I recently went for a color service with Melanie for the second time. During my first visit, she showed me color samples so we could select the correct shade. My natural hair color is a dark brown/black, and I chose cherry black because it seemed closest to my natural tone with a subtle red undertone.
This time, however, there was no sharing of samples and everything was done in the back room without any consultation. The end result was a flat, solid black that looks harsh and unnatural. The first photo shows the outcome from yesterday’s service. Melanie repeatedly insisted there was red in it and that it would reflect under certain lighting, but I have yet to see any red tones appear.
The second photo represents the look I was aiming for—something closer to my natural color with a soft cherry undertone. I am disappointed that the process lacked transparency and that the result does not match what was discussed or expected.
At this point, I would rather stick to doing my hair at home. It may not be perfect, but at least it will be something I truly want and like. I had hoped to find a salon I could return to every six weeks for convenience, but it is disheartening that the focus seems to be on what stylists think customers need rather than listening to what customers actually want.
