Change?

I'm thinking about changing my hair color.

I've been blonde for over a year and a half now, and I think perhaps its about time to go back to brown. My only problem is that my hairstylist is also a friend...and she really likes my hair blonde, and doesn't want me to drastically change it to brown. She obviously didn't know me in college where my hair was a different color every month and was everything from blonde to a burgandy color. Hm...I just really hope I can convince her to go darker...not even dark brown, but a light brown color.... decisions, decisions...

The other option is to try and find my old stylist I used before I moved to California and go back to her, even though she was about $75 more than Tina is. However, I actually kinda liked her better.

Do I risk hurting a friend to get hair I love?!? I just don't know.
