Frustrated Rant

So today I decided I was going to do something for me. Just me. (Which I haven't done in I can't remember how long.) I mean this is probably my last chance to do so. I went to get my hair dyed professionally so that it would look really nice. So I wanted an ombre (brown to blonde fade) and made my appointment. Went in and she started, but there was some red in my hair being stubborn. Three hours later - THREE - and she just gave up. There is no blonde at all and it looks like she just dyed it all instead of doing the fade. Just frustrated because I paid way too much for something I could have done myself. I want my ombre!

  • That's lame! I never speak up when I don't like my hair (or food, pedicure, etc) but I always want to. Totally sucks to pay for something you didn't want and don't like!

  • Call and talk to the manager/owner of the salon and tell them you are unhappy. Maybe the have a Person there that specializes in color correction and the owner will absorb the cost. Sorry you had a shitty experience. You really should contact someone though. It's not fair to short change yourself
  • Yeah I think I'm going to call. I just feel bad because she works with a friend of mine and gave me a discount because he does massages at the same spa. But seriously. Look at the pics...she didn't even get close to what I asked for.

    That looks like a brown to blonde ombré to me...I think it looks good, actually.

    Wait, I'm sorry -- is the bottom you, or is that the pic you showed her as a sample?
  • The second set is the sample I showed her. The only one of me is from the front
  • If definitely demand either my money back or it done how you wanted. There's no excuse when you show pics and they don't give you want you want
  • Your color looks good, but is nothing like the pic and def not an ombré. You should call for sure!!

  • Ok, yeah. That doesn't look ombré. In her defense though, pregnancy hormones can really effect how your hair takes chemicals. She should have explained that to you. I went in for ombré around 4 months and the stylist wouldn't do it for that reason. She gave me highlights instead, the process is different and more reliable.
  • Hi, I'm a hairdresser and I know it's not what you wanted, but that color suits you very well. I think it's beautiful. She could have added more blonde on the bottom though, so you would have more of an ombre effect. However the pictures you showed her is a really bad dye job. Sorry to say. The only reason it looks good is because it's curled in the other pictures. Yikes!
