So helplessy ugly! -pics-

[Shanelle]

So I made a thread about a month ago about dying my black hair a light brown. Well I finally did that and it turned out soooo horrible. It was a disaster to begin with, first she stripped my hair then dyed it and added "blond" highlights at the same time. So when she drys it [and the proceeds to straighten it after all that :sleepyhead:] we see there's splotches of black every where and the higlights are orange. So she bleaches it AGAIN and then re dyes it. Now it's an splochty red color all over, but the roots are wayy lighter so she re dyes the roots.

So basically I end up with bright orange roots [the top of my head] with red hair streaked with bright orange and brown with patches of bright blond everywhere. Plus the second time she bleached it I told her it was burning the top of my head and shes like "oh that's normal" but it didn't hurt that bad the first time she bleached it so I knew something was wrong. I ended up with this huge burnt patch right above my forhead and it's bright red [raw skin] with puss. [Yuck I know] To top it off I had to pay $250 and I was embarrased to walk out into the mall like that. I cried so much and didn't go to work today. It's so frizzy and gross. :scared:

You can see how splotchy it is [although it's soo much worse in real life] the bright brown red in the middle is actually orange and the rest is red..

Again the really light parts are actually bright orange..

Splotchyness at the top and bright blondy roots..

This one shows the true orange/blond of my hair plus the burnt patch. [Top right]

How I wish I can go back in time and have my healthy black hair back.

Awww i am so sorry for what happened!!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I hope things get better and if you have any questions feel free to ask! I have damaged my hair before and trying to grow it out myself and it is so much better than before! I did see a specialist from phyto. And they examined my scalp and hair to see how damaged it really was. My scalp was still healthy and i can't use any chemicals on my hair for 6 months! I am living with my grey for now! Well I feel for you and hope you recovery from this! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

OK I'd complain to everyone and anyone with that salon if I were you. There is no way that you should have to pay so much money for what they did to you. I still can't get over the fact that she ignored you when you said it was burning. You should definitely march right back up there and demand your money back.

AS for your hair..... well take care of that wound first and then you might want to go see a professional who specializes in color correction to see what's possible.

I hope you're feeling better now.

Oh my god I'm so sorry that happened to you...or more like I'm sorry that that woman happened to you! That's a shocker and Ican't believe she charged so much and all the burning and everything! Definitely definitely go back and ask to speak to the highest in charge, like the manager or whatever - show them the damage that has been done - the unevenness, the damaged hair and especially the burn. I'm sure there is some type of legal action you can take - I know that here in New Zealand that if the service you paid for is not up to standard then you are entitled to a refund and/or the business must make an effort to rectify the situation.

Definitely go back and stand your ground - hopefully one of the other workers in the salon will see what a truly terrible, not to mention dangerous, thing was done to your hair, and will be able to help. I think trying to get your $$$ back is safer for you than for them to re-do your hair!

Let us know how you get on, all our thoughts are with you :smile: I still can't believe she bleached/re-bleached/dyed/re-dyed your hair to the extent of you actually getting a burn :10: And you TOLD her so it's gross negligence on her part if you ask me.

Good luck! :7dh:

:hugss:

hi shanelle!u're not alone hun!i dyed my medium brown hair into blue black few dayz back n guess wad?everyone is asking if im wearing a wig!!how dissapointing!!!!!! the color is too dark n thick.I used to have healthy black hair n i did brown highlights 5 months back.Since the highlights are going off, i thought of coloring back to black, thinking i wud get my normal hair color back.Now im washing everyday hoping the black will evetually fade out

Really regretting over it...too late!!!!

i think u should go back to the salon where u did your hair n ask them to redo it for u.

 

[monniej]

oh shanelle, i'm so sorry about what happened. puss? my goodness! maybe you should try to get some type of refund. i just can't believe that she actually expected you to pay for such a horrible job. please take care of your scalp before doing anything else to your hair! orange hair is better than no hair at all! let us know what you decide!

 

[Aquilah]

Agreed! I've damaged my hair to what I felt was beyond repair! Luckily, it's healthier than it's been in ages! I'd definitely go back to the salon and complain! Show them the damage that's been done!

 

[daer0n]

If she ruined you hair you shouldn't have had to pay, i am really sorry this happened to you, but i wouldn't have paid for that! on top of that she caused an injury on you too, so definitely, i wouldn't have paid for it.

I would recomend you go and see a specialist on color correction as well, and see what they say about it.

Don't feel depressed, there is a solution for everything, for now i'd say, let you hair breathe, get a dry hair treatment, and another thing you can do along with this is cut the ends of your hair every now and then, this will stimulate your hair growth as well /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I had a hair disaster more than a year ago, ( cause i bleached my own hair! ) turned out the same as yours and i had nothing left to do but to take better care of it afterwards, and that is what i did. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

$250.00??? I would be standing in that salon waiting on a refund or a redo.

 

[SherryAnn]

If you go back into the salon and ask for the manager, then you show her the top of your head in front of other customers, I GUARANTEE you will get your money back quickly because they don't want their reputation being damaged.

Please go back and let the manager/owner see what happened to you, this can prevent the same thing from happening to some other poor soul. I am so sorry for what she put you through. (((HUGS)))

 

[emily_3383]

That sucks but just dye your hair medium brown if you want to cover it.

 

[LilDee]

I agree! That really sucks and I'm so sorry it happened to you... go get your money back

 

[natalierb]

I'm so sorry! I would definitely get my money back if I were you! Don't worry, your hair is fixable. Go back to that horrid salon and make a scene!

 

[KatJ]

What kinda stylist does that? I agree with everybody, go back and get your money back, and tell them that when your scalp heals up you want someone else there to fix it for free.

 

[Shanelle]

Thanks ladies, but my mom already went with me and they said they couldn't refund my money, but in 6 weeks they can re color it for free. :icon_roll And when mom asked if we could have something saying that, he said "I own the place and my word is good enough." He even tried telling me it looked good! And the lady at the front desk was soo rude.

 

[FearlessBunny]

That's totally unacceptable. The way you were treated is unacceptable. I wouldn't just let it go if I were you. IF you plan on taking legal action take as many pictures as you can to document what they did, especially that spot where they burned you.

 

[Guenevere]

What a slime bag! I say "POO" to that!!!! If someone had told me I couldn't get a refund or even the free visit in writing I'd stand outside the shop on busy days telling all the people walking in and by that I got my hair done by them and ask if they want a closer look!!!!!!! :moa:

 

[niksaki]

oh wow! you know i would be complaining to someone 'higher' up? they have actually not only damaged your self esteem BUT your scalp is burnt! im not saying sue them or anything but i would be seeking professional advice to see if you are able to get your money back at least! and let them scum bags know they cant get away with that crap.

 

[FearlessBunny]

This thing about that is she said that the guy she spoke to was the owner. How do you get any higher then that?
