r/AskHairstylists

Hi guys. I am wondering if I should ask for this to be fixed. It is pretty but it is not what I asked for. Here is my hair, and the picture I showed the stylist. This is just about the blonde. I got my hair cut by a razor specialist, and went to someone else for color. I asked for blonde just like this picture. I liked the placement and I liked the amount of blonde. We talked about how there would not be as much contrast as the model because she has darker hair which I completely understand. I also understand my hair is much thinner than this and is a different length. I felt like the stylist took the thinnest sections to foil around the face and did like one thin layer of foils underneath in the back.... Should I ask her to do more? Idk really what to do

I can't afford to get my hair redone and idk if getting a correction without charging is a thing and I also don't know how to ask for that. She also toned me in a way where what she bleached was almost the same color as my natural. The photo here is after one wash, so I know it will lighten a little more. I just feel like there is no where near as much blonde as I was asking for and I was expecting something more drastic. I paid $160 for color ( no cut) and tipped 20% on top of that. Would it be wrong for me to ask her to change it no charge? How do I even ask that? I hate confrontation

I baby my hair - satin everything (pillow cases, lining in shower cap, hair towel), shower filter, scalp care, high quality products, bond repair, conditioners, oils, frequent trims, minimal heat, protective styles when I wear it up, etc. I also eat incredibly healthy, and j get regular bloodwork. The worst things I do re getting balayage (minimal lift) about twice a year, sometimes partial baby lights once more, and I swim a lot in the summer, but I wet my hair, coat it in conditioner and oil, and rinse out immediately (shower caps tug at my hairline). There’s no reason my entire head of hair should have this much breakage!

The only thing I can come up with is that last time I got balayage, the shampoo girl seemed to use a light conditioner and then went wild roughly towel drying my hair. So. Much. Friction.

I have OCD, and I haven’t been able to stop obsessing and checking in the mirror for a solid month. It’s all I think about. I’m going back to get a gloss this week, and I absolutely adore my hair stylist. What do I ask for in terms of help with this breakage, and what else can I do on my own? I’m using k18 as directed (past the initial stage and now on maintenance) as well as Epres. No matter what conditioning products I use, it’s sooooo dry, and it wasn’t like this before. I’m really sad. All the flyaways all over my head are split ends too, but I don’t want to shave my head! I’m trying to grow out my hair as is, and it’s down to my boobs. I’m trying to get it past my ribs. Also, this isn’t regrowth. I had smooth minimal flyaways before, and now this after. Help!

I paid over $1,000 or 1,151.44 to be exact. total for two highlight sessions for what to just come out not being blonde? first session we had done a color correction and we discussed how i don't like my orange and red tones and would like some highlights and that's what i'm paying for, i get i did have some hair industry with box dyes and that's why i paid 560$ my first session to do hair mask and a color correction and even out my hair with the patches and i felt good after my first session but my second session i specifically said i wanted bold blonde highlights because that's what i came for and we started with a full head of highlights and the pieces that were being pulled from the foil were a beautiful gold blonde so i trusted the process thinking i would get what i wanted and what we discussed and what was promised to be brighter not more orange. and I left with results that still look very dark and not what I requested. I asked for bold blonde highlights, and I don't feel the final result matches what we discussed. I'm really disappointed and would like to talk about if i should ask for a refund ?

Pic 1-2 desired results 3-5 current color

I’ve been trying to achieve this kind of muted red color. The formula I used was 1-3 parts 8N to 8CG chi ionic hair color with a ribbon of 6RR. I had some 6RR leftover from a previous color I had.

The color I got was more golden than I wanted. It’s so close to being what I want but how can I tweak this to make it more reddish than gold/orange?

Looking for similar

Hi! I’ve been with the same hairstylist for about two years but I’ve been noticing that my hair ends up looking like this after a week or two after the appointment. I love her so much and i don’t know if it’s a normal thing or how to address it. I did it once before and she set up a toner appointment for free and I felt so bad, and this time it happened again. When I get out of the salon it looks amazing so I don’t know it could go this bad after two weeks

Any recs would be great!

The third image with the red hair is basically what I have now, except it's a bit less bright now. How can I achieve the first image colour?

My thought was to just put like a blue-black dye over it as I imagine the warmth of the red will still show through some and neutralise it. The second pic is also an acceptable result but it's slightly cooler than I would prefer.

Will a blue-black be too dark? Should I opt for a violet-black instead?

