own hair. Not only is the box color $3, but if I need more color it will only cost me another $3 to get another box. I used to hate when salons would charge like an extra $20 for 3 oz more of dye because I "have a lot of hair." Are you kidding me?

This is very rare- my hair blowdryed out and worn down.
