I have never had luck removing permanent hair dye, but you could try using this advice from the Illinois Extension:

Steps to Clean

Pretreat the stain with heavy-duty liquid detergent. Rinse.
Soak fabric in dilute solution of all-fabric powdered bleach.
If stain persists and garment is white or colorfast, soak entire garment in diluted solution of liquid chlorine bleach and water. Chlorine bleach may change the color of the garment or cause irreversible damage.

Check for bleach tolerance on a hidden seam. If stain does not come out in 15 minutes of bleaching, if cannot be removed by bleaching.
If bleaching is not safe or does not work, use a commercial color remover according to package directions. Note that color remover will take out the fabric color as well as the stain. Do not exceed 160 degrees Fahrenheit water with any synthetic fabrics*. Launder.

Does ammonia work on removing any kind of dye?

No, because ammonia is actually and ingredient in most hair dyes.
