I had gotten them a year ago and had seen a huge difference in my hair color. So when she blow-dried my hair and I saw it lighter, I was happy and thanked her. But when I got home I realized I really just wasn't satisfied and really wanted it lighter. I had spent $50 on the highlights and was afraid to go back because 1) I was scared she'd re-charge me for more product and time and 2) I felt like I would be insulting HER highlighting abilities and 3) um hello, awkward? I don't want to sound like a stuck-up bitch who decided to waltz in the next day because she changed her mind. But I set up another appointment and when I went in I just was really open and tried to communicate as best I could that I was really expecting a lighter color. She was very understanding and even switched to bleach (I guess she used dye? Or not as strong of a bleach before) and anyways afterwards the color was much more what I had wanted. And you know what she didn't charge me! I still tipped though, since I HAD taken up her time again. My advice is if you don't like what you see, just communicate clearly and don't be afraid to ask the hairdresser to re-do something (just make sure you do this promptly, not like a week later) I went in for highlights the other day and was expecting WHAM! blonde.

I guess I missed that while I was writing the article. I'm sorry if I offended you, but honestly the comment had nothing to do with racial prejudice or any other kind of discrimination (although I can see how it could have been misinterpreted.) Actually, I meant that the hairstylist and I spoke two entirely different languages and as a result, we were forced to communicate through a series of hand gestures. It was like a really (REALLY) bad game of charades- with no winner. Anyway, thanks again, Michelle! I'll keep that in mind. Michelle- Wow, thank you for pointing that out.

Your comment suggests that those who can't speak English don't provide good service, which I hope isn't what you intended to say. Anyway, I understand you were just emphasizing the importance of communicating with one's hairstylist, I just would hope, especially in this electric political environment, that you would be a little more sensitive. Otherwise, cool article.

You definitely want to take precaution when spilling your inner-most thoughts with your hair-dresser. I thought I had nothing to worry about and used to tell her everything. Then, I started dating one of her friends and all of a sudden, I realized that my hair dresser had been gabbing my intimate problems to the world! It could have been messier than it was, so beware of what you say! Great post! -jonray makemoneyincollegeblog.com Yes!
