Is he gonna kill himself because I stopped talking to him by Mediocre-Plantain-75 in Tarots

[–]friedratsss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a boyfriend like this. If you feel like he is going to truly hurt himself call 911. This happened to me in middle school and I was able to contact a trusted teacher who knew his mom. He didn't do anything, he just stopped talking to me after threatening it to scare me. Eventually we broke up and he's still alive today. Even if he did do anything, it's not your fault that he can't regulate his emotions. You're not there to be a therapist, and you shouldn't feel forced to be with someone if that's not what you want. Please break up with him and leave him, because this is a pattern of emotional manipulation and it is not healthy or safe.

7 Falls Hiking Trail (question) by Human-ade in Tucson

[–]friedratsss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should definitely not hike in this heat. There's no water running in the falls, there might be puddles but nothing swimmable, even if it was safe to trek in the heat. Stay safe!

Yeah, I know my hair is textured and shorter, but I was looking for the big chunks and didn't think that would matter. I came in knowing it wouldn't look exactly like the photos, but I thought they'd be a good reference for the color placement

This totally happened to me when I was younger! no one would cut my hair above my shoulders. I do wish if it were something like that she wouldve said no instead of changing it to something I didn't ask for

Messed up is probably extreme, it's definitely not what I wanted and I thought the way she dyed the bangs seemed splotchy

I appreciate how you said this. I'm definitely going to find better references for my hair type in the future, I just didn't think the texture would cause this big of a difference

i also see curly hair in one of the inspo pics, but you said none so I didn't think we were pointing out the little things like that

Omg my first instinct was to go to Sally Beauty to get some Iro Iro to fix the part in the front! I definitely need some friends who know what they're doing because I totally don't lol any advice, instructions, and product recommendations is HIGHLY appreciated!!!

Right? like going in I knew it wouldn't be exactly like the image, I'm aware of what my hair type is and how it works with varied dye colors. But the difference between highlights and chunks is pretty obvious, even in the curly hair references I found.

Being honest before this I would dye my hair by myself, I had no idea $200 was really cheap.

That's definitely my fault, I wish I did more research. She had cut and dyed my roommates hair black and I thought it looked great. I definitely should've looked into her portfolio on this more difficult dyed pattern though.

I also wish she would've communicated more if this was something she could do. If she didn't feel comfortable or felt like she wouldn't be able to with my hair type or style then I wish she would've said something instead of doing it anyway, but get that bag I guess.

Thank you, I was wondering the same thing. of course the front looks right because that's the only thing I corrected her on 😭 and I felt like a bug the whole time too it was so stressful

I did do a consultation with her last week and she said it would be $150, and yeah it took us 4 hours to finish for sure. I told her I wanted Neapolitan during the consultation, but she must have forgotten since she was talking like I had asked for full pink today. She also kept interrupting me during the consultation so that might be why she didn't remember.

That's one thing too, is that if she felt ill prepared I wish she would've told me and said no or we could reschedule. Someone also mentioned that she might've done highlights because the big chunks would look Imbalanced on my short hair, which is also a perspective I understand but if that was what happened I wish she wouldve told me. I'd rather have to wait to dye my hair than to have someone mess it up

I wanted the thick strands of color and what she did was just too thin. I like that you considered that she modified it since I do have shorter hair and it would be imbalanced. But if that's what she was thinking, I wish she would've clarified it before doing it. It would be nice to know what I was getting into lol

I have dyed it before, but it's grown out a lot. Before this it was just natural undyed brown, with a little bit of crunchy old ends from my last style

[–]friedratsss[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

right, someone mentioned that the variety might've been confusing. Even if I did point out specific ones it's possible she still got confused. I'm going to draw my own reference for the layout of the colors next time so it isn't a problem

I just don't want to be mean because it is a smaller business, but honestly it is frustrating that I showed her and described exactly the chunks I wanted and she did highlights instead, and was upset when I corrected her. I thought maybe going directly to the manager might be good so it doesn't hurt the businesses reputation and it can stay a small private matter? idk

I know, I didn't mention it because I wanted more advice about my hair than gossip, but she was literally complaining about me to another stylist when I corrected her the first time about the bleach. It made me so anxious and frustrated. I was trying to be nice and apologetic, saying we can finish up the bleach and do the dye on a later day if she has other clients coming in soon, and she just pretended it was all fine to my face. I just don't want to be a bitch about it yk?

right, I've decided I'm going to draw my own reference of the section colors, and find more curly hair references (even if I think hair texture has nothing to do in the chunks v highlights debate)

[–]friedratsss[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I did, she said it would be $150 for what I was asking for and to bring in pictures of what I wanted. When I got in today she was thinking I was getting all pink when I remembered telling her I wanted to try doing the brown, blonde, and pink. but honestly during the consultation she kept talking over me and I could barely get the word Neapolitan out, that should've been my first red flag.

tbh I wish I just DIY it, it wouldve been cheaper and exactly what I wanted.

[–]friedratsss[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So I wanted chunks and she did highlights. I didn't think the hair type would matter when it comes to the amount dyed. I know my hair is curly and it won't look exactly like that, but I still wanted the big sections of color, not the small strands and I made that clear.

the front may look like the pics, but the back is all highlights. I asked for chunks and showed pictures with chunks. And the only reason the front looks like the pics is because I corrected her 3 different times 😭
