You should write an honest review on their yelp and on google. A good colorist would have used a low developer and just tone it. Also, it’s sad that you keep making excuses for them throughout the video. You are right to be mad.
ABSOLUTELY this is why we trust professionals. For them to be PROFESSIONAL
Yeah, why didn't they just tone and condition or even give her a temporary color to take with her? The stress of NYFW combined with this mistake then those stylists not taking responsibility, gaslighting THEN trying to ride her tailcoat is astonishing.
@@atomiclisa I dunno man, at 5:55 she kinda gives the game away. If her hair was already that damaged, that means that whenever she got her roots touched up, the other salon was also going all the way down the hair at the end. Otherwise, her hair wouldn't have been getting more damaged over time. So this was accumulative. It's crazy that either salon would ever take the bleach down the shaft, even for the last five minutes, instead of advising her on using brightening and purple shampoos, and of course toning every other root touch-up.
@@Uhohlisa Agree. I thought it looked like the first stylist went well past the line of demarcation, too.
@@Uhohlisa at 5.26 she also admits her hair was already damaged from having her roots touched up all the time, she needs to take accountability for allowing 2 different salons to bleach her already damaged hair 3 times in row in such a short space of time, has she never heard of Brad Mondo....lol
I was a hair stylist for 10 years of my life, girl idk how I came across your channel to watch this video but I want to validate you that you were 100% mistreated by these stylists I am SO sorry. I want to apologize for the behalf of those stylists for you. My goodness, I hope that your next blonding sessions have made up for these experiences because you deserve the absolute best ❤ You are absolutely beautiful too btw inside and out.
Also your reframe of what you learned at the end is absolutely impactful and more women need to hear this message. I commend you so much for your vulnerability. Hair is not just hair. This left a psychological impact and room for major growth on life lessons that more people need to hear too. Thanks for sharing this story I think you’re really awesome 👏
@@EighthHouseSun yes my specialty is color no curly hair, color in straight hair I stick to my specialty
This happens to so many people all over the world just not many have a UA-cam channel or a big following for people to care
I saw the short about this and then was recommended this video.🤷🏻♀️
This opinion means a great deal to me. I didn’t know if this problem was normal…
100% SHADY BUSINESS. they definitely gave you that waiver because they knew they fucked up and took advantage of you in such a vulnerable state. i hope you heal from this 🥺❤️
Yeah
There's something called "under duress" when it comes to signing anything. If she can get a lawyer to prove that they had her sign the document under extreme stress, they can get the waiver thrown out.
@@gummy5862 plus they got her to sign it AFTER they ruined her hair
You were the first person I heard talk about how differently people treat you after drastically cutting your hair. I shaved my head for fun after dying my hair pink for the summer back in 2018. My highschool didn't allow me to attend with dyed hair and I really didn't want to deal with bleached unevenly dyed brunette hair, so my mom took me to the salon and I shaved it all off. I was feeling myself, I was happy I was saving time in the shower, buying giant earrings and not worrying about blowdrying.
But then stuff started to happen; I was called sir, I was trash talked by my ex-boyfriend, I was asked what I did to be punished like that, men stopped opening doors for me and I got funny looks on the street. I was even asked if I had cancer or if I was mentally ill, if my family situation was okay and if I was feeling suicidal, I looked better before, why would I do that, what bet did I loose, blah blah blah blah blah blah
It made me a little insecure at first, It made me question my beauty, my worth, my femininity and the way I was perceived.
A couple of years later I found your Instagram account Liz, and I thought you were so beautiful, with your blonde pixie cut, I started following you. I felt seen and heard by your sharing your story, thank you so much for that.
I think you are so beautiful Liz, I don't know you personally and I know all the extra pressure on your looks being a model can cause. But I'm sure that your appearance is the least interesting thing about you.
P.S. The salon was also asking me not to sue them... I was 14 lol
It's nothing personal. Culturally in the United States women who do anything that is considered unfeminine, such as cutting their hair, they are automatically labeled as mentally unstable. It's bullcrap, and I'm happy that you know it now 💜
Why would the salon ask you not to sue them? You chose to shave your hair?