I do not want red hair

Last week I went to the hairdressers for a trim and some face framing. They asked if I wanted some layers for volume, and I said yes. However, they cut some very very short layers which are not blended well into the rest of my hair. It looks like half of my hair has been cut off halfway through my haircut. I'm very upset and I don't know what to do. I can only put my hair into a ponytail and even then the damage is very visible. What should I do? What are some hairstyles I can try? How do I make my hair grow faster so I can put this behind me?

I have been to the same hairdresser 3 times, and the first two times I liked my haircut. This time I asked for the same exact cut and even showed her a picture of the first time she did it so she would know exactly what I meant. I wanted long, well-blended or hidden layers, and I specifically said I needed to be able to put it in a ponytail because I work out a lot. I left with choppy, uneven, unblended layers, and while I can get some of it into a low pony the layers are too short to reach the ponytail. I went back and the salon owner fixed the uneven lengths, but the layers are still just horrible. I got a refund, and I want to go somewhere else to get it fixed, which will mean it will be even shorter, unfortunately. I don’t know what to ask for to fix this, though. Am I just being too sensitive?

I wouldn’t mind bleaching the front of my hair, but I don’t know if I want to commit to a full head bleach. Could I recreate this with extensions? Tape in or otherwise!

First 2 pics are what I asked for, last 2 are what I got.

Ok I went to a supposedly reputable salon that even has their own extension line to have my hair lightened and extensions installed.

I wanted a blended look and my hair was dark to start off with so I had reasonable expectations. I actually wanted a darker root, just lighter at the ends and I brought in pictures of this. I did say I wanted it as light as possible on the ends.

So she foils my hair and as I’m processing she puts a warm towel that they use a steam towel on your neck while shampooing, she puts one of these on my head and another dry towel on top of that. She checks on me and switches out the towels. She then tones my hair 2 separate times. I was sitting at the shampoo bowl for what seemed like forever.

Then we get done and she starts drying my hair, it’s light at the roots which I didn’t like, I said this but she brushed it off saying the extensions would make it look like my picture. I don’t know I’m not a professional so I trust her.

She then picks out the extension hair, I immediately say I don’t like it, I do not like how it’s striped looking. I wanted something very blended not harsh chunks of different colors she again claims it will all tie together. Once the first row is installed I look in the mirror and again state I do not like it. I was like do not put anymore of that hair on my head I don’t like it, I don’t like what’s in already it’s not what I wanted.

So I finally get her to install the rooted hair I wanted on the top row. She finishes it styles it and I go to pay and there’s some huge issue with my card not running I have to call the card company who still claims they never tried to run the card but anyways it’s this huge ordeal I have to get money sent and transfer to a different card but whatever I pay 1730. I tell them when I’m leaving I don’t like how my hair looks it’s not what I wanted and I want to know when I can come in to have it fixed.

The next day when I’m looking at my hair I’m just so upset it’s not at all what I asked for like I’m upset, I message the salon asking when they can fix it. Long story short I end up going to two different salons and paying a total of another 1000 to fix this work ok, I have to get k tips to try and blend it..I was at this other salon an entire day basically.

I send pictures to the first salon they tell me that’s not my hair. I sent them the receipt for the other salon and asked for a refund they are refusing to refund my money.

I filed a complaint with the state board and now they are saying they will only refund me if I contact them and say I lied about my hair being burned off.

I just want to know if this looks like work that costs 1730.

Hi everyone! For the past few weeks i've been wanting to dye my hair (live box dye colour ruby glaze) but i realise that my colour is so uneven (thanks to lovely people on here) that i'm going to have to bleach it.

I have black box dye left over on the mids/ends as well as some purple which I believe is completely gone now. However you can see that my regrowth (up until 4 inches away from the roots) is all my natural colour.

I do a hair mask once a week, use heat protector every time I use any sort of heat. Is this healthy enough to bleach in a couple weeks time? If not what can I do to get it healthier?

Hello!

I just got my hair completely bleached for the first time today at the salon. They used some toner but evidently it’s still very yellow. While on its own I can see it being pretty, I’d much rather have a cooler toned base than a yellow one. Here’s some photos of my hair now and some pics of where I’d like to be. Please give toner/developer recs! I am very new to this all and eager to learn :)

Hi everyone. Growing up I was a very blonde haired child, and over the years my hair has gotten considerably darker, but I’ve always considered my hair to be dirty blonde, but my boyfriend constantly tells me my hair is brown, so I asked some friends who also told me my hair is brown. I figured the best people to ask would be people who actually work with hair and know hair colors. Am I right and my hair is dirty blonde, or am I one of those people who used to have blonde hair but now has brown hair and are living in denial?
