I would have requested that they fix it for free or give you a refund. You shouldn’t have to pay for something so awful as the way this salon sounds. I wish I could send you my stylist, he’s fabulous! I know he’d be able to fix your hair up super cute. He just has this knack. He can do anything. AND he gives fabulous scalp massages while washing your hair. It’s SO relaxing.

Try David he’s great! Let me know how it goes. Hair/stylist issues are the worst, that’s the downside of moving to a new city. Good Luck!

Let me know if you need any other suggestions.

Joy -

THANK YOU! Oh my gosh, you might just be my saving grace! I’d be so grateful if you’d poke around, see if you can find him. I’ll do the same. And in the meantime, I might try Estillo’s. Although I’d never pay $100 for a cut (I barely get one ‘trim’ a year!), I would certainly pay through the nose for good color. Thanks so much!

Ok, so I just moved from SLC and am very picky about my stylist. You could try Estillo’s across from the gateway mall. He is good, I have been to him for both coloring and styling but he is expensive, like around a hundred for a cut. I did like him but I never wanted to spend that every six weeks. For the last two years I went to David at Forum Salon (200 S. and 400 E . ) I loved David, he is very good and a great guy. From what I hear he closed Forum and is with another salon now. I’ll make some phone calls and see where he is if you’re interested.

I totally feel your pain. I’m about 7 months grown out now because I have the exact same problem. It’s not you. It’s not me. It is a shortage of good stylists. I once got 3 haircuts in one day. One to get it cut. 2 when I went back and asked them to fix it. And 3 when I tried someone completely new to try and fix it again. Now, I’m VERY wary of who I go to and I never go back twice becuase they never get it right. *SIGH*. I feel your pain. Hang in there.

Thanks, ladies. I know it might seem vain and insignificant, but hair is your crowning glory, right? It’s been a long road, I’m about to throw in the towel…

that sucks melissa. hence, why i’ve never colored my hair. and i said i never would. that is, until i got gray hairs coming in. now, i’ve been debating it. i just know myself. i’ll be horrible with the maintenance and i would hate for someone to screw it up. it’s a good thing your hair grows in quickly. i’d do what ~m suggested and contact heather. it’s worth a shot! and by the way, i think your hair is beautiful. your style always looks great in photos.

That’s horrible, Melissa…I really feel your pain. I just had a thought… Heather B. Armstrong, the creator of dooce.com lives in Utah…her business address is in SLC. She is really gorgeous and stylish and may have a suggestion for someone to rescue your hair. Worth a shot.
Best of luck!
