Answer 1

you should go back to the salon and just tell the stylist you were thinking more of your hair was going to be blonde, if you got a full head of foil weave you should be able to see blonde, so maybe she will redo it for you, but this time tell her to weave about 50% of each foil in medium size strands and leave out a 1/4 of an inch of hair in between each foil.. this way you should end up with lots and lots of blondes and dont worry so much about the blonde you got saturday, chances are since you had brown color on your hair its not super blonde anyway, so if some of those get in the foil again it will just lighten a bit more and give you an even better tonal look. Anytime you arent happy with your hair you should go back, most stylist are happy to try again to please you, if you are nice about it too, there may have been a miscommunication in the first consultation, and this stylists may be just great, she could fix it for you and end up being your favortite stylist, but you should at least give her a chance and also you deserve to get what you asked for and paid for even if it takes you one extra trip to the salon.
keep in mind if you get an all over blonde your newgrowth will be showing in a bout 2 weeks, also a bleach bath is so damaging to your hair, and such an old fashioned technique..

Answer 2

Hi

If you prefer the more blonde look you could go back to the salon and ask this time to have thick streaks of blonde. They can do the streaks any thickness you want this way. Everytime you have it done they can add more so eventually it will be really blonde!

Or have a all over dye but then this will be one straight colour!

Or you could ask for a all over dye and then have darker blonde streaks put in.

It depends really on what you want and how much money you have to spend.

Your new hair thou may grow on you in time thou. It sounds nice!

Dying hair myself, i need to tell you that if you are going from brown to blonde you will not in one time get back to the blonde you were. It takes a couple times of full foiling your hair. When you said you wanted a lot of blonde, if she were to make them chunky, then you would still see a lot of brown. She made them small so that when you combed through your hair, they would blend and it would look shades lighter. It takes a couple times. But if you are unhappy, go back in and she will fix it. The hair bizz, is a customer satisfaction guarentee. Next time dont pay, or leave if you are unhappy. Speak up right away or you will lose your credibility there later. Good luck Sweetie.

Answer 4

Phone the lady at the salan and tell them that this is not what you asked for, and that you want to get it fe-done for free or for a discount. The lady on the other end of the phone should ask well who did your hair and tell her the name of the lady that did your hair. If this doesn't work go down to the salon and talk to them yourself, this will show them how much you care about your hair.( I'm a blonde too!!)

Answer 5

you will desire to pass back to the guy who did your hair and tell him which you're no longer chuffed including your highlights,and im beneficial he may be ok and alter it for you,it incredibly is hassle-free to darken highlights to a lesser coloration blonde or easy brown as you like.supply your stylist of project to do the splendid concern.and many times there is not any value in correcting this,even though it certainly relies upon what you have agreed on earlier the provider.goodluck

Answer 6

Go back and get thicker streaks. Or just get a "bleach bath" done. This is where the hairdresser soaks your hair in bleack powder and shampoo. And then they will put a semi permanent colour over the top of it and your natural colour will blend in. I am getting it done tomorrow. My hair is black and it used to be a beautiful red.. i don't know what i was thinking! haha =]

Answer 7

I would imagine you paid quite a bit to have this done. Yes, I would go back and make them fix it until I was satisfied. They are providing a service for which you are paying. You should be happy with the results. If you are not, they should make it right. If they refuse, call the Better Business Bureau and report them.

Answer 8

The same thing happened to me. Everyone told me to call and complain but I didn't dare since she did such a terrible job the first time and it cost me $150.00 to boot!!! So, I just went to the drugstore and bought a semi permanent wash and kept doing it every month until the hair grew out. Good luck.

Answer 9

The best thing to do is leave it like it is. With each shampooing, the brown will get lighter, as will the highlights.

Answer 10

Talk to the actual stylist who did the work, tell him/her you unhappy with the results. Any salon worthy of a good reputation would be glad to adjust the color for you. Talk to the salon owner if you need to, they are registered with Better Business Bureau. Good luck.
