Hi Vanessa,

Assuming your stylist used a permanent hair color, you won't have any problems with the red bleeding into the blonde while shampooing. The only time it's a concern is when the active color formula is on your hair and the stylist is rinsing it. If s/he isn't careful at that time, the red can tint the blonde a bit, but not after it's been washed off.

It s/he used a temporary color, that's another story. Because temporary colors are designed to wash out, the pigments aren't deposited inside the hair shaft as with permanent hair color, so there is a possibility of it bleeding onto the blonde pieces.

All the best,
Michelle
