Getting the orange out
Any red or orange color is going to be the hardest to get out of your hair. I had this same issue a few years ago, and it's not an easy one to fix. At this point, I would be very careful because your hair is so pourous after the chemical treatments that you don't want to damage it anymore.
You have two options. You can completely bleach it and strip all the color out of your hair (this is harsh), and then put toner back in it. Or you could die it a darker color to cover up the orange. I know you were wanting a blonde color, but I would suggest going a little darker for now. It's the best way to get your hair back to a normal color without damagine it any further.
I would also demand your money back at the salon. I can't believe they charged you. Twice. That is ridiculous!!!
AnswerA hairdresser is suppose to be a professional and should have looked at your hair more closely and decided how to treat the hair. You should never use products YOU buy off the shelves, but you should have asked for your money back and gone to another hairstylist.
Here is a little trick I learned from my hairstylist. I have dark brown hair and get carmel streaks put in and my hair was getting pretty weary looking and I couldn't do anything with it and she had a hard time getting the color of those streaks in and going red. She asked for some advice from her boss and the trick of it all was is to use baking soda with warm water and mix into a thick paste and apply to damp hair and leave on for 20 minutes, but preferably 1/2 hour. Then use a shampoo and rinse. It worked miracles! When I go and get my streaks put in I now do this proceedure myself and my streaks are just fine.
What they can do for you is put what they call a "glaze" in your hair to dull it, then they color it. Go to someone who is more professional even if it costs you a little more.
