unpunk: help, o wise expunk friendslist!

The blue hair is Not Going To Fly, but it's actually not my fault. Apparently it wouldn't have been a big deal as an admin (our other admin girl bleached her bangs and the front chunks of her otherwise-black hair ( Read more... )

Can't you dye it all a shade of red somewhat similar to what you already have? You might have to bleach the blue out again before you can do that, though. I'm sure a salon could fix it though.

Also, I don't see why you can't just dye it all black! Black is a natural hair color, just because certain people know it's not *your* natural color doesn't mean it's unacceptable. Sheesh!

It's possible they just meant "Oh, honey, it would look awful on you," rather than "IT'S A RULE." Although I am so ungodly pale I would probably be making an accidental goth statement, and I'm really more candy raver at heart than emo goth, so...

haha, well, that is a truth. You could go for maybe a brown then, which might be able to mask the blue without you having to bleach it first, and brown is less goth-like.

I am quite sure that a salon could do this for you. I'm not sure about anything else regarding dyeing, but I have great faith in a stylist's abilities to fix things like this.

Perhaps I will look up a good one on my surprise day off tomorrow. I'd love to go blonde, because when I bleached out my hair streaks they looked RAD, but I think it is maybe too much change all at once.

What's with coming in on Saturdays to do sales stuff but still being paid as an admin? I call bullshit!

mylittleredgirl October 9 2007, 07:00:04 UTC

TOTALLY.

They've also been asking me to cover other sites on my weekends without getting paid. They think I should just be grateful for the experience... and I am, I just chafe at feeling like I'm being taken advantage of.

AND SCARED BECAUSE MY HAIR IS NOT WHAT I INTENDED, AIIEEE.

I second bullshit! You feel like you're being taken advantage of...because you ARE. And they'll keep on doing it until you call them out.

Can you parlay this hair thing into a raise? Tell them that if you need to go through all this effort to look like a sales agent, they need to pay you like one. Here's tons of advice on how to ask for a raise.

Thank you, sweetie... I actually already asked, because they'd offered it to me "once I got licensed" and then conveniently forgot. After talking to people didn't do anything, I sent in an email with some numbers and a detailing of how my job description has changed, I'm making more money for the company now, etc.

They said they'd talk about it when one of the bigwigs gets back from her trip to Italy, so there's still hope. I'm less "OMG NEED RAISE!" now than I was a few weeks ago, because Sister and I are now not planning to move immediately, but we'll see what happens after bigwig gets back.

Yeah... I will have to look up a good stylist.

I think this means I'm officially No Longer Punk. :(

I went brown once before... and it was so weird. More than any other color I've done, it's like I became a completely different person. No one remembered me! Or talked to me randomly at bus stops sharing their life stories! Or tried to pick me up all creepy even though I was only 13!

... actually, brown might not totally suck. Though I have a natural resistance to it since it was the first time I dyed my hair and it made my mother cry.

Good idea, miss Lemon! <3
