No, but I did something similar.

When I wanted to go blonde from my dark brown hair, the first salon that used to cut my long front Bob styled hair ended the whole 4 hour process with comments like “see, it turned out great!”.

When in fact, it was too much of a warm blonde that looked pretty bad in real life.

It was too yellow. It wasn’t blonde, it was like… yellow.

I knew I wouldn’t be going back to that hair salon, so I went to another colorist who was a badass at everything dyeing.

So the next month, he fixed my hair and gave me this villain blonde that got a ton of compliments.

And it had pink hue in the roots and tips too!

I wanted a super cool blonde, not a sun blonde, not a gold blonde like the first one they gave me.

And when they didn’t even say “the tone will be finalized on your next appointment” but were pretty ok with what they did, I didn’t go back.

My colorist is stable now. It’s been like 2–3 months and I’m not going to anyone else. Even when he gave me a grey toned platinum the last time without asking me. Good thing those layers get washed out in 2 hair washes at most.

He also made my cotton candy pink hair dream come true the next time I got my hair colored.

I wish I could have this color forever, but I’m about to switch jobs and not every company likes even this much edgyness, so this ended up being a pretty short lived style of mine.

I’m pretty happy with my current colorist’s work. As long as we both live, I don’t think I’ll see anyone else.
