I'm back!

It feels so good to be back! Trust me I had no intention of taking this 4 day hiatus however my recent post about changing my hair color turned into a nightmare! Let me give you a little recap: I had very dark hair like practically black -- I was channeling my inner Kim Kardashian-- and while it did me well for many years I was ready for a change and because Pinterest has become my latest obsession I found this amazing photo of a hair color. 

Pretty amazing right?? That's what I thought. So when I went to my consult and then the BIG day to do the big change I was very excited and a bit nervous. So Tuesday came and while my hair dresser said it could take up to 5 hours I was hoping it wouldn't. Well let me tell ya 5 hours would have been easy it ended up taking 6 hours!!! The kicker?? When I went to pay (mid way through the process) it was $100 more than I was quoted and after sitting there for 6 hours it was nothing like the picture that I wanted. The solution was to come back the next day for her to try and correct it. Ugh more sitting. 

Now Wednesday came and once again I was sitting in the chair to get my hair fixed, while the top of my hair was perfect the bottom because it was darker didn't look as good. I told the hair dresser that I wanted the top as is just fix the bottom. Again not what happened- so as she was washing my hair I told her that I was upset about the $100 price difference, after some conversation back and forth she agreed to give me that difference back. So now was the moment of truth as she was blow drying my hair I thought I was going to have this perfect hair color. . . . to my HORROR I had the complete opposite. I now had platinum blond hair and orange on the bottom- are you kidding?!?! You think I'm being dramatic I'm not, here's a photo to prove it. . . .

Do you see that orange tint to the ends of my hair??? I was in utter disbelief. I didn't pay $300 to look like this. So in the end and after spending 10 hours in the last 24 hours at the hair salon I got all my money back but was still left with this hair. Thankfully I was off this weekend and was able to get it fixed on Sunday and this was the outcome. . . 

So much better! Is it like the original picture that I wanted no but they also didn't build Rome in a day. At the end of the day the orange is out of my hair and the blond is more subtle. 

Now that this catastrophe is done with I'm back to blogging 100%
