I gots my heerrr did

-let me apologize for the gettho headline, but that's the way I felt in that salon.

I have been wanting to get my hair done since I dont have any of my supplies here to do my hair, and being that I have some gray hair this is a no, no condition for me. Plus I did not want to have to cut my hair again like I did the last time. I did, bangs and all. It was not terrible but sometimes you got to remind yourself you are worth the splurge.


I happen to know someone who works in a Salon here in New york,so I figure I give them a shot.
The first thing that bother me was that they did not have a clue what the ombre look was. If you don't know is ok, but I expected a hair place to know...here it is:

Above is the Red Ombre look, is less maintenance than doing highlights or things of the sorts, plus my hair is super long and I figure since people try so hard to get long hair, doing wigs and all, I wouldn't cut it so short, just give it some shape.

Error #2: they did not use a cape on me. Not only did my arm, shirt and fingers get stained but I got wet too, very unconfortable. I have never seen a salon that did not provide capes. Even cheapos as Super cuts do.

Error #3: they did notdo the hair color properly. My hair is supposed to be lighter in the bottom but is not...the difference between the colors is not noticible and I told her so...still she clain it was. FINE then, do whatever woman.

Error #4: When cutting my hair she barely touch it and I keep telling her to cut more since it was MEGA long...I had to force her to do it, and then she forgot to cut my bangs, which I had to remind her of. (which by the way then she told me they where uneven and long. No shit Sherlock, that's why I told you to cut it). She also kept telling me to get layers which I told her I did not want like 3 times.

Error #5 They did rollers which is not horrible but I don't need them. I have fine straight hair but whatever. Aparently it's a policy they have so when people with very coarse hair dont ask for blown hair. Anyways they where frying my brain with so much heat.

Error #6 When I ask the girl to get the rollers out in a curl instead of getting my hair straight she said sure, then proceeded to take them out and blow my hair straight...what the heck? I told her AGAIN to please make sure I had some waves. She said yes, but did whatever she wanted, including parting my hair in the middle. UFF. Anyways...this is the look (sorry for the crappy pis-I still have no new camera so I took it with an itouch)

The curl you see is from me redoing my hair the day after, and as you can see I do have some curl.
I thought this was supposed to be relaxing. It was not. Ninety dollars later I felt used. My hair and the color is fine, is not bad but is not what I asked for. But they are not going to see me again so they lost more since they lost a client and I would not recomend them.

Have you had any issues in the salon?
Tell me.
