Wig or Hat for the Next Month?

[gershwhen]

It was time to get my hair color updated, I'd let the color/highlights from spring fade.  I went in tonight and asked for the same color combination as last time because I loved it. I don't know what he did, but it's AWFUL.  It looks too dark and too flat and I was trapped for 2 hours and have NOTHING but worse looking hair to show for it

was one on how to kill himself with his own shears???

I've often wondered how our hairdressers can get it right - sometimes - but can never remember how they did it. It's like the great clothes hanger multiplication and the kidnapping of our socks by clothes dryers around the world.

My sympathy goes out to you, babe.

BTW: Can't you make him add highlights now? Anything to lighten it up for you?

I know that *all* of us know exactly how frustrated and angry you feel. But it will grow out, and there are lots of cute little hats out there. Trust me, every woman will empathize. Do what you can to enjoy 'the look' until it grows out!

hat or wig? neither - call the salon manager, tell them you're unhappy, and ask for a re-do. I'm sure your stylist would be mortified to know how much you hate it. Give him an opportunity to make it right.

tl;dr? - it's your hair and you don't have to live with anything you don't like.

You know, you can wash your hair with dishwashing liquid---like Palmolive or Dawn---and that will fade the color much more quickly.

I do sympathize---there's nothing that makes your heart sink like seeing your hair in the salon and realizing you hate it.

But yes, you SHOULD demand your money back or a re-cut. I've done that before, and I requested that another stylist fix it.

Also, you can easily have highlights put back in or do them yourself, no matter that it's already dyed.
