Does it exist any type of hair dye removal? If so, do you have any recommendations?

Color Oops works very well and it's very cheap. You can get it at any grocery store (if you live in America, I'm not sure about other countries.) However, if the dye you want to remove is an unnatural color like pink, blue, etc. then Color Oops would not remove it.

Yes you can strip your hair color by using Color Oops. Basically it'll strip it of the recent dye, so it'll bring you back to the color you had before the coloring (depending on the darkness of the color, thickness of your hair, and the harshness of the dye you might have to do it a few times) Or if it you don't want to do that, you can bleach it. Bleaching it will cause more damage to your hair and it'll most likely turn it to a yellowish blonde. I hope this helps! Xx

I would try shampooing it a lot, and if that doesn't work I'd go to a salon.

I've used color oops multiple times, on me and other people, and in my experience it's more damaging than bleach on myself and the people I've used it on. I had to cut a good 3-4 inches off after color oops, and it was super damaged, whereas when I bleach my entire head, I cut maybe an inch off and a few conditioning treatments later the damage it so little. And it smells awful for dayyssss. It always came out patchy, I tried removing a brown from my friends hair (who was naturally blonde but it was too dark) and all of a sudden she had brown stripes in her hair. I dye hair all the time so it wasn't the application of it. And on my hair there were areas that didn't have any color removed at all, and it never removed it completely. Not worth it in my opinion. A professional color stripper will be much less harsh and less smelly, plus they can color correct and can fix whatever happens.
