I would not recommend at all. Decided to treat myself with a haircut and colour. Got there and was told the hairdresser was running late from her current appointment. It didn't turn out to be too bad (10 mins). Asked what I wanted and we decided on a just a lighter tint (natural colour is black), which is more a light/mid brown. Haircut was fine and got what I asked for.

Left the salon fairly happy with my new cut and colour..... Checked out the hair a bit later and found there were quite a few grey hairs showing!!! Asked a couple of friends for their opinions and decided to go back to the salon to enquire. The hairdresser told me that not all greys would be able to be covered. Apparently I should not expect to be able for them to be all covered - it can be difficult to cover them depending on the hair follicles (some can be harder/almost impossible for the dye to penetrate). I was told I would have to go darker to be able to cover them. Considering my natural colour is black.....it all sounds a bit ridiculous.

I like the colour and the cut, but so disappointed with the overall result. I went for the experience of having it professionally done - I could have easily just gone for a cut (so much cheaper), and paid $15 on a box of hair dye to do at home which guarantees grey coverage!!

Approximate cost: $150
