FIX IT HAIR APPOINTMENT

 It's the second chance to get it right!

The second chance at leaving the hair salon happy.

Gosh I hope this works.  And they don't ruin my hair in the process!

I've found a photo on the blog of my hair after it was done... years ago... that I loved.


ABOVE:  That photo was taken back in 2014, when I had so much more hair!!!   It's freakin sad how it's thinned out so much since then.


That's life for ya.  So much changes.  But anyway, that's the blonde I want again.  Let's see if they can get it right today.

ABOVE:  These are the three Wall Hangings I have to work on over the next few days.  So much stitching!  They will look lovely once finished.

Right, I better go make the bed, put on some washing etc.  Then go to the hair salon.

WISH ME LUCK!


...  It's now 9.06 am.  I'm feeling so nervous.  What if they are cross with me and make me feel horrible?  Or they completely fuck up my hair?

I had nightmares about my hair snapping and falling out!  OMG.  SO ... NERVOUS.

That blue wig might come in handy.  😂😖😰
Gotta leave in 10 minutes.  Shitting bricks.

It's 11.25 am.
I've been home for about 25 minutes.  
Trying not to cry... again.

I sat with my head over a basin for an hour and a half while they put this and that on my hair.
When they took the towel off and I saw it, I KNEW it was not going to be good.

The girl dried it and asked me what I thought.  I told her it was not what I asked for, and I just wanted to leave.
She asked me if they could do anything else to 'fix' it, I just said no, you will ruin my hair.

I will NEVER go back to Fox Hair Salon.

ABOVE: How in the fuck do you call that BLONDE, or anything like the photo I showed them of my hair in the photo I put up this morning?  It now just looks completely fucked up.

It is no better than it was before.  OMG the grey looked better!!!

Clearly there is no point going back again.
I will just have to put up with it for about 6 months, then try somewhere else.  And what an utter waste of money.

ABOVE:  And.... back up in a bun, cos there's no way I'm wearing that shit down.
I'm actually gobsmacked that a salon specialising in Blonde could do such an incredibly BAD JOB.

And now I have to move on.  Like when the hairdresser chopped all my hair off a while ago, I have to accept what is done is done, and move on.

It is a beautiful day out there, so I shall fling open all the windows and give the house a nice air out.
Then I will sort out a plate for this evening's Card Night in Cambridge.

I thought long and hard about it, and then I sent another email off to the hair salon.  Saying how disappointed I still was, that I thought the new, corrected colour was NOT what I asked for and that I now wanted COMPENSATION.  
I do not want them to try and 'fix' it again as it will ruin my hair.  It has to be left now for months until I can get it done somewhere else.

On a really positive note... the ITCH FROM HELL has gone from a 10+ to a measly 4.   Thank GOD.

I have felt deflated all afternoon.  Not in the mood to do anything.
So I did............... NOTHING.
Played some cards on me computer.
Watched a couple of tv programmes.
Talked to the dogs.
Had lunch.
Made a plate for Card Night.
Scratched me itch.  (Just a bit)
Looked at my hair a thousand times and swore even more.

I hope this evening is fun, cos if it's not I am going to be even crabbier than I am right now.

I really, really hate being cranky.  Particularly when there is nothing you can do about it.  Except suck it up.

10.10 pm:  Card Night was really neat tonight.  So many laughs.  Lovely company.  It isn't even about the card game for me, it's the socialising.  Bex was a HUGE source of hilarity tonight, we all spent a considerable amount of time laughing our heads off thanks to her.  TMI:  She had to 'go' to the bathroom.  The second lady after her nearly died from the stench.  Too funny.  
Well, we thought it was.  😂💩😅

I just had a very yummy hot drink, and will be heading off to bed soon.
Catch ya tomorrow.

  3. Take that photo with you and tell them this is the colour I want.

  4. It will be okay, bring some pics so they know what look you are after. They should be able to handle a "redo". I would certainly hope so!

    You are right Chris that colour really suits you - You have Celebrity hair right there gorgeous, I know you mentioned it has thinned but if you can get that colour again - I think it will look fabulous you with your blue eyes. Maria (Australia)

  6. Not sure what they were thinking Chris. Your hair isn’t quite as gray but it definitely isn’t blond. The look on your face says it all

    I would actually call consumer affairs and make a complaint. You might be able to prevent this happening to someone else. You should be compensated to go to someone else to give you what you asked for x

    Oh Chris, so sorry you are disappointed again. You can’t seem to win with hairdressers! Not sure if it will help or if you already use it, but would washing and conditioning using the purple blonde shampoo and conditioner help in the meantime until it’s time to try again to get what you ask for!

    Lordy - what part of blond do they not understand? I know this is so frustrating for you and I wish I could give you a tight hug. Ky Girl

  11. Spread the word Chris. I see very little difference in your hair. Hugs and love.

  12. Ok, Wow. That salon really DOES suck.
    Now it looks like some of the gray washed out and some remained. It is the exact same gray color, but with light brown patches. Be sure to include photos in your complaint. Especially these two pics. AND the photos of the color you wanted! Is there a "before" pic from before the first color? I do not think it is any blonder than prior to you ever setting foot in the door. It looks fine so don't panic. But it looks like you never had it colored at all. I HATE stuff like that. I mean... .THEY screwed up. But confrontation and complaining is stressful. I am sorry. What a fiasco! And so disappointing.

  13. I think that photo you put up taken a few years ago is maybe too blonde but shit, considering what you pay, you should get what you asked for!

    I differ to everyone else I like it! A lot of people are going similar colours in fact my hairdresser has streaks of a similar tone. But if it’s not what you wanted let them know! Anne Palmy

    Sorry you are disappointed. I wondered what they were going to be able to do. Once it was done the first time, I wasn’t sure how much redoing was safe.

    At least it looks good up. It might also look good braided. The time will go quickly.

    Please try to figure out a way of knowing the color before you go the next time. Like maybe pictures, and them just coloring a small section so you can see it. Where did you go before that did a color you liked?

    1. I told the stylist I wanted to be BLONDE with no yellow tones. How simple is that? BLONDE is blonde. Not grey. Not ash. Not whatever the hell she did. She will never get the chance to do my hair again, that's for sure.

      Blonde with no yellow tones can be taken as an ash gray colour. There are many tones to being blonde and an ashier colour may be required when you ask for no yellow tones. Most shades of ‘blonde’ do have some warmth in them :)

    3. I showed her the photo of me with BLONDE hair (above at the start of my post)... how can you mistake THAT for what she did? It was very clear what colour I wanted.

    Don’t like that new colour at all Chris. Your hair looks very dry (not sure if it is, to me it looks wiry). Think next colour you need to be very specific, clearly “I don’t want yellow” is not enough, you need to tell them what you DO want. Sorry you feel like this, I would too. I have very very short hair, and believe me...they can get that wrong too. Marie, Melbourne

  19. I actually like it 🥰 ... better than the grey but it suits you more than the blonde in my humble opinion 😘.

  20. Ohhhh that’s sucks balls I love the blonde it’s vivacious fun loving in ya face vavoom.
    What you got not once but twice is no way in hell blonde, fair go or big laminated pictures sit outside the salon with PLACARDS saying you want blonde hair
    Like mine then don’t come here or do a video poll of asking people in the street what colour they think it is.? And do a Facebook post tagging them in it.
    Publicity will not be there friend.

  21. Well shit that sucks :( You'd think a hair salon would know how to make hair blonde!
