I'm disappointed as I feel the blonde doesn't blend nicely from top of head into the fringe.

From the little I can see, it looks very subtle. (as in very little difference in colour)

I'm afraid I can't really see your fringe because of the black out square.

Could you take another photo, maybe side on?

Ponoka7 · 13/07/2024 16:50

Is that your natural part? What did the hairdresser say she could do when you had the consultation? Tbh I use a belle color, natural ash blonde, home dye and it looks similar. How much did you pay?

Can't see that well but from the parts that are visible it's not great.
Can you post a better picture?

Lacky301 · 13/07/2024 16:52

It's a all over colour then the blonde balayage. It was quite expensive.

Can you post pic again but make the black box smaller?

FieldInWhichFucksAreGrownIsBarren · 13/07/2024 16:54

Have you had it done today?

From what your picture shows, it looks very very natural. Is that what you asked for?

I agree that a photo with your hair brushed and a smaller black box would help.

It looks nice to me. Quite a natural look if that was what you were going for - The blonde seems to subtly give you a colour lift rather than being obvious chunks.

Thanks! No, it's not great. You can see lines where the blonde starts. Go back and ask for blending.

Lacky301 · 13/07/2024 16:58

I had told the hairdresser that I wanted it to stand out be quite prominent

When I look at 2nd picture it doesn’t look like she’s take the blonde as high up at the front as across the crown of the head.

It does stand out 😬

FieldInWhichFucksAreGrownIsBarren · 13/07/2024 17:00

If I'd paid a lot for that I wouldn't be happy at all, sorry.

wagram · 13/07/2024 17:01

You are right, it doesn't look as if the fringe has been done? The rest is really lovely.

Squirrelsnut · 13/07/2024 17:02

The main bit is lovely but the fringe section needs attention.

SinkingFeelingSoph · 13/07/2024 17:03

It looks great IMO!!

Werweisswohin · 13/07/2024 17:04

It looks like she forgot the blonde on your fringe. Sorry. The other parts are nice though.

SmudgeButt · 13/07/2024 17:05

balayage?

Summerinspringtime · 13/07/2024 17:06

It looks very natural. Not sure if that’s what you wanted.

NinaPersson · 13/07/2024 17:09

In balayage, isn’t the blonde supposed to start lower down?

WindowFrogs · 13/07/2024 17:09

The bayalage looks good to me, natural and well toned. I'd say it feels like it's missing lighter/ brighter 'money pieces' at the front. You could ring up and ask if they would add those as the colour doesn't have the extra brightness you asked for without them.

Mrsttcno1 · 13/07/2024 17:14

The front of your hair/the fringe is never done when you have a balayage done unless you specifically ask for a “money piece” done, that would include your fringe x

Lacky301 · 13/07/2024 17:16

She mentioned that if she did the fringe it wouldn't blend as the fringe is short
