I think it looks fine. I did basically the same thing once and I while a very pale woman with black hair CAN be an attractive look, it most definitely was not on me. I got the consultation at the hair salon too but it just sounded like an expensive ordeal so I just lived with it. But, I’m not a spender when it comes to hair. I haven’t gotten my hair cut in over a year and I bleached a streak into it myself (fairly successfully) so I’m all about a DIY or DNAA (do nothing at all) hair regimen.
