To be honest, even going to a salon doesn't necessarily always guarantee the perfect finish - I'm pretty certain we've all had the misfortune (at some point) of either experiencing or witnessing a professional disaster! That said, there are pros and cons to both - just don't jump the gun and make sure you fish around for the best option first. I was intending to do a home DIY a couple of months back but I'm a royal wimp and the bleaching scared me + I've never actually dyed my hair before so probably a blessing that I didn't attempt it. So like Kayleigh suggested, salon, unless you're certain you can ace it. Good luck whichever you choose <3
I thought about getting this done too! i think its super cute for summer but... in a way, imo - it kinda looks like past dyed hair that grew out & you were too lazy to go back for touch ups! lol, thats why i'm kinda hesitating to get it done.

I'd recommend you go to a salon, that way you can rest knowing its been done professionally and that it looks even all over!
