Hi Miffny,
So sorry about your horrible experience. I looked at the pictures and he really did damaged your hair. Just so you know, you don't have to take that. You can take them to court. Another person on this site had a similar situation. She took the hair stylist to court and was awarded $5,000. I was just looking at her post the other day, but I don't remember which thread it was on. Get your self s good protein treatment like Nexxus emergency and start doing weekly treatments. That should at least stop the fall out, and it will strengthen your hair.
I would go back to the salon and demand a full refund, and if they refused I would inform them of my intensions to sue. If they still refuse, take them to small claims court. I assure you after they look at what they did to your hair, you will win the case. You can even ask at the court house, where is there paralegal office. Is usually very near the courthouse. The offer help and legal advice for free. So find out where it is, and teach this people a lesson.
Hope everything works out and your hair recovers quickly.
Much love, Shary

Hi Shary thanks so much for the moral support, things in Australia are
harder as I already have called consumer affairs & basically it's
his word against mine even though everyone knows he damaged my hair
including him!.Imagine if I were a celebrity I am sure I would have had
the royal treatment instead of being treated as no-one
I
have to bite the bullet it's so unfair I just can't believe it happened
& even worse is the lack of customer service & caring is just
shocking.
I am so broke I just can't afford anything right now
but will save up for the Nexxus treatment.I am on a DSP as he knows as
I had to stop work due to MS I wish I could just get treatments to do
at home I never want to see his face again & to top it all off I
just saw they have re-vamped the website!!

Much Love,

UHG~I can relate.Nothing is worse then a c*ckY arrogant hair dresser. And they critiasize people like me for doing my own hair. I paid 300 dollars once to have this guy bleach my hair WHITE and tell me it was done. I mean,FLAT WHITE with no pigment at all!!! This is AFTER I told him I wanted natural looking blonde hair that was medium to dark colored! I made a big deal about it and had The OWNER (not the same guy~I wouldnt let him touch my hair again) put in color and lowlights.
As far as your hair goes,it isnt a lost cause.Although just conditioner isnt always what does the trick. Find a Beauty supply store and ask for a NEUTRAL PROTEIN FILLER which is CLEAR. You can dilute it with water and it makes an excellent recontructor.You'll want to apply it to damp hair and leave on about 20 minutes,maybe twice a week.
NEXUS HAIR EMERGENCEE is also good. AND,BEDHEAD AFTER-PARTY is a MUST. I used this on my hair when it was also blond and always felt dry and had some breakage. You apply it to damp hair from the shower and it smooths hair and makes it very shiney and soft and helps protect from blowdrying if you have to. It is WONDERFUL for dry brittle hair. I got mine at hair cuttery when I had my last trim when the lady reccomended it (and I normally do not buy products they reccomend)
Sometimes being blond doesnt seem worth the hassle which is why I have since gone back to my natural color...but you CAN have healthy hair if your a blond,you just need to use the right products. Good luck to you!  |

Ahhhhh julesyjul88 we are on opposite sides ofthe world but may as well have had the same hairdresser this guy is so c*ckY & arrogant as well plus he overlapped & re-bleached already bleached hair so mine that broke off was whiter than white too blast I wanted natural blonde too! stupid hairdressers like them should NOT practice .Added to my list TiGi BEDHEAD AFTER-PARTY. I had already bought the whole range of Redken's Extreme which set me back a bit it's nice but my hair still feels so dry so I will grab some Nexxus & TiGi tonight thank god for late night shopping in the city.
Who makes the NEUTRAL PROTEIN FILLER as I have a sachet of Matrix's clear protein essentilas 5+ PROTOPAK restructurizing treatment have yet to try it I'm terrifed my hair will become more brittle now 
I hear you as I am going back to my base 5 the blonde was good but when this hapenns it's not worth it.
I hope your hair i sdoing really well & I am sorry that disaster happened to you
Good Luck

