    Hi, I want to dip dye my hair for the summer but haven't a clue.
    1. Where can I get a purple or blue Hair dye that I can use at home, and will last a month or so?
    2. Does anyone know how much it costs to get this done in a salon in Dublin?

    Thanks

    I'm not exactly sure of which salon would do it, but when I used to dye my hair bright colours, like pink or blue etc I would use Stargazer hairdye.

    It's the only one that I can think of right now, you can see the colours they have in Georges Arcade, right in the center of the arcade there's a shop that does them at the till, they sell hats, tights and bags.

    Asha in Stephen's Green shopping centre stock it too.

    Not sure about hairdressers but when I had blue hair I used to pick up the dyes in Terrisales on Abbey St, in Georges St arcade or in emo-y shops in general. In my experience blue/green/red/pink dyes etc don't last a month, they'll get very faded after a couple of weeks and you'll need to top up the colour pretty regularly

    Superdrug do some. Any of the salon suppliers: terri sales, sally's, savers etc all do them. As far as what salon, I'd say most, however you may need to either ring ahead for them to get your dye in or bring your own. I used to get highlights then get the highlights dyed purple, but I don't anymore, and I've this if you want it - picked it up in Superdrug, opened the box to read the instructions but other than that it's brand new & you can have it if you'd like it:http://www.smartbeautyshop.com/hair/hair-colour/colour-highlights/476-smart-highlights-pure-purple-hair-colouring.html
    - you'd just have to collect it from Dundrum ;)

    Hey!

    I dip dye my hair at home as Dublin hairdressers offer ridiculous prices. I asked around and got quotes ranging from 100-140 Euros. But I have dark brown hair which needs heavy bleaching before dip dying. So if you have lighter hair, your bleaching costs may be lower.

    I get my dyes from Terrisales at Abbet St. I only tried Cyclamen and Pinkissimo from Crazy Colour. But they have a good range of colours and brands. It is said above but these colours such as pinks, blues, etc. are semi-permanent dyes. So they wash off in a few weeks (I top up the colour every 2 weeks). And bleaching is a real pain. I got my bleach from Amazon, but I think they sell bleach (both the peroxide and the powder) at Boots as well. You only have to do it once though. After the first time, you only top up the colour.
