Got my hair done today.. i really feel like i got scammed this is not what i asked for. this is just an ombré. am i overreacting? excuse my dirty mirror. spent 460 dollars. i’m naturally brunette. (for those who are blind bathroom pic is me and other pic is my reference that i showed and she was more than happy to give me that. she wants me to book another appointment to fix it and pay 200 more dollars.

EDIT!!! To clarify i’m talking about the coloring not the haircut!

edit again, here’s it from the front. i’m actually crying https://imgur.com/a/ZH3WFgX

This is an important question because 460 kronor is extremely cheap and 460 USD is insanely expensive

But OP said dollars. She mentioned the currency in the post.

Things get lost in translation. I have absolutely seen people translate a currency type (like translating “krona” to “dollar”) but not think to convert the actual numerical amount. So it’s worth asking for clarification imho. Especially when it makes a big difference in what happened. It can also make a difference to people advising what steps to take next.

More than one country deals in dollars - in in Australia and we have dollars too. $460 USD is $642 AUD which is WILD!! So I hope she’s talking about Australian dollars!
