I'm working with a barbershop where I can film my haircut. We've settled on shooting (and haircutting!) on April 22nd

Haircut

Kat,

A couple of thoughts. It is probably best to remove the blue color with a color remover (reductor) like Color Oops or Uncolor. There are two way to remove permanent color from hair. Bleach or a reduction remover like the two above. Bleach is way harder on the hair, but the reduction products are not 100% complete. I have found that you really might need to do a light bleach after Color Oops to get a consistent canvas for the red. Your hair will be in much better shape using a reduction reaction vs. the oxidation reaction from a heavy bleach.

BTW: There a bunch of home remedies for color removing including Dawn Dish Detergent, Vitamin C, Head and Shoulders Shampoo. YouTube is filled with them.

In any case, I look forward to the video of the cut and the coloring. Are you going short enough to need a little hot lather around your hairline? Should be exciting for you!

Kat, are you going to a barber shop? Will your hair cut be given by a "barber" or "barberette"?

I'm going to a barbershop about four hours away. I didn't see an barberettes at the shop, but their extremely short haircuts are amazing.

4 Hours Away? ... Depending on direction would put you in my neck of the woods!

I'm hoping with how short I'm going, there won't be much blue color left in my hair.

Vitamin C or Dawn detergent, hmmm, I'll have to try that.

I'm hoping they will do a bit of shaving.

Just ask them to do it ...... Maybe get your face shaved .....
