To change my hairdresser after this?

Been using local hairdresser for about 3 years. It's a 10 minute walk from my house.

In the times I've been, they have persistently left hair dye all over my face and I've shown them pictures of the colour I want and the result is usually nothing like.

Yesterday I had an appointment for 11.30. I got there, got sat in the chair and showed them a picture of what I wanted (dark brown with caramel highlights). They said that was fine and they set to work. Throughout the appointment I got the feeling that they had squeezed me into an appointment that they didn't really have. One girl put the colour on, they got the apprentice to wash it off and dry it and then a different woman was set to cut it! I even heard them arguining in the back about who was cutting my hair. I ended up feeling quite unwanted there. Then one came out and asked if I actually wanted it cutting!! I didn't get the head massage I normally get, the trained hairdresser didn't even check the colour before asking the apprentice to wash it off, no toner got put on and the end result was just very dark brown hair with no highlights and dye all down the side of my face which won't come off (I'm going to look a twat for days!). I was then practically wrestled out of the chair without anyone even showing me the back of it (I ended up asking to see it!).

When I got home DH said he liked it but later shouted "Mona Lisa Hair Peach" at me.

AIBU to write this off as the nail in the coffin for this salon?

I've cried laughing my way through this thread...for which I wholeheartedly apologise OP as this does not help your situation at all 😳😂💐

Find them on Facebook and give them shitty feedback xx

Hee Hee at Longines Pine. Kind of disappointed to find Peach is a nickname. It's def my word for bad hair day now. Sticking up for Mona Lisa- didn't have shampoo or hairdryers or hair dye, nothing but a bit of olive oil occasionally. No wonder it looks a bit like Neil from the Young Ones. (ancient TV show)

I am creasing at 'Mona Lisa hair peach' and the replies.

Saying your nickname is Peach still doesn't make it any better. Why would he shout 'Mona lisa hair, Peach'? It doesn't make any sense to me.

But on the subject of your hair. Ring them and tell them everything you told us but leave Mona out of it and demand they either redo it properly for free or give your money back. And stop going there!! 3 years of bad dye jobs and you keep going back?

Ttbb · 18/09/2017 02:07

Why do you keep going back? You have no one but yourself to blame at this point.

Shadow666 · 18/09/2017 03:04

You know what they say OP? The definition of insanity is going back time and time again to the same hairdresser but expecting a different result. Wink

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 18/09/2017 03:44

Ah, my mistake. Ops nickname is peach.

Surely someone else has heard it said though?? I'm not crazy, either Peach! Or that's a peach! No? Just me? 😆

WalkanTalk · 18/09/2017 04:59

Omg I'm literally crying laughing at your husband's reaction 😂😂😂😂

Why do you go there?

Mustang27 · 18/09/2017 09:13

Why did you pay???

As soon as they had asked do you want it cutting after hearing them argue I'd have got my stuff explained they are a bunch of rude ingrates and they can stuff their salon and you will be telling everyone and their nan how bad their service is.

I'm just baffled.

The Mona Lisa thing confused me too, cute nickname though.

NRFT sorry but as regards getting colour off your skin, use cotton wool and milk - it does work

Borodin · 18/09/2017 12:00

So you wanted chocolate caramel peach and got brown Mona Lisa peach? I think I'd be upset too!

shaddupayouface · 18/09/2017 12:50

Really? I always take a picture with me as I'm hopeless at explaining what I want and the girl who cuts my hair asks to look at it whilst she's cutting my hair for reference.

hula008 · 18/09/2017 12:57

What's wrong with having Mona Lisa hair anyway?

Coffeeandcherrypie · 18/09/2017 13:38

MLH is lank and frizzy. Not a great look.

Chestnut24 · 19/09/2017 17:59

AIBU to ask what Mona Lisa Hair Peach means?!

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 20/09/2017 11:55

'Peach' is the OP's nickname from her DP, therefore, he just said her hair looks like the Mona Lisa's hair. HTH.

suzy2b · 22/09/2017 12:04
