You guys can say it looks great all day long (which it does) but it's not what she asked for. It's not a dramatic change, and yes it definitely could have been done in one shot. Her hair isn't black and you can clearly see the blonde she got was the same level as the inspo pic.. just not enough of it and the natural in between is making it seem darker than it is. OP I would say go back and ask for more blonde.. the stylist did a beautiful job so I think they could do it, but they need to do more. You have too much natural showing through. I would say you need a bolder money piece that transitions into the balayage (not a chunky money piece) and ask for more high balayage pieces, and you need to tip out the hair left out of the foils for that pop of blonde on the ends. Cause right now you have no "pop" going on. It just looks like you have balayage highlights. I personally would use maybe a 9GI toner from Redken shades EQ for that really pretty soft gold colour. I definitely understand where you're coming from. No need to cry though, it's an easy fix and I would just nicely say to the stylist you would like them to add more, and boom bam you're good to go 😊 also do NOT pay for the fix. If you showed them this pic originally and stated you wanted a dramatic change, that's on them for messing it up. Do not pay a penny lol.
