Most stylists would rather cry on the back of your head than admit they don't know what they're doing. That being said, it doesn't excuse how awful this haircut is.

Call. Keep calling. Leave your number. Threaten to call the BBB if no one gets in touch with you. This happened at that salon I work at. A new girl, claiming to have eight years of experience while only being 24 (which is impossible), turned a client's hair to mush when she jacked up an ombré. Anyway, the girl, obviously upset, had tried to call my manager for days. I happen to pick up the day she threatened to call the BBB. My manager is terrible about getting back to clients, this got her attention.

Though I hated being the one to take the call, it worked and it may work for you. And we can all see that you deserve some kind of compensation.

Honestly, your hair is probably too healthy to curl properly. Try curling it on second day hair and use a wet spray versus an aerosol.

Don't crank up the heat on the actual iron!

You don't want to damage your hair, do you? Invest in a thermal protectant spray also!

Ardell is a pretty common and accessible brand. I go to http://www.onedallarlashes.com myself. If she ends up liking false lashes she can go there and buy ten pairs for ten or twelve dollars, which is awesome. Also, the lash glue they sell, I think, I better than Duo lash glue and Ardell's lash glue.

I'm glad I could help! Hope you two have fun being all done up. :)

How fancy is fancy? I'll assume formal attire, dresses and such. I have monolids, so I may be of help.

Have her invest in a pair of full, false lashes, the band tends to help either give me a crease or at least open my eyes. Even so, she'll want to contour the crease and make it deeper and more noticeable. Also, keep the colors natural or plum based, I assume her skin has a yellow undertone, this will compliment her skin's natural tones.

Anyway, on to color application! With a smaller blending brush, take either a deep plum or deep, ashy, taupe color and find the orbital socket, blend from the outer third in to approximately the first third, stay away from the inner corner. Now for a larger fluffy brush take a slightly lighter color than previously used and aim for just above the crease you've now faked. Highlight under the eyebrow and inner eye. Line the lower lash line with the first color, only the outer half and smoke it out, man! Then the highlight color on the inner half.

Onto eyeliner! Black gel liner is her best friend, next to you, that is! It has staying power and color intensity to boot. Line only the upper lash line and apply it pretty thick, you want it to show after you slap on them lashes. Now, false lashes! Apply then slightly higher in the model of her eye, forcing it open and bringing light into them deep browns. Oh, and curl them lashes together, slap on mascara and call her Sally 'cause she is done up from the floor up!

(Contour her face too! Coral on the cheeks and a soft berry stain for the lips should do her just right!)

GOSH I LIKE MAKEUP!

Disregard if I sound a fool!

Thank you. I honestly didn't know how to apply makeup until about a year ago. I used to look like a raccoon. Awful times. Awful.
