So you've probably all seen my hair in it's ''red'' state by now which I did last septemberish. I loved it. Fire engine red red RED it was. Well I haven't had any hair stuff done since then and I have roots like nobody's business and my hair had faded to a sickening Autumn orangeish. But my schedule is so hectic and busy now that I was having a rough time committing to an apointment at the place I had it done last.
Erron gets his hair done at walmart. and after 2 months of trying to get my hair fixed I asked if they would be able to do it and they said definitely. Well I went in tonight about 7PM and lady was so enthusiatic and said she could do it in about an hour, tops.
She asked what color red I wanted, I held up my cell phone. I told her ''RED RED! like fire engine red or like that fire extinguisher over there but maybe a shade darker'' so she was like '' I can definitely do that! IT'll be perfect! IT'll come out great! i've done my highlites that color a bajillion times!'' so I trusted her and she dyed it and washed out the dye and i'm lookin' in the mirror and my roots were a little too light, looked kinda faded red but the red was alllllmooost the right color, it just wasn't e ven and kind of splotchy and kind of looked like I smeared cheap dye all over myself. While trying to communicate this to ''MIchele'' I tried to leave out that fact and be more polite so I told her it kind of needed to be more RED and ''richer'' and I made the mistake of using the word ''darker'' and to correct myself told her ''Blood red''.
Now when I think blood red I think RED, ok? So she put some stuff in my hair to darken it and when she washed it out and d ried it it was like...burgundy and I was all ''AAHHH''. Because I absolutely hate that color and I was hoping to never EVER see it on my head.
And she's like '' oh well most people don't know that blood is dark and when like it's in a bag its kind of dark and purple, not like when you cut yourself a little bit of blood comes out...'' and i'm thinking '' what a ditz! I never said anything about a bag! What about my fire extinguisher reference?! You're thinking way too much!''
I'd liek to also mention my hair is LONG and VERY thick and people who do not have long thick hair do not know how to treat it. Therefore she was pulling my hair and brushing it in ev ery direction it was just ridiculous. You can't brush my hair that way! It immediately MATS. Forget knots and ta ngles it will MAT itself into something not quite unlike something you wipe your feet on. It is seriously DANGEROUS. And then she used a volumizing brush to detangle me until I made her use a different one that wasn't hurting so bad. And let me tell you, I can deal with aLOT of pain. But while this lady was brushing my hair, I seriously SCREAMED. I held a towel over my mouth and SCREAMED and stamped my feet and ground my teeth into dust. And she was COMBING it while I had dye in it. And while she seperated piees to dye she was pulling it in every direction and just making it fuzz. And then she'd work the dye through my hair and like...roll it into dreads. I was seriously about to snap, if not just from pain. But i'm a polite quiet person so of course I didn't say anything and she kept appologizing. And ev ery 10 seconds ''are you ok? Are you ok? '' and I said '' yeah i'm fine'' ''yeah i'm fine'' until finally I jsut screamed '' NOOO!!!! IM NOT OKAY!!!"
The place closed at 9. I was there until 10:15. She said give it a week to fade a bit, hopefuly to the color I want, and if not, then she'll see me again next monday or tuesday and re-do it for free. I am sooooo hopingI don't havet o go through that again. And I was hoping to have enough time left to get my eyebrows waxed since they're hideous too and that only takes 5 minutes. But i'm worrying about this girl's competence and if I should trust her with my gorgeous eyebrows. Some other woman came in and had hers done while my hair was setting and when she walked out she had like...half eyebrows. Some people have eyebrows like that or prefer them like that but....what if Michele did it that way on purpose? I dunno i'm scared now. But it beats having to drive to the other pla ce I got them done and pay 3 times as much.
but the big deal here now is that I went from this:
To this....which mind you looks way more purple in person....if it was actually more this color in reality I wouldn't be so TO'd.
So tell me your thoughts...when I say ''Blood Red''....what comes to mind? Post a picture of something you consider ''Blood Red''.
