Is this normal for highlights?

just that really, the root line looks strange but I’ve never had them before so I’m unsure?

That's better, what did they do?

pecanpie24 · 03/12/2022 18:15

My god OP. Go to another hairdresser and get that rectified immediately and report who did them! They are awful! So sorry!

JustCakeInDrag · 03/12/2022 18:23

Thanks for all the moral support! They weren’t actually that kind about me going back to be honest - so it was a bit awkward, they added a few more foils around my roots then did a root stretch tone to blend them in. I’m glad I went back - I can’t believe how bad they were on the first pic!

What did they say? Did they agree the highlights looked really bad?

Longestnight · 03/12/2022 19:04

Out of interest, did the same person do them or a different person?

Idontknowwhattodo4 · 03/12/2022 20:10

The same person did them! She didn’t understand why I didn’t like them and she said that she just did as I asked ‘full head of highlights’ and that it was probably just because I wasn’t used to them 😂

Report them? Who to, 101?

laurwalsh · 03/12/2022 20:14

I used to get highlights for the guts of 15 years. Had them all - the good the bad the ugly. and sorry OP this is a terrible job. They should have blended with more than one block colour and used a toner. Not to mention they haven't even done your roots. I'd go back.

Oblomov22 · 03/12/2022 20:24

Well done for going back Op. they are at least better.

Bebabelouba · 03/12/2022 20:29

Well done OP. I'm glad you went back and are happy with the results.

Nancienoo · 03/12/2022 21:06

Lovely….. because your worth it x
