Are these bad highlights, and if so, why?

I think they are bad, my hairdresser doesn’t and has basically told me to go find someone else. If they are bad, what is making them bad, as in technically - too close to the root? Too thick? Too uniform? These photos are from the day they were done. I wanted really fine barely there beachy highlights. Just want to try and communicate better with my next hairdresser. Thanks.

Thanks. Yes I showed her this - which actually my own hair from about 10 years ago! I’ve cropped my face out obviously but you get the feel hopefully of what I wanted. I used to have it coloured by a stylist I adored, but she moved away. I then hadn’t had it coloured for about 8 years, so the hairdresser had a blank canvas. I asked for barely there highlights, really subtle. I’ve now got this full head of blonde! New hairdresser used bleach, no other colour.

I’ve just screenshotted this pic as it looks exactly like how I want mine. It’s so difficult to make sure you’re going to someone that has the same vision as you!

I’m assuming this is sarcasm!

Lol, no I meant the before pic of your hair from before. That’s what I’m after.

I just realised your original post was from June! I must have found it as I was looking for advice on if it’s unreasonable to cheat on my usual hairdresser by going to another stylist🙈. I’m taking your original ultra fine highlights as inspiration, and I hope you got your hair fixed to how you wanted it
