Hi Simplycee, my fellow NewEnglander,
I am so pissed for you. I would not go back to her. I would not forgive her. I would not want to hear her excuses. You were very clear and upfront from the get-go, too clear for her not to understand. This has happened to me twice (as far as I know.) Years ago I used Cream of Nature no lye which is always a peachy color when mixed. For a long time it was the only kind that agreed with my hair. One day, like you, I looked at the actual relaxer and realized it was white, not peach. I questioned her and she denied that it wasn't Cream of Nature. The other time I had a stylist that I had told to never use a lye relaxer on my scalp. One day, she "snuck" one on me and I knew immediately because my scalp started itching right away. The bottom line is that it is your hair and your frickin' money and you deserve to get the service you request. If you're out of the product be woman enough to say just that. You've been with her 7 years and she can't miss out on getting your money one time? She can't go to the local bss and pick up a container? I wouldn't tell her this face to face but mentally I'd tell her to kiss my .... I don't mean to be harsh but I realize that we can sometimes be too understanding and too forgiving. Your hair is too beautiful for anyone to even think about messing it up and you have been too good a customer to her for too long for her to disrespect you. Good for you for walking out--you taught her a lesson. Go back and she'll do it again, if not to you, to someone else. That's just my two cents.
