I have never found a permanent hair dye that did unnatural colors (other than red) as well as a bottle of bleach and some manic panic. Or punky colors. I'm aware that you are not likely to want to lighten your hair to get the desired purple effect, but I'm telling you that when my hair was extremely purple (and I wish I had any pictures, but I don't) it was with wella quickblue and manic panic ultra-violet. That will also turn your scalp purple, as well as any other skin it comes in contact with.
I disagree with your friend- I think there's nothing wrong with coloring your own hair. But once you mess with things that require developer and once your hair is already colored, you run the risk of an interaction. For me, it's just hair and I can cut it off if something odd happens. For other people that are more attached to that stuff on their head, it might be best to go to a pro or get a friend who is a pro to do it. :)
