For those of you that haven't had extensions picture having a braid in your hair for 6 months with hair sewed into it. Inevitably as you naturally shed hair but its still trapped in the braid it tangles, and the longer you have your hair in the extensions the more it grows the more it sheds the more it tangles. I have had extensions done 4 times and this knotting was right in the middle of the line. Not the worst I have had not the best.
From the minute we started she began complaining LOUDLY about how HORRIBLE the knotting was. The worst she had ever seen, atrocious and terrible. She went on and on for a literal hour. She would make a comment and in the beginning I would politely agree and apologies, and she would make another and another and another to the point where I eventually just fell silent. She called over no less than 3 other stylists to witness the carnage complaining just as loudly to them, they all politely looked and than carried on with their work none of them commented they seemed a little uncomfortable. She told me I was going to be left with horrible bald spots and that the women who had put the extensions in had ruined my hair. Like I said at this point this was my third time having extensions removed and I thought it actually wasn't as bad as previous times. But I'm not the professional and I can't see the back of my own head maybe something had gone horribly wrong?! Every girl with extensions worst fear is being left with horrible bald spots. So I was ping ponging between feeling INCREDIBLY embarrassed like i had somehow caused this through improper care. And angry that this women had been shaming me for an 45m straight treating me like a side show, and terrified that i was going to end up with bald spots. At this point it was pretty much my worst hair experience. After only 45 minutes (not really that much time for how 'horrible' my knots were) she had the extensions out and I was doing my chemical smooth. But at this point I had begun to run into her other appointment (about 1.5h into my appointment). So she put the smoothing goo in my hair and asked if i minded if she trimmed another client while i waited the 20-30 minutes for the goo to work its magic. I felt HORRIBLE about what i had put her through so of course i said yes. 45 minutes later my scalp is on fire and its been at least 15 minutes longer than she told me the goo was supposed to be in for, i was really worried about it at this point. But way to scared to interrupt her appointment and ask. i feel like it was my fault so i just shut up and stare at her and hope she comes over which she does. She washes out the goo and shampoos me which feels like heaven after what my head has been through. So when she is done she says her next client is here and that she will put me under the drier and come right back. Another 45 minutes go by of me sitting under the drier, so long that the drier turns off my hair is dry and two other stylists come by and ask if i need anything. I have gone from sad/embarrassed to seething mad. She brings me over to her station straintnes and styles my hair all the while profusely apologizing for taking so long. To her absolute shock my hair looks perfect, incredibly healthy (no bald spots). So thankful not to be partially bald, to finally be done after 3.5 hours (1.5h longer than it should have been) it comes time to pay and instead of not tipping which god i wanted to i tipped well. I still felt bad. So i go to my next appointment. Nearly the first words out of my extensions girls mouth are 'uh did you know about this' and she proceeds to use a mirror to show me an about 2.5 inch section of my hair right on the back corner of my head where the hair has been cut to a half an inch. SHE DIDNT TELL ME AND SHE CUT OFF A 2.5' SECTION OF MY HAIR!!Every day i have to deal with the worst new growth cow lick . I paid $470 dollars and every time i moose it down or it ruins a picture i want to punch this women in the face.
