Hair Vent WITH PICS

Original post by Espo22

Ok so tonight im going out and since i never really do anything with my hair i said you know what im gonna go get it done also since i have to mail the extensions back this weekend thought it'd be a good opportunity...Well i go to this salon that i know a couple of girls who go there and at one wedding we went to this one girl did her hair there and i loved how it came out and she said it was also only $25 so i go there today...Well i bring in my pics from the trial, i even said i dont want it real curly, i like the curls to be more towards the bottom. Throughout the process i said not too curly dong do it to the top, i cant see the back but i can tell it was a bit too curly...then they get to the front and i say please especially in the front DONT curl it to the top just the bottom, I even pulled out the pic from the trials again for the 2nd or 3rd time, they say yeah dont worry it wont be bc after we curl it were gonna loosen it up, so im like OH OK...I even noticed that they were taking small strands to curl and i said, can you take bigger pieces, they kept saying how it wont last if the pieces are too big, i said its ok bc i dont want it too curly...then they get to the top part and start curling and right away i say no bc the top needs to be teased up a little or else the extensions will show, he said yeah im just doing the base but the other guy is gonna do the top part and he'll do that(yes i had someone do half my head, then another person, then the first guy again) he take a blow dryer and on top starts straightening it a little so im thinking ok hes going to do what i asked him, again i take the picture out, which i hate doing bc i hate being a pain but sooooooooo many times ive kept my mouth shut and then regretted it later. Ok so then hes done, the top part is not teased at all and guess what, on the sides you can see the extensions, he goes to take a chunk and just put it over it, uhmmmm that works if i barely move my head, no wind blows and i dont dance. But at this point i realize im talking to myself...the best part is i go to pay, now the girl who had her hair done for a wedding the way i wanted it today, paid about $25-30...i got charged $65, i would not have done my hair if it was that much, especially not for any real occasion.

Honestly, every single time ive gone to places to do something like this, or do my hair in anyway besides cutting or cutting which i have somebody for, they always mess up and NEVER get it right...i dont care if it does look nice, its not what i want...I just thank god i found LIW that made me find claudia pedala bc that is the ONLY time it ever came out exactly how i wanted, even better, and she listened...At first i was like hmmmm its a bit expensive but everytime i saw her do curls for other girls it was EXACTLY what i wanted and now im like you know what im glad bc the money is worth not dealing with this aggrevation and having peace of mind. Honestly with the fact that i never have success with how ppl do my hair i wouldve probably spent more on going from trial to trial

SORRY for the long vent but its annoying...and does this look anything like the hair trial i have

I hate when they don't listen. I usually don't like to make a scene, so I know I wouldn't have done it..but it would have been great if you took the pic of your trial and put it side by side with what they did and asked them if it looked the same..it would have been funny just to hear their answer.

Even though it's not what you wanted, you look gorgeous!!

OMG, the same thing happened to me when I went to get my hair cut in the city. The price was posted much lower than what they charged me and when I said ummm what doesnt that price mean they said oh starting at that price. I was soooo pissed.

Though I must say you still look great! I curl my hair a lot with low curls, kinda the sexy bed head look. lol, let me know if you ever need me to curl it for you! On the house!

yeah it looks nothing like my trial lol

yeah now im wondering if the girl who told me it was about $25-30 knew somebody there or what. They didnt have prices posted for anything like this...it was all cuts, color, make up, and then wedding day hair but no updo's, curls or anything.

but thank you

Haha! Im the same with makeup. I do the moisturizer with a tint and sunscreen and a little bronzing powder on the cheeks and slap on some mascara and lip gloss and Im out the door. I can not do smoky eyes at all! I should take a class on it!

Re: Hair Vent WITH PICS

I HATE THAT TOO!!!

At my e-party I explained 19387987 times to the girl how I wanted my hair done.. just to spend $80.. come home .. wash it and do it myself!!

Why be a stylist if you are just going to do what you want and not what the client does?!

Sorry that happened to you!

Re: Hair Vent WITH PICS

Anytime I go to get my hair cut or colored or styled it NEVER comes out the way I ask them to do it, so I know how you feel. And paying more money than what you were expecting to pay only makes it that much more aggravating. But, on the bright side - you look very pretty!

THat sux that you didnt get the style you wanted but it looks good, it would suc even more if you didnt get the style you wanted and looked bad. Hair dressers do the opposite what what the client says, Like when I tell them 'cut only a 1/2 an inch' and they end up cutting 2, where as artists def listen to what you want and do it exactly. I still have my extentions, I have to send them out soon, good thing you mentioned it

I hear you!! It isn't whether it looks nice or not, it's that they didn't listen to you!! And for $65, they should have!!!

In any event, you look gorgeous, as usual!!!