@@Grayyy__ I did chose to shave my hair, but the people at the salon were very hesitant to shave my hair and that I would instantly regret it and then sue them.
i shaved my hair after I finished school and I 100% feel u. I was already over 20 years old by that point.. I cant imagine how though this must have been at such a young age
Men stopped opening doors for you at 14? I don’t mean to invalidate your experience at all, which makes me disappointed in humanity. But do you mean guys at school didn’t keep the doors open on your way to class? Or at the mall/shops? 14 year old boys are the literal worst so I’m not surprised about your ex.
Literally I’m 1000% thinking you signed that waiver under duress and it should not be validated. I know lawyers are expensive and trying to fight them on this could take even more mental toll. But I’m absolutely LIVID just listening to how they treated you. It’s one thing to make a mistake, albeit an upsetting one that put your career at risk. But did them to treat you the way they did (not tell you how bad the damage is, casually eating pizza while holding a toning makeup hostage for the waiver, posting your photos to take credit for the hair, then threatening to Sue you??????? It makes my blood boil to hear them take advantage of your vulnerable state the way that they did.
You and I were thinking along the same lines. This was defiantly a waiver signed under duress.
I can't believe they didn't warn u of the damage bleaching could cause to your hair.
💯
Yes and if she took a picture the phone will have the exact time the picture was taken! So she can use it as evidence that the damage was already done
EVERYTHING they said here in these comments and more! The gall for them to post YOUR photo and take credit for the hair!!??!?! And threaten to sue you?!?!!!!! WTF?
😡🤬
Please seek legal counsel!! (I wish my late dad was still here, he'd help you...) Don't let them get away with it-you have 'documented' it with your phone! Good luck!🤞🏻🤞🏻
🌹
Blessings to you and your viewers~💫☃️
🌛🌹🌜
If you don’t SUE (I wish desperately you would/could) you should ABSOLUTELY write reviews and post pictures on every site you can.
AGREED. YOU SHOULD SUE THEM, THEY DID YOU DIRTY!
There is no waiver in the world that would hold up to that much professional negligence. I would be very surprised if they had any grounds to sue you for.
Society genuinely treats women with short hair very differently than women with long hair. When I got my pixie cut, it was so confusing how people interpreted everything I wore and did than when I had long hair. It raised A LOT of questions about society and my identity
What was the difference
Really? How did people treated you different? I had short hair and long hair too and didnt notice anything
It's not "just hair", it's a traumatic experience. This whole thing is nightmare fuel, seriously 😳. I'm really happy for you that you were able to grow and learn so much from this experience.
Anytime anyone says something like “it’s just hair” I always refer them to the scene in season two of Fleabag when the main character’s sister gets a horrible haircut and they go into the salon and stand up to the hairdresser. It’s a funny scene but it makes a lot of good points. Hair is important. There’s a reason why they put money and effort into developing “cold caps” for cancer patients to wear during chemo so they don’t have to lose their hair. As I cancer survivor myself, I can’t even begin to say how much I wish those had been around when I went through chemo. I was only 11 and loosing my hair was probably one of the most traumatic parts of my cancer journey.
Them trying to take credit for your beautiful hair is messed up!! I can’t believe they stole credit for that hair artist that actually fixed the mess! 😢
No matter what you sign (in any situation), negligence is negligence and malice is malice.
Girl i’m so sorry you had to go through such a traumatic experience. Anyone who says it’s “just hair” doesn’t know what it feels like until you’ve gone through something similar. I had a bad colouring experience too (not near as bad as yours) but i remember how upset and angry i felt about it and still feel at times when i look at how my hair was before. For you to be so lenient towards those stylists and make excuses for them is madness!!You’re such a sweet soul, i just hope you don’t ever let anyone treat you like that again because they f’d up BIG TIME and then had the nerve to make you sign a waiver AND take credit for your fashion week hair look…..they deserve to get sued. Anyhow, your hair looks lovely now and I hope you feel happy with yourself the way you are ❤
Oh damn. I heard 'its just hair' excuse too much. People want to look certain way to feel themselves. When someone fuccs that up of course they are gonna be mad lol
Hair is very important ...but its not like she lost it due to illness/permanently. Hair grows fast and her hair came back great.
