| - I've been dyeing my hair since I was 12 years old thanks to genes that blessed me with prematurely greying hair. For most of my life, I've dyed it myself. Even when I went to salons, stylists complemented me on my color, so I figure I've done a decent job.
Lately I've been having my roots professionally done because between the rock hard water and years of hair dye, I don't want to fry my hair.
After watching zillions of hours of Guy Tang on Youtube, I knew I wanted to get bayalage highlights and a root touch up before my wedding.
I decided to check trusty Yelp and went with The Parlor after scrolling through lots of their wonderful looking photos.
When I came in, it was weird because the girl at the front desk didn't say anything. The owner was dealing with another customer so I just waited until he was done to check in.
Bryce was my stylist and I showed him a photo from their Yelp page of what I wanted my hair to look like. He did a root touch up and balayage. 2.5 hours and $171 later (including tip and 15% 1st time check-in discount) I was done.
A few days later I couldn't help but notice I was not feeling my look. I'm paper white, with pink undertones in my skin, and naturally dark hair. Unfortunately my hair was colored with warm tones and too blonde for my tastes.
I was legitimately freaking out because it was my wedding that week. I texted pictures of my hair to all of the ladies in my family and the consensus was the color wasn't flattering on me.
Luckily I emailed the owner and he offered to have my hair fixed for free. He set the appointment and when I came in, I guess the system set my appointment for a day I already said I'd be out of the state. Because of the appointment mix up, Bryce was busy, so colorist Emanuel fixed my hair. He put cool tones throughout and it came out perfect.
I'm just glad it got fixed in time.
