Shoutout to the color mixing chart that lied to my face

Ngl, I followed the formula for a perfect ash blonde to the letter. It came out neon green, and now my client thinks I'm trying to start a new trend. What's the most bizarre color fail you've ever had?

Alright but calling it a "bizarre color fail" feels a bit dramatic, no? It's just hair. That 90s raver green might actually come back, you never know. Is a weird tone really the end of the world when it washes out in a few weeks? Sometimes these charts are more like gentle suggestions.

Honestly this happens with everything from paint swatches to those little dye packets for cake icing. The picture on the box never matches real life, and we all just keep trusting it. It's like the world runs on slightly wrong instructions that everyone pretends are fine. That neon green is just the universe's way of keeping hairdressers humble.

Maybe your client was right about starting a trend, just a few decades early with that 90s raver green.

Ugh, @robin450 might be onto something with that raver trend call.