It's really not a HUGE tragedy
@@094Dasha yes its not a huge tragedy. It could be worse, she could have her head burned by chemicals.
Trueee
The fact that they fucking made you sign a waiver, and then posted a picture of you after other stylists made your hair look nicer for a fucking runway makes me so angry
Wow those hair stylists at the show were absolutely amazing. I can imagine how stressful that would be. I can’t believe they used your photo for a promo!!! Dodgy af.
That’s the most baffling part of all! They had the nerve!!
They cannot sue you for anything you say as long as you are telling the truth. You are clearly telling the truth.
I would also give a review for the sake of letting others know so the can use caution if they are getting a procedure that might put them at risk of over processing their hair.
Many don’t realise how important hair is to a woman. You are so honest. You look great.
Girl, that's a trauma response, it makes you emotional and feel weird because it was a traumatic event for you. You did the best you could, and the 'professionals' let you down. It's not your fault, your hair is growing again, you know now who to trust with your hair, and you've done such a great job at accepting it and processing what happened by finding positives from it, like finding yourself. Hugs to you. Hair can be so important to us xxx
Your perspective on how others treat you based on your looks is 100% spot on. I’m pretty average, but one of my closest friends is drop dead gorgeous! People treat the both of us very differently even though we have fairly similar personalities (grew up together). To the point of people actually ignoring my presence completely when she is around.
Good for you on growing from it. I know I have.
I was so intrigued by the shorts you posted on this topic and had to look into it more, because i believe that people dont take enough accountability for their actions these days, and when it comes to doing business with others, choosing whether or not to acknowledge your mistakes and weakness, especially with someone who is looking for expert services that they are willing to pay good money for, can make or break your reputation. And its examples like this, where a sweet, innocent, good person is just trying to reach a certain goal, and people who what to display as business professional choose to take advantage of unfair opportunities, where you aren’t sure because you don’t have the experience, but its an opportunity to make money, bound to make mistakes that ends up fucking with another person’s life. And you dont want to be the bad guy and fuck their system up by calling them out, but that’s where its necessary and right to call someone out, because not only do they need to acknowledge that they have a weakness, but others should know that this is the type of person they’re going to choose to be, by trying to get over on “experimental” clients, then potential clients should be informed of that. So, to be quite honest, if you don’t call them out, you’re essentially bringing this up on social media for views and attention.
I'm reading the comments and I'm just so glad that you're receiving so much warmth and compassion and validation in response to your story. Thank you so much for your open-hearted and vulnerable sharing of this traumatic time in your life, I feel so much for you! On the bright side, I'm sure a lot of young girls will benefit from hearing about your experience by becoming more conscious and alert to what mistreatment, manipulation and being taken advantage of may look like. Our rage, upset, and pain are messengers informing us when other people have crossed some important boundaries, and it's so important that we relearn how to listen to our inner truths instead of repressing/ gaslighting ourselves. I'm so proud of you for finding your voice, expressing your truth and coming into new growth and healing. You are a beautiful soul!!
I was a model 15 years ago, and dealing with depression, listening to every word you say, gives me anxiety and more anxiety, I almost cried and angry, your story could help all the young models out there about legal actions and others, thank you for doing this, one of my UA-cam content is going to be about what to expect if you are chosen or choose to be a model, how to deal with certain things, but YOU GO GIRL, BE EXTRAORDINARY BECAUSE YOU CAN!
Your whole demeanor is so mature, gracious, and a breath of beauty. I personally think you should write a review on their yelp/google (if you feel compelled to, don’t feel pressured into doing anything you don’t want to do, you’ve already been through a lot) or make a video naming them so that it won’t happen to another client. There’s nothing legally they can threaten you with. I assume their friend threatened a defamation suit, but defamation is spreading lies, NOT telling the truth of what happened.
