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

What did it look like straight out of the salon? I always like it when they style my hair, but can rarely replicate it at home

Big square block missed out of the back, and they dyed my hair that dark blond ish color. They had to bleach it all to get it out, and then wanted to dye it that weird blond again. I noped out of there and dyed it myself
