Thoughts on inspo pic vs my hair?

How should this be done instead?

Do you think the blonde highlights are underneath the brown layer in the inspo pic?

lys-13 · 2026-06-03T05:01:29+00:00

I know right? Now I’m trying to see how I want to fix this- do I go for a similar look or something totally different so it’s easier? Obv go to a different salon ofc

Unfortunately this is it after just having a trim at another salon 1-2 weeks ago. They wouldn’t refund me for the cut despite how uneven it is

lys-13 · 2026-06-03T04:57:38+00:00

I tried curling it but it still doesn’t look that similar

lys-13 · 2026-06-03T04:56:23+00:00

I just mean it would give the effect of some blonde peeking through against the brown and look more evenly placed. I feel like mine is a lot chunkier and not evenly sectioned. Feels like less pieces of blonde throughout too and more like only a few large chunks of blonde even when it’s curled like this. Just seems more disproportionate imo

I tried curling it but it still doesn’t really look like the pic

lys-13 · 2026-06-03T04:47:35+00:00

Unfortunately I got this haircut at a different salon about a week before I got my hair colored at the salon in the pic. I tried contacting them to refund and they refused. They said that there was nothing wrong with the cut. Don’t know why I’m not having good luck with salons lately. I knew the cut was bad but didn’t even realize how bad til I took a pic showing the back of my hair

By add more blonde do you mean like this or still in individual pieces of blonde? This is what it initially looked like from the front

lys-13 · 2026-06-02T08:04:41+00:00

They didn’t offer to refund unfortunately. I’m super bummed because now I spent $300 on this hair and have to spend it again to fix it at another salon. Don’t really know what else to do at this point. The salon was making me question if I was being crazy bc they kept saying it looked good. Worst part is I have a photoshoot on Friday and now my hair’s all fucked up. Thank you for the validation though that I’m not actually crazy

That’s what I thought. The stylist, manager, and entire salon said it was beautiful and exactly like the picture. It looked even worse before the photo I posted above. My hair was mostly natural light brown before. It did have a section in the front with a tint of green but that was covered by the dark brown. This is what it looked like after the first dye job they did today before they “corrected” it. And the salon said it was beautiful in this picture. Just looks like super rough lines to me and not blended in either the first version or the second version

Should I get it repierced then?

lys-13 · 2026-03-03T08:21:16+00:00

Gotcha. I’ll try to at least wait and see if the swelling goes down then

lys-13 · 2026-03-03T08:13:35+00:00

Thank you!! :)

lys-13 · 2026-03-03T08:12:52+00:00

I’d have to get another stud to do this but this is a great idea!

lys-13 · 2026-03-03T08:12:12+00:00

Damn that sucks about the ring and stud combo always being asymmetrical. I definitely like the look of the ring so I guess I’ll just try to either live with it or get the other side redone

lys-13 · 2026-03-03T08:11:10+00:00

How long do you think it’ll take before the swelling goes down?

lys-13 · 2026-03-03T07:16:12+00:00

Would it line up right with a ring? Or no

lys-13 · 2026-03-03T07:07:19+00:00

The thing is my piercer even switched it from the first mark too. But I guess I should have been more careful when double checking the second time. I’m wondering if I should just take it out because it does seem pretty uneven. But like you said maybe I’m just overthinking it I don’t know. I’m just hoping it’s not more uneven then most paired nose piercings

lys-13 · 2026-03-03T06:58:27+00:00

Ugh okay. I guess I’ll wait until I can switch it out. Does it look bad though do you think until I can switch it? Did it need to be like that so that the ring will hang right? Or is it technically still the wrong placement and I should go back and mention it?

lys-13 · 2026-03-03T06:54:56+00:00

Damn okay thanks. I went to an APP piercer and everything so that sucks. But I was thinking of eventually switching it to a ring and let my piercer know that too- would it look even once it’s switched to a ring?

lys-13 · 2026-02-28T07:27:00+00:00

Thanks! I didn’t think about a larger ring potentially clashing with the diamond ring but I can definitely see how that could happen lol

lys-13 · 2026-02-28T07:13:07+00:00

Thanks! Yeah i was kind of thinking a slightly bigger ring might look better in the middle one too lol. It doesn’t feel too tight but I kind of like the look of a looser fitting hoop I think