I lost all my hair due to illness at 20yr old and it was devastating to me. Silly to say now but I was more concerned for the loss of my hair than I was for the illness. How you're feeling is so relatable and you have the right to say and feel how your feeling even months after. My hair loss was 30yrs ago and though it grew back and I have had different colors and styles since, that time in my life still holds significants. It's a loss and you are allowed to grieve that loss. Hair is part of our identity, character, personality, and style and it's not ok for how that salon treated you. You are more resilient from this experience!
WHOA...what a truly HORRIBLE experience.
My take aways from this:
1. You are a very nice and patient person. I would have gone OFF on them the moment the colorist was condescending to me after my comment about my hair/scalp feeling warm/hot.
2. You ROCK the pixie/short hair style...and look stunning.
3. You should pursue this hack of a hairdresser so others don't have the same horrible experience you did.
4. SUE them for using your pix illegally!
I think you handled the hair loss like a champ, having your hair burned off is a nightmare. You truly are such a beautiful sweet person. Keep on being the sweet person you are. You are a great example how even through a very difficult period, you can come out it with a smile on your face.
As a stylist for 10 years, this story was making my stomach hurt
I’m not a stylist and I know you’re supposed to check every 5 minutes. No over lapping.
Everybody messes up at least once in their carreer, whatever jobtitle it may be. Humans aren't perfect. But to then run away from it, not taking ownership, bashing the costumer instead 🤯 that's evil. And Liz here is a saint in comparison. I am not sure this 'not telling who it was' is how it should go, but mad respect for her composure.
That was such an awful experience, wouldn't wish it onto anyone. I can totally relate to your feelings of panicking & not really standing up for myself. Not in the fashion career sense that is, but in other life aspects. I very much love your takeaways from it & it made me subscribe to you.
That stylist has so much to answer for. She probably barely thought about it again, where as you had to deal with the aftermath for so long. Not even just personally, also professionally!!
Started this video thinking I wouldn’t finish it because I’m not one who watches a lot of hair videos. But you told the story so well and I was feeling all the emotions and anxieties with you! I’m furious that that happened to you, but I’m also really happy that you’ve grown so much from the experience. Thank you for sharing this!
I'm not even a hair stylist but have a lot of experience doing my own hair and touching up friends' roots and I can tell you right off the bat that your hair didn't need to be wrapped like that. Wrapping adds heat, heat makes bleach process faster and your hair had already been bleached a lot so slow and steady is the best way to go and you should ALWAYS keep checking it and listen to the client. I'm appalled. I just got highlights done and wasn't even doing as dramatic a bleach job and my stylist STILL kept a close eye on my hair to make sure everything was going okay.
This gave me anxiety while you were sharing your story I can only imagine how you must’ve felt!!
I’m so sorry this happened to you! I hope you heal. You’re beautiful no matter what 💖
GIRL YOU ROCKED EVERY SINGLE HAIR CUT !!!!!! WHEN YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL NOTHING CAN HOLD YOU BACK REMEMBER THAT !
You have every right to be petty. It's like cutting a surgeon's fingers. This is what you do for a living, it's not like "ok whatever I'll try this style for a while". I am extremely mad at this know-it-all hairdressers. When you say it warms up and raise your concerns, she should have at leaasstttt checked what was going on. I am not a hairdresser but even I know it shouldn't feel warm in the head. You are a veryyyy sweet person, just pleasee please sue them so that they can't do the same to another person. Just imagine what they would do to a regular person whose job has nothing to do with her hair... just imagine.
Thank u for being so vulnerable and open. Ur story is very emotional bc beyond hair, beyond ur work... which r all important. Ur trust was taken advantage off. Ur trust was violated. Thats the most emotionally disturbing part.
I'm sorry love. I agree u experienced a legit trauma and I hope ur journey leads u to a place of strength, courage, love and wisdom.
Be well❤❤❤❤
I had a pixie for over 7 years and at one point shaved my whole head. I had gone through allllll those emotions and social interactions you talk about and by the end of it all (trying to grow it out again, right now its at my collar bones for the first time in years) I realized that hair is just that. Hair. It doesn't make or break me. I do that. Granted hair makes us all feel one way or another and allows us to express ourselves. But giiiiirls, you are not your hair. I promise people will like and love you with or without it! I fuckin love you Liz thank you for sharing all this!
