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!"

This sounds dumb but it does work. While you are dyeing her hair if you use the dye on the spots that you got on yourself it will come off. I'm not sure if it works when it's dry but I can't make it any worse now

Everybody knows that hair dyes without gloves can be stained on your skin for 1-3 days. Good luck on your work man

Hair dye stains pretty much everything, and can be harmful to the skin (which is why they don't advise you dye near to the roots until the last 5 minutes). Use a lot of shower gel and it should help a little.. maybe.

it washes it off if you do it on yourself and get it off in the shower, but it's harder to get off just by washing your hands.

Wear some kawaii cotton gloves for the next few days. Or at least paint your nails.
