Today, I dyed a friend's hair dark brown. She assured me I didn't need gloves as the dye would wash off. It didn't. My shift as a server is in an hour and it looks like I've been working in a tire shop my whole life. Goodbye tips, hello angry customers not wanting me anywhere near their food. FML

All of you who gave me things to say to customers, they were hilarious! Also, I'd like to explain a little bit. The reason she didn't have any gloves for me to wear is because the hair dye she bought didn't come in a box. It was two metal tubes of the stuff in a bag, that was it! I knew better but let her talk me into it anyway. It's definitely my fault, I take full responsibility because I've dyed hair before (mine, mainly) and I know what it can do and if she had told me about it any sooner, I would have brought my own gloves. Oh well, just another funny story to tell. As for work, I went up to the restaurant (I don't live more than 2 miles away) showed my manager my hands and explained the situation. He laughed about and was understanding. Luckily, someone was able to cover my shift, I just needed to clean my hands ASAP! Thank you for all of the suggestions on how to get it off! They're returning to their normal shade of porcelain white (which makes it even more obvious) but I'm definitely going to speed up the process! Sorry for the long comment!

But why wouldn't you wear gloves anyhow? Everybody knows those chemicals are pretty strong, and yes, stain whatever they touch

Serve them food, look them straight in the eye and calmly say, "I have the rot!"

That's why the kit comes with gloves. Obviously. YDI.

Not -all- dye comes in a kit, you can buy tube dye and it's just the concentrated color, meaning you get no bottle, no brushes and no gloves.

If you're buying tube dye- you also need to buy developer, a brush, and it is likely from a professional supplier... You still deserve it. Especially if you are using professional supplies- have you ever seen a professional due hair without gloves?

Why not wear those fancy white gloves!

Why would you think you didn't need gloves..aside from obviously staining your hands with dye, you're handling potentially harmful chemicals on your bare skin lol

It is dye. Therefore, more often than not, it will also dye your hands
