I've been going to my hairdresser for about 7 years. We met as our kids were at school together. We've become friends too and socialise alone and with our kids regularly.
She used to be good. The problem is, for whatever reason, she's been doing a poor job for maybe the last 8 ish months. I don't know what's changed with her, I just feel like I've now had a run of 4 or 5 bad dye jobs and not great cuts either. I have highlights, and where they used to look natural, they now look stripey and yellow. Today, I finally took the plunge and tried to diplomatically ask for finer more natural highlights, she said she'll tone it for me. It wasn't until she'd blow-dried it that I saw she's essentially covered all my highlights with brown dye/toner, so I now look like I have no highlights at all 😩 wtf. It's really dull and drab looking and doesn't suit my skin tone.
My husband has said I need to stop going to her but it's just so awkward as she'll know I'm seeing a different hairdresser as I obviously see her all the time. I love her as a friend and don't want to upset her, but my hair looks rubbish. I don't know how she can't see it looks bad.
How do you think I should approach this?
