I asked the hairdresser for highlights, but got something else instead

Friends, I went to the hairdresser and only asked for highlights, just to add a bit of liveliness with some subtle touches. But the woman completely lightened my hair color, I look platinum. I was shocked when I saw it in the mirror; I never wanted it to be this yellow. Should I fix this hair or try to wash out the dye, what should I do? Does the hairdresser charge for a mistake like this, does anyone know?

Well, it happened to me too; I clearly said that I didn’t want it, but they did what they wanted anyway. Then I went to another hairdresser for a tone adjustment, and it turned out much better :flushed_face:

Let me be honest, I think you explained the job wrong from the start. Every time we said a light touch, the hairdressers go overboard :roll_eyes:

So, when you saw yourself in the mirror, did you not intervene at all? Did you give the money?

@soncaykaldi I actually didn’t give my money, they said ‘you’ll like it a little more once you get used to it’ and so on, but I also said that I was unhappy.

@ikidakka the whole “you must have done this too” talk is really silly. Even if I explicitly said I didn’t want to, there was no way he was going to listen.

Dark-toned dye can be applied to instantly correct the hair, but very soon, the damage from reapplying chemicals will occur. For a while, it’s better to recover with hair masks and then tone the hair.

This is unacceptable. You should ask for your money back.

I think the hairdresser did it on purpose. Platinum costs more, so even if you didn’t want it, it feels like they sold it to you. :roll_eyes:

@kirmizikazak exactly, this happens a lot. They decide on a color in their heads and just say, ‘this is the trend’ :smiling_face_with_tear:
