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!

Don't just blame your friend blame yourself too cause everyone knows with hair dye you always wear gloves it's called common sense get some.
The funniest part is that your fingernails will be brown for a lot longer than your skin. Good luck, OP.
Get a magic eraser, Mr. Clean or other, (NOT xtra strength!) wet per instructions

was it a Burgundy cokor dye OP?
if it's not from a professional store it's still crap even if it's not from a box. Still if you "dyed"(horrible word for coloring) your hair multiple times them you still should have known. Glad you take responsibility cause its still a YDI
Are you even speaking English?
Hope you tried the hand sanitizer recommendation. For your nails just put on nail polish and wait 2 or more days. It should come right off with the polish when you remove it.
It's pretty much your own fault, everyone knows that hair dye stains. That's why they come with gloves in the first place.
Way to be sympathetic
She stated in her comment that no gloves came with the dye.
Just wear gloves
YDI for not reading the box
If you read OPs follow up, you would know there was no box and she also takes full responsibility for it.
It's still common sense to use gloves rather it's from a box or not. She should know since she's done her own hair and the OP already said.
132, if you read ops FML you would see that she wanted to use gloves and even asked for them. Her friend did not have gloves and convinced her to just go on ahead with out them. Of course OP should have used gloves but you make it seem like she went on without gloves without any questions
169 is exactly right, she fully understood the risk of getting dye on herself, but decided to try anyway, can't be upset with/blaming of someone for taking a small chance like that
If it's going to dye her hair of course it will dye your hands too, you should always wear gloves but sometimes we have to learn from our mistakes.

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!"
