So at the end of November I had my cousin try ombre on me. To me I don't think the blonde is to bright and not very noticeable but I don't want it to be dramatic either. I was thinking on asking my stylist to redo it...what do you guys think.

You have pretty hair! my suggestion , and I have my cos license , hehe so you can trust me.. Anyways! My suggestion for you would be to have your cousin do the same technique but with a different product , this is going to save you money, if you have a Sally's beauty supply store near you pick up the color for the ombré, the color is called Wella 12A. The reason you would use this color is because it will bring your already existing color to about 4 shades lighter and it also has toners in the color to cancel out any nasty red or brass... It's a win win. You wouldn't be using bleach so less damage and your results will be a beautiful natural shade with a bigger difference in lightness. You would use 40 vol developer with the 12A! (: I hope I helped

The technique she used was teasing and with the left over hair she dyed throughout my hair.

Do a bleach with something about 3 steps lighter from what you have and then darken it with a light brown and then in the tips do the original blond. Honestly I would go to a perf, because it's a hard hair style even for experienced hairstylists. Mine cost 140$.

Did she tease the hair before she did it? It looks really abrupt. Not a slow blend of color like an ombré should be.
