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 ), 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.

I was watching a report on the TV during lunch today, where they were showing the behaviour of some drivers along a stretch of road within a day.
It was a speed camera operated by a person inside a clearly marked van, and they were noting down the people breaking the speed limit etc. They showed a few videos:
- One man was putting a jumper on while doing around 80mph in his car
- Another in a large estate car put his brakes on so hard after noticing the parked van that he crashed into the barrier and nearly caused an accident with three other cars. No doubt the car was a complete write off, and I bet he was still fined after being caught by the speed camera in the van.
- Another car also brakes from doing 126mph down to around 100mph.

It got me thinking while I was driving back from a few errands how in actuality, car manufacturers and such don’t do much to stamp down on speeding. My Corsa which grumbles at me when I do 70mph, apparently can do up to 140mph. … Since when does a car need to go that fast? By law, you can’t do more than 70mph on the motorway…. so why have cars that can do twice that speed? What is the point?
With all the technological advances within the past decade, why not invent some sort of device that limits the speed someone can do on a certain road? We have GPS, people can figure out which road you’re on if you’ve broken down, so why not use it so tell a car not to go above a certain speed limit? All new cars could be fitted with something, and despite criminals probably removing such devices, it might actually help. With all the new technology these days, the government etc aren’t doing nearly as much as they could be doing in order to stop people speeding so much.
