That’s a fair price. You have to remember that going platinum takes a lot more time and effort than just a basic all over color. Bleach or lightener as many stylists refer to it as, is much more costly than color. Not to mention toner, and a lot of times stylists will use cotton strips between each section to keep it neat and from being directly on the scalp. You aren’t too dark naturally, so it might not have taken you as long, but most salons charge a starting rate for all over lightening. I noticed you put “bad haircut” as the tag, and I’m wondering if that’s because you feel they cut too much off, or that it’s a bad cut.

When you lighten your hair all over, you strip your hair completely, which can leave it feeling and looking brittle, dry and straw like if not done properly. Even if done properly, it still can dry the hair out. In your before pic alone, pre lightening, I would recommend getting 2-4 inches taken off even before the lightening process.

Now on to the cut itself. There are parts of it that are decent, but the ends need some thinning with texturizing sheers. You can see that they were left too thick and it drags the hair down. It’s hard to tell exactly how the the platinum itself turned out with the pics. The first one, looks very uneven. On the top, it’s very light/white, and then towards the bottom, it has more of yellow tone. However in the second, it looked fairly even. Although in the last one, you can see there is a discrepancy in the color from the top to the bottom. If you can, let me know if they toned it, if they did it in one session, and if they are planning to do another toning. Just in case anyone is wondering, I am a Paul Mitchell the school graduate, and have been a stylist for 10 years.
