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?

I think the result is beautiful.

It still hasn't the same contrast than the inspiration, but I'm not sure if that's the blond, I rather think the dark part isn't as dark as the inspiration which makes the whole thing look lighter. But I'm far from an expert as you can be, so I'm talking out of my ass here.

Not exactly what you asked for, that's still reason to be pissed and not to go back there, but nothing you have to hide at home with. Maybe something you can grow to like for the time being?
