My Awful Hair Appointment!

I truly don't enjoy getting my hair done. I'm the type that drags my feet about making an appointment. I now have a salon that does standing appointments made weeks in advance. I still haven't decided if I like that or not!

I made an extra appointment on this past Wednesday aside from my standing appointment. I'm still attempting to get my hair color back to it's natural shade. At the beginning of my appointment the stylist had her idea as to what she should do color-wise. Then the supervisor came over and told us a truer longer lasting color could be achieved if a pre-color toner was used first. Meaning there would be two treatments: pre-color toner then the color.

As it turned out the color did not cover-up the color of the toner that was used so they had to do the color twice. I had the stylist and her supervisor working on my hair at the same time. The reason they said the toner was not being covered properly by the color is that the stylist mixed the toner incorrectly. After all the treatments my hair is not at all near my true hair color. They wanted to do more stuff to get my hair to it's natural color but I was tired of being there. My appointment was at noon and I didn't leave the salon until a little after 6:00 pm. By far the longest hair appointment I've ever had!!!!! Not to mention the worst hair appointment I've ever had!!!!

I know I was only sitting in a chair for the majority of the time spent there but I was completely exhausted afterwards. I felt almost like I typically feel after sitting in the car driving for hours upon hours! That same type of tiredness set in. Now my dilemma is what to do to my hair next. I hate the color it is but I don't want to damage my hair by having too much done to it in a short period of time. Will I ever return to that salon? As much as I would like to not return I also believe they should be the ones to fix their mistake. I plan to spend this week rebuilding my hair then towards the end of the coming week I will decide what to do. Geesh!!!

I must say this...there have been 2 times over the years that I have agreed to a pre-color toner. Both times did not produce good results. Never again will I allow any stylist to do a pre-color toner!!! No way! In both instances for me the toner has altered the results too much!
