Tip: Hair Dye Stain Removal from Carpet
An unfortunate accident with hair dye can make cleaning carpet a nightmare. In many cases, it may even mean the end of your carpet. Hopefully it won't come to this. There are a few things you can try to remove carpet stains of this nature. First of all, it should go without saying that if hair dye is spilled on the carpet one should act immediately. Dampen a sponge and apply dishwashing liquid. Blot the stain with the sponge until you've lifted as much of the dye as possible. You can also try doing the same thing with vinegar. If this doesn't work and the stain hasn't set into the carpet too deep, you might be able to snip the very top fibers of the carpet without anyone knowing. If none of this works, you'll have to call in a professional who makes cleaning carpet stains his business or rearrange your furniutre to hide the stain.

as a hairdresser i can tell you that i use 40 volume developer on dark color spots that i get on my clothes and that usually takes the spot out. developer is hydrogen peroxide which maybe you can get at sallys beauty supply if they sell it to the public. if it is dark haircolor that may work, if the color has lightened the carpet then the pigment is gone and nothing will help that. good luck!

When all else fails, soak it with aerosol hairspray then shampoo it. I am serious. Just realized that sounds funny. :)
