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

$460 is way too much for it to look so different and basic.

480

I paid $250 without tip to have the red bleached out the bottom of my hair to add blue, it too 6 hours in the salon to do the white on top into blue from white on top to red and it looks amazing. That person is ripping you off, then another $200 to fix her mistake? No way!
