Hi everyone,
I'm having a major hairdresser crysis and I need some advice...
Background: I've been seing the same hairdresser since I was 13, 9 years ago! I have had GreatLengths extensions 3 times in the last year. I go to the salon each Monday to have my hair straightened, and once each 4 weeks to touch up my platnum blonde color. So basically I spend a LOT of $$ there.
Last time when I was having my extensions done, I noticed that the glue was much whiter than ever before. I was scared that it would glow in the club under the black lights, so I asked my hairdresser if it would glow, if it was different than last time. (They didin't know I am a dancer). I asked twice and I said it was very very important that the glue did not glow in the dark, and he reassured me that it would definetly not glow.
Well I go to work in September the day after I had the extensions done, and sure enough, girls are running up to me like 'Oh my god whats wrong with your hair, the glue is glowing girl!'. Even my boss was like 'Baby, what the fuck is in your hair?? You need to fix it honney'.
So I tell the salon the next day, and my hairdresser is all like 'I can't believe this, I'll call the company and order some hair that does not glow and we'll fix it at no charge, of course".
Then September passes, and the salon says the hair is on back order. October. No Hair. November. No hair. (By this time I'm hearning at least 4x a night about how I have 'rice' in my hair from customers). December. No hair.
Until last week, when I was told that they had finally recieved the hair, but the only free part would be the replacment of the half of the extensions with the glowing problem. Which means that I have to pay $500 for the 2 bundles of brown hair that got mixed in as low-lights and did not glow. Plus they charged me $90 to take out the glowing extensions.
I'm more loyal to my hairdresser than any boyfriend or brand of tampon - I never cheated on him in 9 years. But I feel like I got totally ripped off this year, and I think I'm going to switch.
I can either go back to where I got ripped and pay about $500 to have it done (basically half free)- but I hate it there now and i feel bitter, or I can go to a new salon and pay $1000 for the whole head.
Whaddya think?
