tragic story that ruined my senior year of high school, wasted me 1500$ and mental depression.
i would have given it no stars, expect for the stylest who did my hair she was the nicest! of course i know she didnt mean to, but she ruined my hair. not just my hair my senior year of high school.
i went in to get a perm, i have showed them a picture of how i wanted it and they began on my hair. my hair is long( up to my hips) straight and medium thick. expecting petros to be a higher end salon i saved up the 170$ to get it there instead of where my sister had gotten hers for 100$
on her hair they used the acid perm with heat, but on me at petros they used a basic perm which you can purchase at shoppers, they left it in overtime, as she was attending to other customers. when she washed it out, it was like an animal died on my head! it was huge frizzy and well there was no curl just crimps and dents.as well as my scalp was brunt and my ear was irritated and red.
at first i thought maybe they had styled it weird so i decided to go home and style it myself. i got home and closely examined my hair. the whole back crown area broke off! it broke off to around 3 inchs long!!!! and the front around my roots were tiny tiny stubs. when i went to school people asked me why my hair line was receding! it was soo terrible!! two days passed and i was just depressed i cried 2 days straight and didnt even bother going to school, i decided to pay 400$ to get the keratin Brazilian blowout, it helped alot! and the stylest told me to go back and get a refund. when i went back, (with documented picture including a picture of my hair before, a picture of my hair right after the perm and a picture of my hair 3 days after the perm) they said that i didnt have proof it was them who did the damage to my hair, they said it would of been the keratin treatment, and that the picture i showed them was not done with a perm, but with a curling iron. and they had the guts to say "thats how a perm looks like"
first of all, WHY DIDNT YOU TELL ME THAT WHEN I SHOWED YOU THE PICTURE BEFORE THE PERM?!?!?
second of all, WHAT ARE YOU DENYING HERE? I DOCUMENTED EVERYTHING THERE ARE PICTURES..
third of all MY SISTERS PERM LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THIS SHIT.
i didnt even bother arguing i can care less about the 170$ i just wanted my hair back. i know people are like "its just hair, it will grow back" but it took me 5 years to grow it to my current length i was devastated.
two weeks later the whole top layer of my hair has broken off the about 3-5inchs long i looked like i have gotten a mullet hair cut, with tiny pieced of 2cm stubs sticking out everywhere. i ended up getting yet another 400$ treatment to mend some of the damage because my grad trip was coming up to costa rica. i had saved 2000$ to go on this and this perm ruin it. i couldnt even go in the sun or pool or beach as if i did my hair would just snap off. it ruined my graduation pictures and its going to ruin prom. read more
