I've been going to the same girl that highlights my hair for years. I scheduled an appointment for last friday and the salon called to tell me that they had to cancel my appt because my colorist's had a family matter. They told me they had booked me with another girl in case I wanted to take that appt. I said okay because we are having family photos done this Sunday and my usual girl didn't have anything available when I could go this week.
I told the girl at my appointment I wanted to go darker (back to my natural auburnish color) and she told me she didn't think it would be a good idea because she had never done my hair and that was a drastic change from my really blonde hair. She instead offered to do the two blonde colors that were in my chart for my highlights and add in a low light. I hesitated and told her I didn't think that we should keep the lightest blonde because that would be such a contrast but she assured me it would great and blend naturally. Well, it didn't and my hair looks like I'm wearning a Zebra on my head.
I'm facebook friends with my colorist and I sent her a message later the next day telling her what happened and sent her a picture. She said we could fix it, no problem, that we just need to put a toner in it and I would be in and out. I'm seeing her later today (my sweet husband is leaving work early) and I know she won't charge me.
Of course, I'm going to tip her, but how much should I tip? She charges me $150 for my highlights typically.
Sorry this got so long!
Re: How much would you tip?
Yeah, crazy, I know, but she does a great job. The cost is part of the reason I want to go to my natural color for awhile. Hard to justify paying that much now that I'm a SAHM and going back to school.
I was thinking $40 so I'll go with that. Thanks!
