Requested to repeat the work

I was in the salon yesterday to have my hair cut and at the same time to have it styled with new look. This time, it’s not in the barber shop and person that I usually go every time I need my hair to be fixed. I requested the person to curl and style it the same as the photo that I have shown her. I thought at first that I will only have my hair curled and the trimming would be at the barber shop that I used to go to but it would be time consuming so I decided to have the work done in one setting. After almost two hours of waiting, the stylist removed the curlers but the result was not achieved. I don’t want to settle for that even if the person insisted that it’s OK. I ask another person to do the job even if I would pay another amount for it and would stay another hours. It was regret because the hair length was already cut down shorter before the second job was done. Not the result that I really wanted but a bit better.

As long as the first person didn't cut your ears off, it will be okay. Your hair will grow again and you can get another person to try to fix your hair the way you want it. I have gotten bad hair styling/cut at a good salon before. It upset me but my hair grows fast so got it cut/styled the way I wanted it a few months later.

@ZedSmart I wouldn't blame you, either. The person should pay if that happens. (I've had my ear cut by a person cutting my hair but it just bled a little bit, so was okay. She apologized a lot!)

Ha ha, if ever the person cuts my ear, I think I won't let it pass and he or she must pay the price.

The blade sometimes would leave a bit of scratches that's why I always told the barber to be careful when he does the finishing touches.

Sorry you didn't get the cut and style you wanted. It seems to happen a lot these days.

And I still pay the person in full. I could have asked even for a discount but I did not and chose to do not argue anymore.

@ZedSmart I am noticing that a lot of people are not taking pride in their work anymore. What is this world coming to?

@kareng I'm not also sure about that. There are just time that the services we get are either good or bad.

That's too bad. At least it got better after the second attempt.

@ZedSmart I guess, it is time to go back to your previous barber the next time you will need to get a haircut.

Yes, a bit better but it's not really a good experience. Maybe because it's also my first time to that salon and they're not familiar also how to handle me.

As long as you are happy than all is good.

Not happy that much but it's already acceptable.

Yeah that is frustrating. Maybe next time it's better to show a picture. When I take my son to the barber that's what we always do.

I show a photo of the style but the person did not get it. Yes, you are right, it's frustrating. Thanks.

Well sometimes it also happens to me. But describing how your hair got done, I think you are agirl.