Just here to drop some love ❤️ listening to your story I want to mention how brave and courageous you are! ❤️ you are worthy and beautiful internally and externally, a belief you are clearly cultivating so well in yourself already! Hang in there throughout this journey, kudos for using this experience as a jumping point towards self exploration and love! ❤ very impressive for someone your age and living in the industry you work in!
Also.. your realization about society once your appearance had changed slightly, really highlighted how smart and observant you are!
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 great job out there!!
This happened to me too. Wanted to switch from my brown to blonde - I used to be blonde and then let my hair grow out during covid. And I went to a new place that specialized with colors and I said my hair take bleach like really well but they didn't fully believe me and by the time they checked on my hair 1/3 had burned off. And the day after was my 30th birthday AND first day at a new job. However, they were amazing post-accident. Ofc, I didn't pay for my hair that day. And they gave me recovery treatments weekly and then for the past year I got every treatment for free - like every time they touched up my hair (I went for a reddish/strawberry blonde). So like compared to what happened in this story... My stylists reacted amazingly and I appreciate them so much for that. My confidence would have been destroyed had it not been for them doing their absolute best to make my hair look good until it grows back (extensions, styling etc).
Omggg this story is HORRIFIC. I thought the waiver was bad but then the audacity for them to TAG you and then the threatening DM. 😱😡 You’re such a sweetheart and it’s a dog eat dog world completely chock full of people with gigantic egos who cannot admit their lack of knowledge and absolutely would NEVER admit when they screw up due to their own ignorance. I’m so sorry you had to go through this. You look amazing now but still this whole story is so traumatic. I’m also in awe of how you took this totally terrible thing that was done to you and used it as an opportunity for reflection and as a springboard for growth. Really remarkable and shows your character as a human ❤
I’m so happy for you and thanks for sharing your story with us🥰
Omg girl, you would be so within your rights to lawyer up! 🤬 I'm fuming for you right now
Thank you! I think you're helping a lot of people by sharing your story, or at least it's been therapeutic for me ♥
Because you talk about similar experiences I have had it is easier for me to reflect on yours and allow myself having emotions about my experiences, instead of thinking I'm overreacting or that I'm crazy for feeling emotional about it. When I listen and hear you say it, it makes total sense this isn't fair at all.
Once upon a time I have also signed something under pressure, which I should never have signed and it screwed me up later on. I think I never will go back and try to fix things legally, because I'm scared of reliving the whole situation which was very painful in the first place.
When you talked about people treating you differently, because you weren't representing the ideal beauty standard anymore I felt that as well. I used to be very skinny, naturally. My metabolism changed I think around the age of 22, because I gained some weight quite suddenly. I wasn't mad about it, I was finally 'normal sized' and all I wanted was to fit in. But I experienced the same thing you described with men and women treating me differently. But when I said exactly what you described, people went well out of their way to correct me.
Sorry for the long comment and if someone is still reading this> 🤜🤛
I love you
Thank you ❤️For making this because I just melted my hair and am trying to cope with all of things many of us feel about our appearance and hair especially. I think this will help a lot of people- and hope that you are doing very well now and continue doing more videos if you want to of course. Best of luck 💗🌟
Dang.... You poor thing. I'm not a colorist and even I know your hair was already over processed and all they definitely shouldn't have done more bleach. Any decent colorist wouldn't have done that to you. This is crazy. And it's way more than shady that they made you sign that waiver after.
If you want to go blonde again, I'd definitely find someone that specializes and give yourself weekly hair masks and go in to the salon in between coloring sessions for toning sessions. It's expensive to stay blonde and keep it healthy, but it's worth it if you love it.
You could have probably still gotten a lawyer involved even with the waiver but I understand not wanting to deal with it anymore. However I'd definitely leave an honest review letting others know how this salon was. Other people shouldn't have this happen to them
There are some salons and stylists that specialize in hair repair
Yeah maybe an overall tone to a medium blonde would have been better
I would challenge this waver legally.
You signed it under duress..which is not good.
They knew you were out of your depth and took advantage by intimidating you with a legal doc that you didn't understand at the time.
