Help me fix my hair dyed with a violet semi dye?!?

I wanted the top half of my hair an ash blonde so I asked my friend, a freshly licensed cosmo, what I should do. She said she wanted to do it for me. I went ti her house 3 daya later and she first bleached my hair. First with 30vol and then the next two times with 40vol. My hair was orange! But, she had bought a Hi Lift Cool Blonde and said thia would tone it and make it ash blonde. Wrong! It waa now urine yellow...

So I figured, doing hair as she does, that she would fix it. She rustled around through her house and came back with a bowl full of a bluish mixture and said she couldn't find a toner but thia should work just like one...

My hair is platinum at the roots, yellow as you go down, then blue (some spots are greenish) and then my ends range from blue to light blue to platinum and are very damaged.

Salon is not an option for me for another 2 weeks and I start my new job on Monday!!

Update:

I forgot to add:

- She stripped my hair with a box of Color Oops before all of this.

- I found out she used Beyond the Zone Violet something or otger as my toner.

- I've been putting tomato soup (which kind of maybe helped get rid of the green tint), lemon juice (seemed to makebthe blue bolder in some spots and lighter in the others) and dish soap (seemed to work the best so far) in my hair for hours but I'm about to ball my eyes out!

(Sorry for any typos I am on an android phone and it hates me.)

    1...do not touch anything that has the word Henna in your hair! Henna and color do not mix! Henna and any chemical do not mix!

    Okay with that said, Go to a beauty supply store and get a semi-permanent hair color darker than what your darkest color on your head is right now. A dark blond will work. Anything stronger right now will only damage your hair more. Later once you start working bring a list of what your friend (who does not know color) did to your hair already as they can only determine what to do once they see what has already been done to you. They will most likely stick to a semi permanent hair color, which you can do at home if you wish.

    first off I've been there I'm naturaly blond and I dyed my hair red and decided to go back to blond. So I stripped my hair with normal peroxide and toned it with jenson and violate. Then sat in the sun with lemon juice in my hair and washed it out with dish soap. After that I put jenson violate in my shampoo so it acted like silver wash. She buggeed up big time. Best advice go buy a dark brown and dye your hair with that! Get a leave in conditioner for every day use and go to a Hindu shop if you have any around and get this wax thing they put in their hair and sleep with. Also try the hena dye coz it won't damage your hair. Then with your first pay make a series of appointments with a hairdresser that knows how to work with hair and go strip your hair properly!

    You need to bleach the yellow and violet with a 30 vol until its light yellow. You need to get all the hair to the same color, but yellow will do you dont need it all platinum.

    Then buy a box color ash blonde and apply it.
