What I asked for vs. What I got

[hairdyehaircry]

I asked for pic 1 and left with pic 2. ..

It's so different! I had to leave in a hurry (& it wasn't cut in front of a mirror) so I didn't get to appreciate just how bad it was.

My hairdresser is lovely (but not brilliant) and has really struggled over lockdown so I've already accepted I'm not going back to her to fix it.

I just feel so mumsy and frumpy.

What shall I do?

• leave it and style as best as I can? The colour isn't bad, it's just not right.
• try to dye it myself at home- very risky!
• throw money at it (which I don't really have, and it will be ages for an appointment in a salon)

I do know it's just hair. But I was really looking forward to having it done nicely.

I disagree with people saying it is unrealistic and unachievable. If you book in at George Northwood and accept that you are going to spend the thick end of 500 quid and be there several hours you will walk out with something very very close to that picture that will also grow out in a nice shape. But it is expensive and will require expensive maintenance. I am sorry you have had such a bad cut😕

It’s not a bad cut, and I think in the main due to different hair types.
I think if you buy some product to help tousle the hair and practice doing waves it will be fine.
