Do you dye your hair at home or in the hair salon?

I don't have the patience to sit in a chair and have anything done to my hair so I color my hair myself. I don't know about mens hair color but I find the instructions to do mine very easy. I've been doing it so long that I don't even need them any more. I'm glad the results came out good and you are satisfied.

Yeah those instructions can be quite easy to follow. I've never dyed my hair before either. My sister says I should start dying my hair since I'm starting to get some silver, but I like it the way it is....Lori

Im glad to hear the results were good.LOL I have been dying my own hair for years now. Im satisfied with doing it myself. Execept for a couple of times when I got the wrong color.hahaha!!!

I have never trusted those home dye colour packets to be honest, and if you get it wrong your hair looks awful and it takes yonks to wash out, so when I used to colour my hair in my early twenties I always went to a hair salon, I have had my hair highlighted and bleached blond. When I went to college I found that they do hair well the students do the hair supervised by the teachers and the prices were fantastic, they just charge you for the stuff they use on your hair and its so reasonable that I always went back there when I wanted my hair coloured. I dont bother now Im in my late 30s although I am getting a few grey hairs!

Yep.. Something new has to learnt on a trial and error basis. Go friend.. do the coloring duty on your hubby's hair. Even if it doesnot turn to be good, why must we bother?.. hehehe..lol.. ... but make sure to tell him that " You look very smart and so young than ever before"... lol.. .. Only then he will allow you to apply dye for next time.. lol:)

Just kidding.. pal. Have a good day.

I have gotten my hair done at a salon and dyed it at home. If I am doing an overall dye job, I just do it myself. If I want something a bit more complex, like highlights I pay to get them done. I prefer to do my hair at home since it only take about 10 minutes and I can do it on my own free time, even if it is 1am on a Friday night. LOL

I have only dyed my hair three times. The first time was when I was in high school. I really wanted to have my hair turn brown so I bought this box of hair dye from the supermarket. I didn't want to ask help from my mom so I locked myself in the bathroom and did it myself. Bad idea. I put it all over my hair and it turned out really ugly.

The next day, my mom took me out to the salon and that's when I got my first professional hair dye. It is a whole lot better if it were professionals handling your hair. It turned out really great. It was not just an ordinary hair dye anymore. They put some highlights and made it look really good. After that first time, I came back again when I was in college. They pretty much did the same thing.

I remember it was really scary for the girl in the next seat. She was having her hair dyed into this ice queen blonde type of color. You could literally see her hands shaking and she was cringing half of the time and tears were falling down her eyes. Yikes. But her hair did turn out great. Luckily.

I am glad that you are satisfied with the result of your hair dye on your husband. The one time I tried it was a mess. I guess you are better at following instructions.

I always do my own hair. I usually get coupons that save a bit and grab them on sale also so I usually only spend a few dollars on a kit. So the cost is fabulous. A friend of mine goes to the salon and spends $85 every 6 weeks for hers! I usually do it every second month when the grays start coming through. I have to trouble with and it comes out looking good most of the time. I did have a time where is was supposed to be dark brown and end up black but I easily fixed that. I have been doing my own hair since I was about 14. I never really have been "natural" since then. I used to love changing up the colors and being funky, but now it is basically to cover grays. LOL

This is a very good discussion!:) I always go to a salon to do my hair. I would love to try it myself but I am afraid I wouldn't do a good job, so I would rather have someone else do it. I have a hair dresser close to my home who does an excellent job and is very reasonable in her prices so I let her do it.
