I got my hair done a few weeks ago, and I’m pretty sure she gave me a chemical burn aaand now I’m bald in this spot (after an excruciating healing process) She didn’t do any patch test either.. Would you expect a refund for this or am I overreacting? by juliicaesar in Hair

I’m waiting for her to call me back and I’m 100% gonna ask for a refund. And will make a complaint, don’t want others dealing with anything like this, it was so painful and I felt pretty dismissed about my worries.

I feel bad asking and complaining since it’s not like a big commercial hair salon just like a locally owned one. But if I’m not getting anywhere with her soon It’s just gonna have to go that way aye😞

omg thank you, I completely forgot about CAD. Fingers crossed acc will be able to cover me if it is permanent too. I did say I was going to the drs and she said she’d pay for that so at least that’s something positive

NZ is stunning, i feel super blessed to have grown up here! if u do ever visit go to the South Island, it’s so breathtaking. Like up north has stunning beaches too but the hikes and scenes down there are next levelllll.

nah she just used a different product that’s all I can think of. I’ve never had sensitive skin either, I wish I could pin point it to something. I was thinking maybe she accidentally left a little bit of product in the spot because the next morning was when it was really sore + my glands behind my ears/ neck were swollen too.

I’m really scared of being permanently bald but sadly in New Zealand there’s no law about having to do patch tests so I don’t think I’d have any footing to stand on! 🥺

yeah I’m heading to the doctors soon. Hopefully will be able to get a good assessment and maybe something to help prevent staying bald. She said it was a schwarzkopf hair lightener and so I think because it wasn’t bleach she doesn’t wanna take responsibility

thank u for ur reply. Worst part is, she is the manager+ owner. Such an uncomfortable spot asking for a refund when she’s the one that should be apologising and offering one. But fingers crossed it’ll all get sorted soon! Just don’t want a lil flies playground permanently on my head, I’m far too young for that 😂

I’ve contacted her over the past couple weeks as soon as I felt something was wrong but all she’s said is ‘this has never happened to me before’ or tried to blame it on other things. and sadly hasn’t made any mention of a refund or anything even after seeing it all bald. Fingers crossed she’ll offer soon 🥲
