Hello ladies,
I have been with my beautician for a few years now and I
absolutely loved the way my hair would look and feel when
I stepped outside the salon. Many thought I was sporting a
wig, because my hair bounced, was shiny and was just plain
healthy and needless to say, I rather enjoyed the
attention. (often wondered if I was vain for enjoying the
attention
) Well, my beautician and I have a
really nice rapport. Well, last October, I received a touch-
up, which was kinda long overdue, shortly afterwards, I
noticed some of my hair had come out on one side in the
front. I've always had rather thin edges, so I didn't panic
and felt well, I can cover that up, like I always have in
the past. Well, a couple of weeks later, a family member
was scratching the back of my head and asked me if I knew I
had some breakage, I was like, "no, I knew I had a little
on one side around the edges." You mean you tell me, all
along I had been walking around with long and short hair
and didn't even notice it? My hair had just completely come
out at the time of the touch-up and I didn't notice, I
suppose because there was still some long hair strands
covering it up, but at the time I was getting my scalp
scratched, it had already grown out a little bit, in which
I was able with her guiding my hand to reach back and grab
a few short strands. Y'all when I tell you I was
devastated, I mean I was torn
because I knew my
routine had not changed at home in all the years I had been
going to her and this had not happened before. The breakage
was on only one side of my head, and when I notified my
beautician, she said anything could've happened, whether it
be the color lift that had taken place a couple of weeks
prior to my relaxer or the rinse that was put in that could
dry the hair and cause it to break off. I'm listening to
her and feeling all along I should be doing this
to her, because for some reason I could not help but think
she saw where my hair had come out in the back after the re-
touch and said nothing about it, so she wouldn't be held
responsible, but what do I do, I continue to go back to
her, am I
or what? Well, I had to get my hair
cut off,
man, it hurts to have to start all
over, and to begin with, I had hair about 4 in. past my
shoulders. I didn't get all of my hair cut off because the
cut would have been a little too drastic for me, it seems
to take forever for layers to grow out so I opted for a bob
so it wouldn't be sooo noticeable but still have a little
breakage on the side and in the top closer to the back, so
since I can't do anything but be patient
what can
I do about trying to get the hair that's broken off to
catch up with the rest of the length? Also let me just
breathe a word of caution, if you can, try to steer clear
of beauticans who are always rushing so they can go
someplace else. I believe in my case, the relaxer wasn't
completely washed out on one side, which is why there was
only breakage on one side of my head, also after a retouch
or any chemical process, make sure you look at your hair
thoroughly, before you leave the shop or kitchen, because
once you leave it's really hard to prove who did what, even
if you know it wasn't you who did it. I was careless
because I let her rushing, cause me to rush, to make sure
she arrived where she needed to be on time, but keep in
mind, you are the paying customer, and it is their
responsibility to wait on you to check and see if
everything is copacetic, otherwise you might just get
hoodwinked like I allowed to happen to myself. Don't let
your trusting nature get in the way of business. Like they
say from time to time, "business is business." Now I know
what that means. Anywho, I guess I just needed to vent all
the while making sure none of you ladies allow this to
happen to your crown of glory. Even to this day, I still
can't believe I'm still with her. Guess it's loyalty huh?
