i'm actually a little embarrassed to post these just because it's nowhere near what i wanted (and subsequently paid for) but (NSFW tags for size)...

i'm folding my ends over the top of my head to show the difference in color.

here it just looks like regular highlights (please ignore my sweater and its weird bunching action; i assure you that is NOT my belly hanging over my pants. :))

i'm so nervous about talking to her tomorrow and telling her the news. i'm sure she'll be really accommodating, but i hate telling someone they did a bad job. and then there's the issue of whether i should go back to her to have it corrected... bah!
 
that's as good as you're gonna get today - i look terrible! :D but i can tell you that in a regular head shot, the color looks uniform root to tip. it's not until you're close and under certain light that you can see there's lighter pieces. again, the best way to describe it too much of a "highlight" look and not enough contrast. the color just doesn't look purposeful, yanno?

what really chaps me is she actually had the ombre color done to her hair and i liked it - i told her as much so... i dunno what the issue was.

she charged $100. do you think that's cheap? because it's so low-maintenance, i'd be willing to spend a bit more.


could you ask your husband how he would do it or how i should present it to her or some other colorist? i want this shit done right damnit! :D
 
$100 for just a colour...that sounds right for your length of hair and what you wanted but what do I know I haven't paid in years! I don't think you got the ombre look.

My husband is stacking wood right now but I will ask him to check in on this thread.
I will remind him what you look like from the calendar....so he can see your hair ;)
 
my next cut I am buying a plane ticket to PI's. They are marked NSFW because of the size as well. They pics are very safe :)
Here is the small animall we created when I cut my hair

Here is the back of my hair

And here is the front, I want to do something with my color but I have natural red hair and no one wants to touch the color other than cheesey blonde highlights, which is not me.

I usually go into the salon and just say do whatever. Its just hair it will grow back. But, I have yet to find anyone I like where I live.

There's a product sold in Sephora as well, and I think it might be the same chemical. I recall noticing that the price tag was over $100. I like my eye color, so I'm not risking it (my eyes are half green, half gold/brown, and I would be devastated if they got any darker; I already wish they were more green). I hear the stuff is pretty effective, but as Fawkes noticed, definitely not permanent, so I'm not sure if it's worth it to me on that front either...

edit after merge: this is in reference to Latisse/Lumigan

thanks Hun.... it really did help bump me out of the little funk I was in.

So when are you due for a nice vacation to sunny southern california??
 
Cool! I'd never heard of this!

ZYGGY I'm going to merge this with the girly thread, if that's okay?

My tiny daughter was so lucky to get super long eyelashes from her daddy.

I want them too.

I think I heard something about a prescription eye product that caused the lashes to grow and now is sold for that. Can't find info. Google search gives scammy info.

Anyone know?

:D

I have been using Revitalash for 6 months now, and I've found it has thickened and increased the amount of lashes I have. Not dramatically, but enough to notice. :)

I'm very fortunate in that i'm like your daughter - my lashes are freakishly long - long enough that i only need to get a tint and it looks like i'm wearing mascara... i can't actually wear it becaue i get huge smudges on my sunglasses from my eyelashes dragging on the inside, lol. When i wear black, they look fake.

As for lash lengthening, i have heard of a product called Latisse. Claire Danes promotes it... the side effects look pretty gnarly though, i'd just go with a good nourishing mascara.

Latisse has generally been considered as very effective for growing eyelashes. Careprost is the generic version and is readily available from somewhere online for about $11. The main issue is shipping which is $25. It's ridiculous. From what I've read, the only eye color changes were experienced by those using the product directly on their eyeball for glaucoma treatment.

I totally agree with this. My eyes are really green and, I too, would be devastated if they turned brown due to some cosmetic procedure. Not worth it for me personally, but I can imagine quite useful to brown eyed girls looking to add some length.
 
Fawkes,

I agree with PI in that she may not have gone so dramatic because of your lack of history with hair color. Just talk to her though and give her the opportunity to make good on the color.

I have gone to my hair stylist for years now and she is always does an excellent job and really listens to what I want but also offers her professional opinion. It's difficult sometimes but you should find someone that your personality just works with and who their personality work with yours. Yeah it's *just* hair (I don't actually believe this, btw lol) but you are the one who has to walk around with it and you should be happy with it.
 
Fawkes
I spoke to my husband as he could not be arsed to comment within the thread.
He said he would rather have a client come back and make them happy vs never come back at all or even worse bad mouth his work.
$100 was cheap, IHO but based on the highlights they gave you vs the ombre look you were properly charged.
Then he started talking technical and I stopped listening :)

I'm in the same boat - i have very green eyes and don't want them to turn brown (although I like brown eyes, i would prefer mine, lol). I say be happy with what you have - why mess with things when you can just put on fake lashes; why take the chance?
