Color washed out too fast

I went to the salon and had a Goldwell's semi-permanent color put on. Now I knew that it would wash out a little with each shampoo, but I thought it was like waterproof mascara and would need shampoo to strip the color.
Anyway, I get purple hands every morning when I still my hair. If I let it air dry, I have a purple-tinged collar and even though I haven't used shampoo on it yet, the color seems to be mostly gone after 1.5 weeks.
Did my hairdresser do something wrong. Was that just $45 wasted or should I try again with a different brand?

Semi-permanent, while much easier on the hair initially, is, in my opinion, a waste of money. It's just as expensive as permanent color, but it washes out in less than half the time --which means you have to have it colored again much more often --which means your hair is getting processed much more often than is healthy.
Hope that helps.
Mind u, this was after a couple mths of the color being done...it should've been fading by this time.
In the end, they had to bleach my hair to get it out. I was not pleased. Isn't that the whole point of using semi perm? All the other semi perms I used came out on my clothes. I'm on here looking for something kinda in the middle of these two disasters :lurk:
