not what i wanted

Appointment verified by SaloniQ Software

I had a 9.30 appointment today. the stylists were confused as to why i was there, even though i had a consultation the week before.
I am quite upset at the end results.
I was talked through the process and showed the inspiration pictures to all the stylists.
the hairdressers said that the style wouldn’t be achievable because of how damaged it was.
I understand and i am a very chill and understanding person. But when i got home my mother looked at it and was absolutely shocked.
my roots have not been done at the back, the blonde is not even in sections as highlights, the colour is very messy.
i’m quite upset as the entire situation seemed rushed.
i left the chair at around 1.30 ish, but i didn’t have to be home by 3pm. there was time but even my hair wasn’t dry when i left.

PLEASE can someone contact me so i can send pictures of my inspiration and what actually happened.
I said i wanted chunky lowlights and highlights but this is so patchy.
The cut from ian was nice, but again i had to ask him to cut my fringe. i did really like him and he was very friendly, but everything seemed rushed.

Unfortunately I do not know the name of the lady who cut my hair today, but it was a walk in appointment on the off chance somebody could help me! The lady was very accommodating, as I did not want my hair washed, even though she advised that's how she worked. She did an amazing job on rectifying my very damaged hair!! I'm aware that I'm an 'awkward customer', as I'm not a big fan of visiting hairdressers, but was made to feel at ease, and would definitely return again! Thankyou so much for helping me 😊

Very unhappy lady was very rushed I understood but it wasn’t a nice experience. Quite rough on hair wash make up ran and knew I was going straight to a wedding no mention of temperature. I was told as a new client I would pay half price but I didn’t. Hardly anything cut off, no attention to detail and the fringe was not even done that we’d discussed. I’d asked for a wave with straighteners but she curled with tongs very unhappy experience. The lady was on her own not ideal but I wouldn’t go back