Let's see...the protein filler is made by Colorful(and it says "the hairdressers color insurance"on it) comes in a small or big bottle and is only about 5 bucks for the big. A nice hair dresser told me about it 5 years ago and I never color without it now. I also use it now and then to make it stronger and boost shine. make sure after you use it,to add a little conditoner too though,just to balance the ph levels~but is perfectly safe,it's actual live active proteins that fill in the hairs weak spots.
My hair has been severely damaged and it pulled through using this stuff,I think you'll have no problems! I noticed a difference really the first time after using the nexus emergencee. And..I just colored my hair 3 times this week to get back to my natural color,and with the BEDHEAD it doesnt even look dry at all.And I can run my fingers through it with no snags.
Let me know if you like it and how it goes! julesyjul882006-09-15 04:24:05

Went to the warehouse & we don't have Colorful in Australia figures !!!!, Nexxus has been pulled from a lot of salons so I'll have to hunt for that one but the leave-in BEDHEAD After-PArty is $28.00 so it's a save up .
I don't understand why we have so little here in Australia as in Redken-Matrix-L'Oreal-Matthew James-Joico-Wella-DeLorenzo-Keune-PPS-Davroe -TiGi-So-Rusk & a few other bits & pieces.
I so want to run my fingers through my hair without the already cut off snaggy midlengths & ends. I will keep you posted.

Good morning julesyjul88, I have read acouple of your posts regarding the colorful protein filler and am wondering if this is what my hair needs. My hair is pretty light (i have highlights / lowlights) the lowlights which to me are alittle on the reddish side also seem to be very dry. My last trip to the salon was last month (a new stylist) and the it almost seems like the color is already fading and as it is fading it seems to get in worse shape. The minute water hits my hair IT LOOKS LIKE A RATS NEST and completely tangled and i have alot breakage. My hair is naturally curly (not tight curls kinda loose spiral) but even my curls have pretty much vanished and all i have is funky wavy with no body. I have done aphogee treatments in the past (just something I seen at Sally's one time and thought I would try it) and actually did one yesterday. Usually when i have done this treatment I notice a change almost immediately BUT after I rinsed out yesterday I still had the nest. I bought a small bottle of the Nuetral Protein Filler but now I am concerned about doing this after the aphogee treatment. Any input would be great. Thanks for your time.

HI! Protein filler is pretty harmless. What it does is fill in any weak spots the hair cuticle has to help with breakage. Hair naturally has protein in it which can get stripped away when chemical processes are done. The hair gets holes in it,which can cause uneven hair color and result in breakage. The protein filler replaces that "barrier" that is lost and makes hair stronger,shinier and more healthy. Since you got the neutral protein filler,which is colorless,you can use it anytime. Most likely you should apply it to damp hair,and leave on about 20 minutes. I color at home,therefore I add it to my haircolor as well to ensure even color and less damage.
Nexus emergencee is another really great product to try. It feels kinda sticky and gooey while you're using it,but after a few treatments,hair is remarkably in better condition.
You may also want to try the BEDHEAD AFTER-PARTY. This is just a serum/creme you add to your hair after you've washed it. IT REALLY helps with the Rats nest you refer to and in smoothing the hair out. I find I just cant leave the house without it.

Miffny, I'm so sorry to hear that . Wish there was something I could do. I know the pain of someone messing up your hair. Specially when there is nothing you can do about it.
I hope everything works out, and that you don't end up having to cut it all off.
Much love and huggs to you, Shary.

you have to follow a protein treatment with a moisturing conditioner or it can give you the rats nest thing.

Hi missy60. Do you have one that you recommend? I'll tell you I almost cant stand this anymore. No matter what I do it seems like it is getting worse. I did the Aphogee treatment last weekend (are you familiar with that?) you do use the Aphogee moisture balance after the treatment. And my hair was easy to comb out afterwards and felt good through the second wash (did treatment on Sunday, second wash on tuesday) then today I washed my hair and the TANGLES were almost worse then before - it took about 15 - 20 minutes to pick it out. Like I said in my first post I have the blonde / brown highlights/low lights. the color name that she used on the low lights is "chestnut" and they appear to me to be more of a reddish / coppery color and it almost seems like this where a major part of my problem is. Does that make any sense? I'm getting ready to go on vacation on part of my vacation includes swimming and snorkeling and to be perfectly honest I almost dread it! Although i love to do water sports I am almost paniced over getting my hair wet 0=(

