So I begin this adventure by saying this. I used facebook messenger asking about a blonde specialist. Whoever responded, wrote that "Annie" is highly recommended. So a few days later I drove to the salon to meet "Annie" and to show her my hair since I already had an inch of blonde ends with 3 inches of new growth which was naturally dark brown hair. "Annie" states that she has no problem and she would be delighted to do my hair. So I made an appointment two weeks later. It was over a year that I had lost some of my hair due to being on thyroid medication and some when I tried to bleach my hair. When the day came to get my hair done, I was very excited to finally rid of the dark hair and have extensions put in. So I'm finally in the chair, "Annie" foiled my hair as we chit chatted about everything from guys to different bands we saw, she seemed very down to earth. After about 30 minutes, my hair was rinsed and toned, and when I walked back to the chair and sat down in front of the mirror, my hair was bright orange, and my blonde ends were blue-green. I knew she didn't leave the bleach on long enough, but she kept coming over and checking so she should have seen that she should have left the bleach in longer. I should have known and shouldn't have let her do my hair when "Annie" said she likes challenges. So she says that she has to foil me again and this time, instead of using 30 volume, she's going to use 40 volume and told the washer to use clarifier on my ends to remove the toner. "Annie" foiled me again and he bleached over some of the hair that was already blonde! The second time "Annie" put me under the heat and again, she kept coming over looking at the progress, and after about 15 minutes, I was rinsed and toned. When I sat back in the chair, my blonde ends still had a blue-green tint to them, and the top of my hair went from bright orange to a lighter orange mixed with a yellow banana color. At this point, I knew that I made a huge mistake letting her do my hair, and that "Annie" IS NOT A BLONDE HAIR SPECIALIST!!!
"Annie," said I would have to come back because she didn't want to compromise my hair. As I'm sitting in the chair looking at the mess, the ditsy receptionist came over to me and asked if I minded cashing out. I was charged 550 dollars!! The prices aren't in public view, so I guess they make up the prices as they go along, I was never told how much the services were going to be. As "Annie" began to blow drying my hair and twice I had to duck and pull away because she had the heat on so high, she was burning my scalp! After she was done, she began to brush my hair and got upset and told me that I should have never bleached my hair. Again, I explained that it had been over a year ago and that everything that was yellow and orange was her doing and that the blue-green hair was because she didn't put anything on them before she toned the hair. I couldn't believe she was blaming me for her fuck up. The only portion of my hair that was beautiful was the extensions that I helped put in. I had been at the salon for four hours, and I was walking out with clown hair!
About a week later, I went to the salon to speak with the owner, Liz. When I got there, she asked what the problem was as she sat me down in the chair. I was like, hello, look at my flipping hair!! She then asked if she could bring "Annie" over so she could explain what she did and when she came over, she states, what's going on? I'm like, are they okay, are they looking at something different than what I'm seeing? "Annie" was very defensive, the owner advised me that "Annie" was the best colorist and that she would pay for a color to be put into my hair. Then "Annie" says that she's going to pick up a special bleach made just for my hair and that she will do an Olaplex treatment on my ends and added more bullshit to her salesman pitch. I'm saying to myself, do you think I'm that stupid and do you think you'll ever touch my hair again? When I explained to Liz that I used to go to a hair stylist who would get my hair blonde all in one sitting, (profile pic) she didn't believe me and wouldn't even look at the pictures I had. "Annie" had dark blue streaks in her hair and told me that she loves adding funky colors to people's hair. Oh and I almost forgot to mention, I gave "Annie" a hundred dollar tip to boot and why did I you ask? Well, I'm just not that way but I shouldn't have given her anything!
