I recently went to Dillard's Aveda Salon to have my hair colored rather than my old salon.It turned out great. I would rather pay more to have it done right. When using the Shimmer Lights, when your hair is bronze or orange. Just use it three times a week. I have read alot of people using it until their hair turns blue? Stop using for a while. Your hair won't turn blonde until you have someone do it over.I have them put high and low lights. It looks more natural. I have been using Aveda Shampoo and Conditioner which has made my hair more healthy looking.