I think you can use the Aphogee moisture balance even though you dont do the treatment. Have you tried that yet? I use Kenra moisturing conditioner and its pretty good. I really like the nexxus emergencee treatment it is protein also not as much a major treatment as the Aphogee though and it can be used more often. One thing you can try that really helps me when my hair is damaged and dry is I use a cheap conditioner like Suave and VO5 to wash with I apply alot and let it sit for a while the do a good scrub on my head like with regular shampoo and it will lather. Then I use a better conditioner afterwards and dont rinse it all out. Try to get on with no protein in it though if you are doing the protein treatments because protein can dry your hair out. I have to use shampoo though so once a week or depending on the conditon of my hair and damage I use it only once in 2 weeks. I used this method until my hair gets in better condition. Try combing the tangles out when your hair is full of conditoner in the shower it is so much easier. I have to use shampoo only because I use well water. You didnt say what kind of water you have there is an excellant product I forgot to mention it is the greatest. My water is the cause of all my hair problems and I use malibu 2000 gel treatment it gets rid of the dryness and really help with coloring also it is pretty cheap to use and does wonders. Oh well I have rambled on and on probally alot more then you really wanted to know ...lol

thank you so much!!!!! i am checking them out now. one question for the protein filler. I have that little bottle of colorful nuetral that you mix with i think it said 1 oz filler + 2oz water (when using as conditioner) can you put that in a spray bottle and spray it on. or do you have to apply as you would hair color (kinda of a silly question BUT i've never used it before and i dont know if it would get too sticky or think to spray) thanks again for all your info

Let me know how things go with you. I have never used the protein filler so I cant give you any advice I would probally just apply it like the instructions say to if you dont get a reply. All this got me thinking about my hair and I went and done a treatment with the emergencee...lol

I know the feeling believe me. I have really bad mineral deposits in my hair and it wouldnt take color. Well my stylist thought she would just use my whole head to try different things and she colored, stripped colored again and highlighted. My hair was a mess very fragile and damaged but it wasnt breaking I think it was at the point though it was stretchy. I got sort of obsessed all I could think of was my hair. I thought everyone was just looking at my hair. Before all this I tried every color on my hair and I only got an orange color nothing worked at all. The malibu 2000 got rid of the build up and dryness better then anything but thats because my hair had all those mineral deposits on it

I cant remember the name of it buts its protein booster or something let me see if I can find the link. It really dont strip like other products do it uses natural stuff and it doesnt dry your hair out http://www.hairproducts4me.com/order+ecmode+hair+products.htm#Malibu_Makeover_Original you can find it seperate or just use the gel and follow up with something else. I have seen it sold in one treatment but cant remember where now just do a web search. its the malibu makeover I used the Malibu 2000 Crystal Gel Treatment since I didnt have the protein one to use afterwards but im sure it would be good to

I went for the chop but I can say that Redkens Extreme CAT spray is brilliant & also the Deep Fuel which is a great treatment that leaves hair reall soft *& works actively for up to 8 washes.
As for Malibu 2000 never heard of it .
I wish the hair Gods would shine down on me as well as now first time ever with short hair & I have NEVER seen so many girls/women with shiny long blonde foiled hair !!!.
Well at least it can't break off anymore , but so devastating to loose 20 inches all up now layers are as short as 4 inches to the longest - 7inch layered sides around my face.

Aw~it doesnt sound THAT short...I'm sure it looks cute. Look at it this way,if you leave your hair alone all winter,it will be long by summer...and who really cares what hair looks like in the winter.

member_profile.asp?PF=27535&FID=27 - julesyjul88 thanks for the kind post but from all one length of 20 inches to layered to heck hair I swear the bulk of it is all 4inches long it just has gutted me losing all my hair all from a chemical service so simple as foils that a hairdresser left on too long & overlapped already foiled hair.
But at least most of the damage is now cut out .
I hope it'll grow fast asI am hating it this short if it was all one length I wouldn't mind so much but the short layers make it so I simply cannot do anything with it .
It's right at the start of Summer here too (wish it was Winter!).

