I like Sillygirl's response. but i can see how you would be hesitant to return and demand your money back. it would have been easier to convince them if you had complained immediately after the salon session.
Find a gutsy man to bring with you, or a domineering female, who will fight for you if you don't think you can handle it.
If the prospect of demanding your money back doesn't sound promising, do yourself a favor and the next time you go into a salon, BRING A FRIEND who vows to encourage you to keep with your original brunette plan. If the stylist screws it up again, then you two can confront them on the spot.
I don't go to salons often (last time was 3 years ago). I can't stand this kind of crap. Every time I go, they try to convince me to dye my hair or to cut it completely differently, then request that I purchase their fancy hair products. It's all a marketing ploy. They make money off of the expensive hair products. I'm not recommending that you use Suave or another shamelessly cheap brand, but there is no reason to spend twice the money for something they recommend over what you personally prefer.
There is a fine line between being nice and being taken advantage of. They see someone who is insecure and indecisive as easy money. It may be difficult, but don't let them dissuade you from what you really want.
Here's a scenario:
"I want to go Brunette this time around"
"Ewww, why would you do that???"
"Because."
"But you'll look like crap. look at this."
"So you're telling me that you're incapable of using brown hair dye appropriately?"
"er...."
"I think I need to find another stylist."
"Wait - ok. i'll make you brunette."
It's not easy to be harsh. But it's worth it to not be platinum.
