Ultra Ruined.


…..
…….
Words cannot describe how *angry* I am at that place.
They actually gave me the girl who screwed up in the first place. She put MORE on my fringe which was already too light, and STILL ignored the darker area. I didn’t even notice until I got home, because I left with it in a matted mess. The dying has put my hair in really bad condition. Bits keep breaking off when I brush it. It’s *awful*. I look absolutely ridiculous.

While the hair was ‘cooking’, she went and wrote in her training journal.

I have a job interview on thursday, and… I really hope they don’t judge me by my uneven hair and peroxide coloured fringe. It’s a real chip into my confidence. How can anyone take me seriously when my hair looks so horrible? A decent appearance always helps. Urgh.

Oh and then of course, the wedding is a week on saturday. I shall have to duck out of any wedding photos.

Ruined.

I had my hair-dyed yesterday, and it was ruined.
Before I explain things, if anyone lives in Southampton: this was Trevor Mitchell.

I wanted to go from being brown to blonde. I didn’t want it trashy looking so we agreed on ash blonde. One side looks okay, the other is an utter disaster.
It was like she got bored, couldn’t be bothered and gave up halfway through. I even queried her on why one side of my hair had more ‘foil’ (the hair is put into foil sections with the product to dye the hair inside), and I basically had to trust her.
After it was all taken out and washed, she dried it, and said that the fringe was too ‘golden’, so put more product on. Didn’t really help that much, and she didn’t wash it off well either. It was still clogged in the roots of my hair when I left.
I said that the right side of my head looked a lot darker than the other, and she said it was because she’d brushed it all forwards. Liar.

See for yourself.
The fringe looks awful, and brassy coloured. The hair barely looks any lighter than it was originally. I am thoroughly disappointed with it, and it cost a stupid amount of money: £86.
It’s “96 for a FULL hair colour on LONG hair. My hair isn’t long. It’s just below the shoulder. Some might call it SEMI LONG like on their prices. You take £11 off if you’re not getting it cut too, I didn’t get it cut. That brings my amount to MORE than it would be for long hair without a cut. Ridiculous.

I am so sick of getting my hair ruined by the stupid little pixie teenagers hairdressing salons employ. I want someone with experience, and not someone with the IQ of a lettuce staring vacantly into space through her mascara crusted eyelashes while thinking about getting ‘omg illegally wasted’ at a park because she’s only 17 and not old enough to drink.
Yeah, I seem to stereotype people sometimes, but god these people make it so damn easy.

I’ve never liked having my hair cut (only get it done once or twice a year :P ), and have always dyed my hair myself. After this pathetic experience, that isn’t going to change.

I would’ve made a fuss about it then and there, but I’d rather go back on Monday (Which I am going to do) than face a parking ticket since my parking was already 10 minutes over than the 3 hours I paid for.
So on Monday, I am demanding a fix, or a full refund.
