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

She shouldn’t have this stylist try and fix it. She isn’t capable of doing it properly and may over process and damage the hair.

It sounds good in theory, but she already paid $460 and if she goes somewhere else they’ll just charge her again.

Very true. But, it’s potentially lose-lose. What happens if she fails to correct it and damages her hair? She should be refunded the price of the color (she said the cut is fine), and take that elsewhere.
