[quote=Anonymous]Okay so my hair is dyed black w/cheap permanent hair color (Revlon) from CVS.

I wanted a Balayage/Ombré w/a caramel brown color.
I went to about 10 (!) salons & the hair stylists there all told me that dyed dark hair could not be lightened.
That it would be impossible to lift such a dark color.

So I gave up and stuck it out w/all dyed black locks.
Then yesterday as I was getting it trimmed I mentioned my plight to the woman cutting my hair.
She told me she could get my hair to lift and could give me the color + look that I desired.
And she was true to her word!

I now have a Balayage/Ombré with black on top (covering grays) and a beautiful caramel color on the bottom.
No ombré demarcation however.
Since the Balayage technique was used - - the color is very well blended!!!

The hairstylist simply applied bleach, w/a brush.
It appeared she was painting the color on and after she rinsed out the bleach, she left an ash toner on for 11 minutes.

I don’t get it.
Is it just most hairdressers just don’t like doing Balayage/ombré because it is a lot of time and effort, or do some really believe that box-colored dark hair cannot lift?[/quote]
