Red to Brown Hair Color

Hi, I've had a plummy red color in my hair for 2 years now, but because red is so hard to keep from fading, I'm thinking of changing colors to a brown/caramel color. I'm naturally a horrible mousey brown brunette, although I haven't seen my real color in years! I just wanted to know if this change can be done in one visit to the hair salon or would it take longer to achieve. (ie. would I have to wait for the red/ plum colour to fade completely?) Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

A lot would depend on how strong the red color is in your hair at present. If it's faded out a lot, a good hair color expert should be able to remove the red color from your hair and apply the brown color you want in one visit. If you go to someone who doesn't know the laws of color, you may end up with a horrible hair color.
Unfortunately, it's impossible for me to speculate about the results you'll get in a salon.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Know thy hairdresser! Especially if you go to them for a color change! Best of luck!