Also doc was presented after this fiasco happened.
Shady business indeed and lady leaving you unattended also with no option for you to get up or stand- totally unprofessional.
DMing you to low key threaten you? Oh boy these folks are really stupid.
I would definitely lawyer up.
Your not being petty, your look is part of your brand and livelyhood.
If you're in touch with the great stylists in those runway shows, i hope you passed along info about this horrible salon so they can warn other models to not go there!
Pro tip:
If any document is ever presented to you in the future of a legal nature and you don't understand it don't sign anything until you do.
Shine on fr the inside dear lady..i hope 23' will be a great year for Health, Discovery and Healing for you! 🥀🙏🏼🇨🇦
Thank you for sharing your story…
Something very similar happened to me (I’m not a model though).
Worst experience ever, still!
It was just really comforting to listen to someone who shared the “same” experience and feelings that I did…
I am so sorry that you had to go through all of this emotional pain. I agree that people put way too much emphasis on looks. I am happy that you got to explore who you are without hair to find the real essence of you. I am a person who has always been heavy, and people judged me harshly because of it. Being discounted as a human being because of weight is such an insult. People never stopped to find out that I am a valuable person with deep insight, empathy, knowledge and understand of people places and things. Your personal value is who you are at the core, not the outward dressing. I see a kind, and gentle spirit in you. As unfortunate as losing your hair was it made you a better person. Bless you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so sorry this happened to you. It’s not just hair. And I don’t know anybody with hair who would think that! I’m glad you are physically through that traumatic event. ❤
You're beautiful on the inside as well as the outside. You don't even know how strong you are. Be proud of the self growth of this experience! ❤
😭 you're too sweet about the whole thing. They messed up really bad and none of this sounds like your fault. They just wanted to take advantage of your niceness to cover themselves because they knew it was bad
you are beautiful no matter what. Losing hair is always devastating. You are such an adorable and honest "model". I thought models were all the same but you are genuine and lovely.
A person’s hair says so much about them so having to wear it in a way that’s not your preference is so tough. I love my hair and would be devastated if it was damaged like this. Good on you for talking about it.
The highlights without bleached brows was by far the most flattering on you IMO
Wow I am new to you, it started with one of your shorts and I had to find out more! You poor thing! I was a stylist for 16 years and cannot believe what they put you thru, sadly there are too many salons like that which try to do it all without training and the professionalism to be honest with you. This journey you are on is crazy, your experience with guys and other girls is so sad and you confirmed what I have always believed your hair can make or break how you feel about yourself. You are coming out on the other end of this experience taking the positives from it and I commend you so much. Think of maybe how you can help other girls and guys to be aware and able to let their warning signals go off. Peace and love
GIRL! you can totally be emotional about your hair !! ITS OKAY !! As women I don't think like people understand out Hair is a part of our identity && losing it like having it fall put is so scary !!. I started losing mine during covid bc stress && my relationship during 2020 so I know how you feel. Sending you love!! 🤍🤍🤍
It's okay to get upset. This was your livelihood.
It's okay to get upset even if it wasn't her livelihood. Hair is important.
@@pandakatiefominz true. Half of all women experience hair loss in their lives. It's a really horrible thing for women especially. We expect and accept that guys go bald but women aren't supposed to, and it's awful if/when it happens.
I’m excited for this story! I am finally getting the full experience and out of UA-cam shorts!
it's not "just hair". it's a part of your body. i am sorry what happened to you and amazed at how you handled such a difficult situation and actually turned it into something that almost served you in a spiritual way.
❤thank you for sharing! We need more like this on UA-cam. You are a beautiful soul.
I would love to hear you talk more about your experience of short hair. And also your journey in terms of your relationship with your appearance. Like it must genuinely be soooo tough to have your job soooo intrinsically linked to what you look like.
I only want to say this;
Seems like u learned a lot about the world (and yourself afterwards) on a bloody unfair hard way.
I think your story is inspiring for other girls.
Thanks 4 sharing❤ and I think u look amazing with and without hair
Brad mondo should react to this video
Yes he totally should!
