Says any more foils and I'll end up with a block blonde colour fringe

She has agreed to put a foil in the fringe to add some blonde but says she can only put 1 foil in as not enough hair

It looks like a really good job to me!

It just feels like the top and fringe is lacking. She asked me how far up to start the balayage.

She mentioned that if she did the fringe it wouldn't blend as the fringe is short

The front of your hair/the fringe is never done when you have a balayage done unless you specifically ask for a “money piece” done, that would include your fringe x

WindowFrogs · 13/07/2024 17:09

The bayalage looks good to me, natural and well toned. I'd say it feels like it's missing lighter/ brighter 'money pieces' at the front. You could ring up and ask if they would add those as the colour doesn't have the extra brightness you asked for without them.

In balayage, isn’t the blonde supposed to start lower down?

Summerinspringtime · 13/07/2024 17:06

It looks very natural. Not sure if that’s what you wanted.

SmudgeButt · 13/07/2024 17:05

balayage?

Werweisswohin · 13/07/2024 17:04

It looks like she forgot the blonde on your fringe. Sorry. The other parts are nice though.

SinkingFeelingSoph · 13/07/2024 17:03

It looks great IMO!!

Squirrelsnut · 13/07/2024 17:02

The main bit is lovely but the fringe section needs attention.

wagram · 13/07/2024 17:01

You are right, it doesn't look as if the fringe has been done? The rest is really lovely.

If I'd paid a lot for that I wouldn't be happy at all, sorry.

I had told the hairdresser that I wanted it to stand out be quite prominent

It does stand out 😬

When I look at 2nd picture it doesn’t look like she’s take the blonde as high up at the front as across the crown of the head.

Thanks! No, it's not great. You can see lines where the blonde starts. Go back and ask for blending.

tellmeitsnotjustme12 · 13/07/2024 16:58

It looks nice to me. Quite a natural look if that was what you were going for - The blonde seems to subtly give you a colour lift rather than being obvious chunks.

Garlickest · 13/07/2024 16:57

From what your picture shows, it looks very very natural. Is that what you asked for?

I agree that a photo with your hair brushed and a smaller black box would help.

Have you had it done today?

Attheendoftheday86 · 13/07/2024 16:52

Can you post pic again but make the black box smaller?

It's a all over colour then the blonde balayage. It was quite expensive.
