EliTheAdorable tells us more.
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!

always read the directions. most dye products provide gloves; it's there for a reason. ydi. good luck, though.
I've never seen a box of hair dye NOT come with gloves - they're in there for a reason. YDI. But yes, rubbing alcohol, or any alcohol really. Also next time you dye her hair for someone use vaseline on anywhere exposed that may get dye on it - makes it come off super easy.

I would think they'd want you as a server to wear gloves anyways just so you're not directly touching the food.
Its Hair dye? How stupid are you to believe you didnt need gloves.
its dye its purpose is to paint things you should've known better

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!"
