it cost me $400 and 12 hours sitting in the salon waiting in between a few other clients also

the salon is African Beauty on Enmore Rd

i know theres really not much i can do

I think I will go in and see her in a few days.

I just really didn't want to today

I know if i go there, she will just want to add to the mess,

ill just have to see,

maybe i will be able to tell her and she may see that all i want is to get rid of them.

ill keep updating.

I dont know her name

and I am in Australia, she is an African woman, maybe she doesn't, who knows

This lady is no professional. If I were there I would demand to see her license becauseI am beginning to doubt she has one. Do you actually have her first and last name? If so, I can look into this for you with the Licensing Board. You deserve a refund butI also understand your reluctance to deal with this woman. I am soooo sorry. And that fact that she wants to "see what she can do" is absurd because there is nothing to fix what she has done.
I think you are wise to cut this mess off and start over the right way. How much (if you don't mind me asking) did this horrible woman charge you? I am just sick over this. I can't apologize enough, something she should be doing.

So my asking for a refund today didnt go so Good.

And refunds is not how the lady works. That it was not her fault she has done many dreads before, even on bleached hair and never had a problem. She wants me to come in and see what she can do to fix it.

But I dont want this, I dont really want to do anything to it, only shave it and start over so it can be healthy,

I dont really want braids or hair extensions..

Im going to have to look into what I can do.

I dont have the balls to go in there and see her, I know I am weak and will not win this fight.

Yes that is a good idea...

I will make a short vid for u tube...

I wish I knew all of this before I went ahead and wish the solution was never put on there.. then i could have had beautiful dreads as my hair was pretty long also.. so sad!!

I will let them grow naturally now.. And hopefully hang in there to get a full head!~

I will be calling tomorrow to try and get my money back!

will let you all now how i go!

thanks again everyone!!

keep us updated I would like to know what the hair dressser tells you. You hair probably will take a lil while to grow but if they are already falling out anyway the sooner you cut the sooner your hair will be long enough to start again, the right way. What do you mean "a shave for kids"?? Some sort of charity? Best of luck.

Thank you every one for your concerns..

Im afraid I wont be going to sue.. But I will try and get my money back even though it has been this long

For some reason i still blame myself a bit, as I was the stupid one that didnt do any research

Maybe we are a tad bit uneducated here!

When I did make the booking I told the lady I had very bleached hair and she thought nothing of it.

When I returned she offered to put in extensions of braids... and that the next time I come in we should cut it all off and she can do braids... But im like noooooooo i dont want them

So I will give her a call tomorrow with a planned out conversation, asking for a refund and if not I will take legal action.

There really isnt much I can do..

I know you all say so easily start again... but im afraid my hair will take too long to grow!~

Ill try living with it for a little longer, although it is summer and i love the ocean! So i think i will be losing a few more..

The ony good thing that will come out of this, will be a shave for kids if I can make it to the end of the year!

As you can see im going to lose a lot more

Hi

About 6 months ago I went to get my hair dreaded in a salon, using a perm solution,

A few of my freinds had, had their hair done there previously, So I didnt really second think my decision. After the hours of teasing I was sent home with no advice..

I was told to wash my hair as usual with my regular shampoo, so I did.

After the 1st wash I lost a few dreads and started to fret

I went back to where I got it done and the lady had no idea what was going wrong...

so poopy me hadnt done any research..

and half of my hair fell out

and still is.

the dreads are all drooping to the ends leaving a string in the middle that eventually snaps

I have lost the underneath half of my hair, it is now about an inch long,

Undecided on weather i should go some where to get extensions

i love the dreads but many many more are on there verge of falling out.

I really dont want to shave my head!!

I def. should have done it the natural way, but is too late now
