HOWEVER, I LATER DECIDED TO LET THEM HANDLE THE COLOR BECAUSE IT WAS GETTING TO BE TOO MUCH OF A JOB FOR ME WITH THE EXTREME LENGTH.I WANTED LIGHT BROWN HAIR.
FROM MY NATURAL DARK BROWN HAIR.
I BROUGHT IN 2 PICS FOR THE STYLIST TO LOOK AT TO KNOW FOR CERTAIN WHAT MY GOAL WAS. FIRST I JUST HAD THEM DO JUST A ROOT TOUCH UP. I COULD NOT TELL ANY CHANGE IN COLOR WHATSOEVER. I REALLY WAS, OBVIOUSLY, NOT IMPRESSED.
AND FOR THIS I PAID OVER $100 DOLLARS FOR.
NOT HAPPY WITH THAT-
I TRIED TO FIX THE ROOT COLOR MYSELF- AND ALTOGETHER GOT THE OVERALL COLOR WRONG, AND WENT TO THEM TO FIX THE WHOLE OF THE COLOR. I MENTIONED "HIGHLIGHTS" ALONG WITH AN OVERALL BASE COLOR LIGHTENING UP. AGAIN, I JUST WANTED IT TO BE A LIGHT BROWN HAIR. WITH MAYBE SOME ADDED HIGHLIGHTS. THINKING THAT THEY WOULD FIRST FIX THE BASE COLOR PROBLEM, THEN MAYBE ADD SOME HIGHLIGHTS ACCORDING TO MY PREFERENCES.
I GOT A HAIRSTYLIST NAMED, "SHIRLEY", AND SHE DID NOTHING BUT 2 PROCESSES OF FOIL HIGHLIGHTS TO ME.
THIS COST ME OVER $200 DOLLARS ALTOGETHER.
MY HAIR LOOKED LIKE A BABY-CHICK. AND SHE SAID WE WERE FINISHED. MY LOOK WAS COMPLETE. AND I TOLD HER THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED. AND THAT I THOUGHT I LOOKED LIKE A SKUNK. BECAUSE THE LIGHT PART OF MY HAIR WAS ENTIRELY TOO LIGHT, AND THE DARK REMAINING PART OF MY HAIR WAS ENTIRELY TOO DARK. SO BETWEEN THE 2 CONTRASTS-
I, IN ALL FACT, LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE A SKUNK.
SHE SAID SHE WOULD FIX IT FREE-OF-CHARGE STARTING A WHOLE WEEK OUT FROM THAT VERY DAY.
HOW WONDERFUL I NOW HAVE TO WAIT A WEEK FOR YOUR MISTAKES, THAT YOU CHARGED ME FOR...
HERE I AM LOOKING ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS FOR ALMOST THE ENTIRE MONTH OF AUGUST 2008 (FUN SUMMER-TIME, RIGHT?)
ALL THIS TIME WAITING ON HER TO FINALLY JUST DO WHAT I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR, SHOWING HER IN PICTURES,
AND PAYING DEARLY FOR (OVER $300 DOLLARS-WORTH ALL ALTOGETHER).
BUT, ALSO, THE OVERALL HEALTH OF MY HAIR HAS BEEN IRREPAIRABLY DAMAGED FROM THE DOUBLE-FOIL PROCESS THIS SALON AND "SHIRLEY" PERFORMED ON ME. THIS PROCESS SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN DONE IN THE FIRST PLACE TO ME. LET ALONE TWICE.
"SHIRLEY" DID NOT CARE FOR ME AS SHE SHOULD HAVE,
AND VERY REGRETABLY OFFERED HER SERVICES TO ME "FREE-OF-CHARGE" TO FIX THE UTTER MESS SHE HAS MADE OF MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR.
I HONESTLY DO NOT WANT HER HANDS COMING AT ME AT ANY PRICE. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO FAITH IN HER WHATSOEVER ANY LONGER. OBVIOUSLY SO. NOR DO I EVEN WANT TO GO TO ANOTHER STYLIST THERE AT THE SAME SALON TO TRY AND FIX THIS. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS WHAT I WAS PROMISED AFTER COMPLAINING TO MANAGEMENT.
I HAVE NO FAITH IN ANYONE AT GRACE SALON SPA ANYMORE.
I WOULD NOT TAKE A DEAD CAT TO GRACE SALON SPA.
MY HAIR IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF AN EXPERT COLORIST WHO I FINALLY HAVE CONFIDENCE IN. THE UTTER MESS THAT GRACE SALON SPA MADE OF MY HAIR IS GOING TO BE FIXED COMPLETELY.
I HOWEVER WILL NEVER HAVE FAITH, TRUST, OR BUSINESS WITH GRACE SALON SPA EVER AGAIN.
I WOULD RECOMMEND TO YOU THAT YOU NEVER VISIT OR THINK OF GRACE SALON SPA IN MT PLEASANT SOUTH CAROLINA.
DO NOT PUT YOUR PRECIOUS, LOVELY HAIR IN THE HANDS OF "SHIRLEY". AT ANY SALON. AND DO NOT PUT YOUR PRECIOUS, LOVELY HAIR IN THE HANDS OF GRACE SALON SPA IN MT PLEASANT SOUTH CAROLINA.

I do not know Shirley or the salon. In fact I do not live in South Carolina. One thing that should be clear is that, if somebody has previously colored their hair dark, it is impossible to make your hair a lighter color without the use of bleach, which is why Shirley highlighted your hair. In other words, you can't just put a lighter color on top. That could actually potentially make it darker than before. I would assume that as an experienced stylist, she would have let you know the damage that bleach does to your hair, and I am sure that she informed you prior to the service that highlighting is all she could have done, as well as what the price would have been. This service is called a corrective color due to the processes involved, and therefore more expensive. Also, since it was a corrective color, the outcome is not guaranteed since there are previous tones/color in the hair. Also, if the hair had previously been colored root to tip numerous times, the hair was already damaged, and the bleach was the straw that broke the camel's back.
The truth is, in order for her to have gotten your hair to be all over the same lighter color, she would have had to bleach out ALL of your hair (maybe twice, depending on how dark it was), then deposit another color on top, then possibly tone it again...potentially causing A LOT more damage than just the highlighting. Maybe there was some sort of mis-communication during the consultation prior to the service, but it seems as if what she did COULD have been the best case scenario.
Having said that, she shouldn't have been satisfied to let you leave unsatisfied. The fact that the salon gave you a full refund says a lot about the character of its management.

Again, I'm empathetic to your dilemma. But regardless of what you say, I will keep going to Grace and to see Shirley, as will all of my friends who have thanked me on a number of occasions for the recommendation. Her advice, enthusiasm and overall professional nature make me look forward to getting my hair styled every month! If more people were like her, the world would definitely be a better place!
