I had to share this with all you geeks because I think it is shocking!..
I had a free afternoon yesterday so I decided to pop into a local hairdressers to finally get my hair done in time for my daughters bday party..
I walked in to the salon as this particular salon doesn't set appointments. Firstly I was greeted by a young lady who was washing hair and then out came another older looking lady who asked how she could help.. I said to her that I'm trying to achieve a lighter look as my hair is around a base 3-4 which is faded and I have about an inch root growth which is slightly lighter than the rest of my hair.
She stood there and looked at me asif I was mad and said she wasn't sure if she could lift my colour and that it would involve stripping and that I "don't want to get into all that".. Umm well actually I do want you to do that because I want my hair lightening up!
Anyway after a good few minuets of her saying I had no chance of getting lighter I asked what I could have done and she said "to be honest, nothing. Your better off leaving it, use head and shoulders to try and strip it over time" I think even the other hairdresser was shocked as she said it can be done because she went from black to blonde and blah blah blah!
But no.. Not prepared to help atall and I'm sorry but if you can't go to a salon and have your hair done or made to atleast look better then what is the industry coming to?? I'd rather they said they would re-touch my roots if nothing else. I would understand her reasoning if my hair was very dark but it's not and it's fading more and more and looking awful.
I dunno.. I thought I was doing the right thing by going to a professional but turns out my hair can't be helped! Haha