Oh,well that's even better! Did you know hair grows faster in the summer cuz the heat stimulates the hair follicle? You may also try a vitamin supplement called BIOTIN which is supposed to help hair grow faster and healthy.
I had hair down past my shoulders before and had to get it cut up PAST my ears cuz it was so damaged,so I really feel your pain. I felt naked without my hair. It took a year to look ok,and two years before it grew long again...but I had to keep getting it cut because I didnt want layers I wanted it all one length. (or else it may not have taken THAT long)
That vitamin really does help though.

I haven't taken biotin for years now you jogged my memory my hair wa slong when i took it !!.
I will be sure to grab some now, so sorry your hair disaster took your hair so short  but at least it's grown now so you of all people can really get where I am coming from, I want all one length again too & my hair is slow grow .
So here is to the next 2 years  !

Well,I'll be praying with you  for the first time in like,14 years I'm growing mine out naturally. That's why it is kinda short now cuz I had to color my very light blonde hair back to my light brownish red color. But I have already felt a healthy change being this haircolor. My hair is much shinier and feels better.

I hope we will get great hair!! if that's you in your avatar your hair looks gorgeous really shiny!, mine if any is like Sienna Miller's crop but strangely enough my bf ruffled my hair & said "It feels Real" & as much as I detest it it does feel so much better I have 3inches dark roots on palest blonde, I have a consult with a specialst colorist in 2 weeks as I have allergic reactions to on scalp dyes now so hoping she can come up with something as the front of my hair grows out white the rest dark blonde with a zillion greys .
Good Luck !!!!

Hi there well I let my hair grow a while enough to get foils I went to 5 salons for consults before I found one I was confident with.....well the girl who foiled used 1bleach foil to-2 blonde hi-lifts well not only did she not get close enough the hi-lifts barely lightened (keep in mind the old hair is still a base 10 plae blonde) I think it was the tints PPS they are called & bleach as well my hair went brassy as heck as well so she toned it to dark grey & I cannot have on scalp anything so I thought the toner was a no peroxide one but it was slightly damaged the good bits & took 2 weeks to fade out , the owner offerd to do my roots again for free..I got the same girl & she this time got some close but too much bleach (it bled through) no tints this time except for some brown foils that are brown root & 2 inches down I really don't think this young girl as lovely as she is is a good foiler, so I went to the person who trained the salon owner (as she does amazing foils but always booked out) & she said not to let the girl do my hair again she is not skilled enough & as the owner is always too busy I can go to her home & she uses Goldwell which I love I fel guilty going to another person but I feel I cannot let my hair get ruined again.
Am I right in getting a more experienced hairdresser to do my hair??, I think so but still feel bad as I was not charged last week & it's quite a botched up job again!

You are completely ok for going to someone else more skilled! Getting hair done costs money,and it effects our self essteam. Walking around with messed up hair for however long it takes to grow out is alot worse then possibly hurting some young girl's feelings who doesnt sound like she knew what she was doing anyways.
I think it's great you found someone who does it just how you like it and uses products you like too. I can never find someone around here that does mine right (why I do it myself).Stick with this lady and hold on tight! |

I will keep you posted I have an appointment 12th December & I am praying to the hair gods she's as good as ppl say & she has fine hair like I do & seemed to really listen........I feel as I am nearly crazy I was in the markets food shopping with my partner & there is a lady with fab hair so I asked about who she see's & she told me (back-up salon if needed!)in front of my boy that she nearly lost her mind /hair & money before she found her great Hairdresser so at least we are NOT alone.
I am a softie & shouldn't be as she is young 19yo! & as sweet as she maybe I don't think foils are her 'thing' I couldn't stand another disaster I would end up in the crazy house!
Jeepers so sorry you are haviong hassles as well it's like some cosic torture!!...Good Luck
