So do I scrub vigourously, until I can see the red, or do I have my hairdresser make it darker
There is a 3rd option here --> leave it as is. It sounds like a LOVELY colo(u)r. But if you don't like it, well, then, go with your gut. The problem with going really dark is that if/when you decide you want your natural colour back you will either be up for more dye (red, this time) or really obvious roots. Either of which COULD be fun, and should in NO way dissuade you from getting it dyed darker. Before my sister shaved her head, she did one purple/black dye job on her luxurious brown locks -- it was quite lovely.
And note -- I am partial to lovely black hair -- note the beautiful girl in my user icon ;).
Ooh - 4th option -- have your stylist put dark black foils in to lend depth to the cherry black -- expensive, but PUURRTY!
And whatever you decide - takes picks of the current colour, and of where you go with it. And post them. *EG*
