Beauty school

So i have friend who is just about to graduate beauty school. I haven't seen her in a while so i decided to go and have her color and cut my hair while we catch up...So I like my hair how it was but maybe a little change would be nice. So i Told her i just wanted a trim and maybe a little bit darker with some hints of red...hints... So three hours later.... I have red/purple hair and 2 1/2 inches missing from my head..... Yeah it's different and kinda cool... Maybe the 2000 hours of hair doesn't quite cut it....
