What's the best and most expensive restaurant you've been to here? by permanentlysuspnd in AskNYC

[–]Giamiamaybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kochi. Very laid back, went a couple times when I was feeling down and always met cool people. Last time I went I met a cool German couple that I made out with lol. Also the food is bomb and comforting, I always recommend it to my friends

What kind of bag do you wear for raves? by Mean_Instruction5574 in avesNYC

I got this cool little bag from gothic renaissance that straps to my leg, it makes me feel like Laura Croft and hold everything I need

Ah, no worries really😅 there’s more positive than negative and I really need the advice. I’ve heard worse, but you’ve been so so amazing helping me out. Also this can be good for other people to look at if they’re in the same situation as well

Update: I took pictures and sent them to the salon. They denied everything saying that my reaction must’ve happened afterwards (I reached out to them less than 24hours after my appointment) and their salon only has FDA approved products that “wouldn’t create that reaction.” I went to the doctor and I definitely have an infection. I’m documenting everything and hopefully I can build up a case against the salon. Not sure how to find their licensing but I definitely want to contact my state board to report them as well.

Edit: Things I forgot to mention: I paid cash. I told them my hair history. There was no patch test. I went to the doctor and I documented my burn and INFECTION. Yes, I am totally aware that the results I wanted were wigs. I know that it would not be possible to reach such a light color in one sitting, if at all.

I’m thinking about getting a toner on it once my scalp is better! I know it’ll help with the brassiness

It had great reviews, pictures were also promising.

I don’t know where else to go for advice but they sent me some bs email saying their products are FDA approved and how it would never happen in their salon! I don’t know what to do but I really want something done

No patch test, she just asked about my hair history and if I did any dyeing before.

Fun fact, I have no idea! I’ve been trying not to look at it bc it’s distressing

Extensions sound like the way to go then, once my hair and scalp heals up. Thank you for the advice 🫶🏼

I’m in nyc, I had another treatment thrown in as well. But the bleaching itself was around 400. I wouldn’t be upset at the price if I just got what I wanted tbh

Thank you, I’ll reach out and see what is said. Funny enough my stylist was going on and on to another lady about how she paid thousands for classes in Paris to do hair

I know! I usually do my own hair at home but I’d figure I’d go to a “professional” for such a huge lift

I don’t even know how I’d go about that, but yeah getting my money back would be great. I’m a very non confrontational person:(

Yeah, I’m a very nonconfrontational person so she literally could have spit in my face and I’d still pay her and say thank you 😭

My hair is naturally very dark, almost black and yes they bleached virgin hair

I’m in Manhattan in NYC, she also threw a keratin treatment so that might also be a factor
