dye job

Colorist's salon work

A dye job is the result of dyeing hair, or the process itself: That's a bad dye job—you can see her roots.

The term often carries a slightly dismissive tone, implying the coloring is obvious or poorly done.

By extension, dye job can refer to any artificial coloring that's meant to deceive: The car's paint was just a dye job covering rust.
