What's the worse???

So what is the worse that has happened to you in a hair salon? Me personally it was when I was in beauty school in the 80's I decided to go from Jet Black to White Blonde and my little band of beauty school friends are gonna help me!! Now when we told the head instructor what we had planed she was like ABSOLUTELY NOT! But one of the other instructors was like I'll help ya do it and so we did it and boy it went wrong in so many ways! First we put off the scalp lightener on my scalp and stuck me under a dryer forever!!!! My head was swelling, boiling and I thought I was going to pass out! When I couldn't deal with the pain anymore we washed my hair a Wa-La!!! My roots were white, but the rest was a lovely shade of peach! And we don't even want to talk about how my hair felt! Slimy wet cotton comes to mind so not cute! Thank God I had short hair if it would have been long I would have lost most of it! So after school we go to the Mall and I look like a damn hot mess, my scalp has blisters all over it and I know when I walk into school the next day I am in deep crap! The next day I walk up to the head mistress I have a hat on and slowly pull it off and when I do she about chokes on her cigarette! (Remember it's the 80's they could smoke in the school) So I ask if she would help me and she said she would but only if I dye it a "Normal" color :/ I wanted to go back to black I mean that is a normal color right? But Hell no it was gonna be crap brown and I was going to take it or look like a damn peach! So we dyed it the crap brown which set my head on fire with all those tiny blisters!!! Oh the Joy!!!! So my hair was turned brown but still felt like gooey cotton but my family was happy because holiday photos where being taken and it was the first time in years I actually had a normal hair color. So pictures were taken and that night I went to the drug store bought a box of blue/black hair color and was right back where I started! Needless to say my teacher told me she would shave my head next time I do something she tells me not to do and my family realized me looking "normal" in the hair world would be far and in between. Now what did I learn? Listen to my teachers? Well sometimes...........I learned what NOT to do when someone wants to go from black to blonde and tell people the truth about what may happen no matter if it means the answer is a No I wont do it because you are gonna look like a peach!!!

It always sucks when you have a bad experience in a salon, it could be a bad cut, color or chemical service and my advice is remember why it was bad and the next time you go to a salon you explain to your stylist what happened so it wont happen again, and if you don't feel that stylist doesn't "Get it" then get the Hell outta there!
