Bad Balayage (help!)

Hi guys!

A few days ago I went to a salon for a balayage. I showed her this photo:

And ended up with this:

I complained about the harsh lines but she said it would fade after a few washes. Is she correct??

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks guys!

    Hi guys! I was wondering if Topsys Hair Hut at Guildford is still open? I have tried calling but there is no answer. I have heard that Kristy is good there.

    Your hair looks great.
    Glad it all worked out.

    Hi guys! She was really nice about it and did a pretty good job 🙂 I’m happy with the result!
    Thank you all for your answers!

    That looks gorgeous AriaBear. I compared it to your first photo of that awful balayage and man, what a difference! I’ll love to know where you went to fix your hair; if it’s close I want to go there as well 🙂

    Thanks! Haha yeah I’m pretty happy with it 🙂
    I actually went back to the person who did it the first time! I think we had a misunderstanding because we talked about the difference between balayage and ombre and we both had different views. I went to Topsy’s Hair Hut in Guildford, Sydney!

    Oh dear, sorry about that hon. No it definitely won’t fade, that’s definitely bad work. I’m so glad they’re going to fix it for you. Post a pic of the result 🙂

    No, she demanded payment for the product she used, and made her partner do the talking for her, and she denied that she ever did that job, even though we had proof! In the end we paid her $50 just to make her bugger off! Grr! Such a horrible experience!

    Think thats bad? I had a “hairdresser” come to my house and do balayage, which she evidently didnt know how to do, and ended up with this:

    The bottom pics are after the first fix up at a professional hair salon. Will NEVER make the same mistake again!! Please- no one else let anyone touch your hair with bleach if youre not CERTAIN they know what they are doing!

    Oh wow, and I thought the one in the opening post was really bad! I hope they paid to have it fixed?!

    It won’t fade, like Miss Bella Boo said they will become more yellow/orange over time but the lines are there to stay until fixed, obviously bleach was used so that’s permanent. I would go back to the salon and request that it is fixed or you are refunded.

    So would I. I once had an apprentice in her last year give me bright yellow/orangey hair and put the foils in all scrunched up and miles apart. I went back and the owner was mortified at the result and wanted nothing more than to fix my hair for me and even gave me a silver colour bomb to take home for nothing.

    Wow, thats horrible. Kind of looks like the person hadn’t even watched a youtube video on it LOL
