Name changed as every outing.
This maybe is a bit hard to follow so I had added an image for ease.
Please do not tell me it is only hair. It isn't, I've spent a fortune in 3 years getting it where it is and to keep my length.
1 is when I walked into the salon.
2 is the last time I had my hair done there.
3 and 4 show my hair now after visiting this time.
5 shows the golden colour I wanted on my ends and the blonde this time.
6 shows how I wanted a root shadow/blur/blend/ombre/ balayage with the blonde and lighter around the face this time. But I explained in golden blonde.
I showed 5 and 6 to the hairdresser when I went in.
I asked to go warmer because as you can see in 1 and 2 it naturally goes that way and I thought it would be better on my hair. Same of the root shadow I wanted to protect my hair from more stress and colour long term, but still be blonde.
Aibu to think this looks nothing like how I requested?
The hairdresser has said and I quote, " I don't think it went wrong though if I'm honest".
For clarity she told me not to pay "as it isn't what you asked for, you're not happy and you were here 7 hours. Come back if it is too dark and I will lighten it up".
I was khaki green at one stage with white stripes and she wanted to stop processing it then. I asked her to put one more toner on to correct the green. This corrected, but is a red based toner so may wash out.
I contacted her to request this lightening up and her boss (who is understandably angry she spent 7 hours on a free client) and she is in trouble and a meeting tomorrow.
She won't be lightening it up as she's now blocked me across social media after making false claims to me(saying she warned me about my hair when she didn't) and me telling her so. I wished her luck tomorrow and suggested she get him to call me if she needs so I can explain.
For reference, I get a weekly blow-dry there, I have been loyal to them for 3 years and I went there for nearly a year two years before that too until they sacked all the staff and replaced them with new staff after being closed a few months. I get my hair coloured every 6-10 weeks there depending on roots, toners every 3-4 weeks, my cuts there, my four DC cut there and my DH used to go there until recently, I also let them upload my kid's pics for adverts. (DH goes somewhere to get beard trim as well now) and she has ALWAYS done a great job, until now. And I have told her I appreciate hairdressing isn't a completely perfected science, I don't blame her I just really dislike it. (I have a little experience)
Aibu to think I don't have want I wanted?
