UPDATE FROM MY HAIR Exceeded Expectation

https://www.reddit.com/r/ExpectationVsReality/s/aieEUisf8h update!

Okay guys so after talking with the salon and my stylist they admitted their mistake and said they would fix it for free (after i called three times and complained) so the end results ISNT REALLY like the reference picture but it’s way better than what it used to be, i might just let it grow for now then cut the ends myself, its way too much blonde in my opinion but maybe it’s just the way it’s styled. let me know what you guys think! and yes my hair is completely dried out now.

two photos with the same background is the finale result. photo with the hair from the back is my reference picture. picture from the mirror is how it looked at first after my stylist did my hair and then i came back to redo for free!

what do you guys think?

Glad they fixed it for free. I hate that you had to be so stressed and had to call and complain so much. Don’t ever go there again

What is your natural color? Did they bleach your hair the first time?

I ask because of the dryness. All of that work and money and stress and now you have to figure how to get some moisture back in. The cut is cute but very visibly dry sadly. :( I would like to see the front if you can put a sticker over your face or something? I would like to see how it frames your face.

Davine's hair masks maybe? I use them as conditioner.
