£175 for this... AIBU to complain?

[HairHell]

Went to SAKS. Never paid this much for a hair-do in my life, but really wanted a great ombre-balayage and saved up for it.

This is what I got. I'm so upset. Didn't realise it was this bad in the salon under the soft lighting in a corner of the salon with no natural light.

Spent 4 hrs (twice the amount of time she said it'd take, so she also had to tend to 2 other clients inbetween doing my hair). Came out feeling sick, dizzy and rushing off to pick DS up from MIL who needed to go out so didn't get chance to really look at it til I got home.

Can I complain now that I've left the salon?

@Timide She's already had it fixed!! 🤣

No prob @hairhell these stories bring out all types of knobheads

What LittleGwyneth says, "paying that for a hair cut - in London and the SE that's totally normal." is true. I'm in the SE and while it was more than I'd usually pay, this particular branch of SAKS wasn't ridiculously more than other non-franchise hair salons in my area. And I'd still have to save up to have my hair done at other salons. I just had to save for a few weeks longer to visit this salon.

I'm originally from Up North and when I moved to the SE the cost of everything compared to where I'm originally from was hard to get used to. So generally speaking I agree with a lot of pp's that £175 is stupid money. I feel that much of what I purchase down here is stupid money. But I live in the SE now, I like it here, so I have to accept the high cost of everything... Even if it does persistently induce a stereotypical Northern response of "How fucking much??!!"
