Because he was doing me a favour and now I have black splotches around my roots :(

@Onlyrainbows

I would normally do it myself, but last time he did such a great job, that I thought amazing! But no.... And yes I can fix that bit myself, I should have checked. He's a boat detailer/finisher
Yes, but you’re not a boat.
WonderfulYou · 20/03/2022 18:54

YABU unless he’s a qualified hairdresser then you can’t complain if he did it wrong, no matter how well he’s done in the past.

Sirzy · 20/03/2022 18:57

If you do your hair yourself, or get someone not a hairdresser to do your hair then it’s a risk you take

Justkeepon · 20/03/2022 19:02

I canoe believe he missed that massive part OP! but I guess ship happens.

I'll see myself out.

One word

Why

And second

Hairdressers! Bloody hundreds about why not just have it done properly

Onlyrainbows · 20/03/2022 19:06

It's only cause I posted a photo on the website and I can't on the app, so it was with one of my older usernames. And yes, no hairdresser likes to touch my hair because they claim I don't suit being blonde!

Ok, he’s a boat finisher but he’s not a hairdresser.

Just do the missed bits yourself. In fact, you could have started the process and he could have finished it by doing the hard to reach places surely?

My hair is not THAT destroyed but my crown definitely is!

RiaG91 · 20/03/2022 19:13

Shocksorry to hear about your hair. I don't know how you can trust anyone but a hairdresser - especially with bleach

Beautifulmonster87 · 20/03/2022 19:20

Why not keep to your natural colour? Your roots will show in a few days as you’re clearly very dark. Why moan about something you let a bloody boat painter do?! 😆

It's a bit rich to blame your partner for not doing your hair right when an actual hairdresser refuses to do it 😀 I think your hair looks lovely, if you know the risk of damage and dont mind then crack on I guess!
JellyfishandShells · 20/03/2022 19:38

The pink looks nice, OP.

Casheeeew · 20/03/2022 19:38

@AlisonDonut

Just redo those bits?

Titterofwit · 20/03/2022 19:41

He did a fantastic job the first time and ballsed it up the second tie you asked . Hmmm.
Maybe he just didnt fancy being your personal colourist ?

tkwal · 20/03/2022 19:46

Hairdressers don't usually outright refuse to do anything clients ask , unless they are worried that your hair will end up looking like shredded wheat as a result of too many harsh chemicals. Tbh I agree about it not suiting your skin tone but it's not my choice, it's yours. Maybe give your hair a break and a few good conditioning treatments for a couple of months and then go back to a professional

DenholmElliot · 20/03/2022 20:29

This is what girlfriends are for. You can't get all your needs met by men.

Really? Confused

Hairdressers won't high-light your hair/dye it blonde for you because they claim you 'won't suit it?'

Never heard of this in my life - ever.

Also, why can you not do it yourself @Onlyrainbows ? I have done my own 'blonding' for the past 15 years.

MrsSkylerWhite · 20/03/2022 20:32

So pay an hairdresser.

Orchidsonthetable · 20/03/2022 20:32

I agree you don’t have the right to be annoyed. Use a hair dresser. One will do it, he’s not your personal assistant.

AchillesPoirot · 20/03/2022 20:42

If I was you I’d lay off the bleach for a while you’re going to wreck your hair.

Onlyrainbows · 20/03/2022 20:43

I've always done my own hair... And yes just a handful of hairdressers have actually done my hair the way I like it, but, believe me the majority would say my hair is too dark and thick to go level 11. I only asked my husband to help me with my hair last time as I had missed a few bits around my back... And he did last time we had fun and it came out lovely! Unlike this time

MrsSkylerWhite · 20/03/2022 20:44

I cut my own hair, always have. If I asked my untrained husband to do it and he ballsed it up it would be my own stupid fault.
Live and learn.

@Onlyrainbows

Ah ha, that's not what you said, that hey said it's too dark and thick to go really blonde! You said they said it wouldn't suit you.

Anyhoo, it looks fine on the pic you put on a 19.11. Pinky colour looks nice! Smile