Yes yes absolutely yes!!
Yes definitely.... yoohoo Bradley 💋
Having a pixie cut is a wild experience! People really do treat you different! Plus the growing out period is fcking rough! But it’s rough for everyone growing out a pixie cut so you’re not alone 🖤
Also rip to your hair and you did the best you could in a traumatic experience and I’m glad you’re doing okay now
Different how? My hair is super short and buzzed in the sides. Mostly I get compliments.
This is a nightmare!!! I would be totally distraught. They deserve legal repercussions. It's literally their job to do hair and they failed at it horribly. I'm so glad you're recovering I can't imagine how difficult this would be
You are wise beyond your years. My hair is to my hips. I had a hair dresser cut off most my hair and thin it out when I went in for a trim. It messed with my mental state for months and it was a tough thing to discuss. My hair was my identity and I never said anything to the hair dresser. I went through trust issues for years.
I really think your agency should help with legal action. While I know you’re not a vengeful person you could help others avoid this huge mistake. The waiver was a sign they were guilty with no remorse for you. While it’s over and you moved past from this it still doesn’t make it right how they handled the situation.
Iv had the same thing happen! What do they gain by cutting off way ore than you ask for!
Your hair is grown so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am a hairstylist and blonde specialist I have sooo many comments but basically I’m sorry this had happened to you and would hate for this to make you never go blonde again! you look absolutely killer blonde!!!
Same. I’ve been a hairstylist for almost 20 years, colorist who don’t respect hair lightener and who would do something like this make me so sad and angry for their clients who have to go through something like this. I get so many color corrections that come in from other salons and their hair has been through the gauntlet. Lots of tears shared. There are so many great blonde specialists out there who do some AMAZING work though. And I love my job cause there is always new things to learn.
Sometimes the best thing a colorist can learn, is how to tell a client no.
I don't know if you even read these responses, but I hope you see this.
I have no interest in fashion. I don't know why your videos came across my feed. But I am thankful that I clicked on that first video and those that followed and that I eventually clicked follow, because I think you're an inspirational person. I have asked my daughter to follow you for that reason. While she will never face your wardrobe challenges, she does share in many of the other challenges you face, and I am thankful to have you to present as a role model for facing depression and anxiety through dietary changes rather than depending upon pharmaceuticals, and for facing life with a good attitude.
You look so amazing and healthy on your new diet compared to the pics you show of your earlier modeling career. I am happy for you.
Many thanks for what you do.
Oh dear god!! All she had to do was TONE it. Start on the ends, then do the roots. Oh gawd. Just found your channel and looove your shorts/videos ❤️🙏
I really loved your short pixie haircut
I had to shave my super long beautiful curly hair when I got sick w cancer at 37 . It's so.......much more than hair . Although the situations are completely different I can sympathize w you in so many ways . I look at it as a gift that was given to me. Stripped of everything, I thought that made me beautiful, my long lashes , eyebrows, etc... I had to learn to still love myself when I looked in the mirror . It's something not every woman gets to experience. It's extremely personal, a total mindf$%ck and very humbling. We are beautiful no matter what ❤
I'm so sorry to hear about what happened and all that you had to go through. But you are lucky, for some of us, when we lose our hair... it will NEVER grow back.
I feel so bad for you! Hair is very important for most of us and we don't even work as a model so you could easily suit them because they ruined your hair and your hair is important in your job. I wouldn't leave it like that + your agency should help you to suit the salon.
Rally glad that you said that you've been treated differently after changing your hair. That's so true! I used to be blond for 8 years and decided to go back to brunette because blond was damaging my hair too much after all these years. And I see huge difference between being blond and brunette. When I was blond people were nicer, always ready to help but on the other hand treated me like I was less smart just because I'm blond (there's a thing in my country that says "stupid blond" and it refers only to girls/women). So now I'm "smarter" but also have to be more Independent, self-reliant and acting maturely. 💁🏻♀️
Not holding them responsible only lets them do this to someone else🥺 so sorry you've gone thru this....
Liz, I’m SO unbelievably sorry you had to go through something like this. Not only are you brave for coming forward with what happened, but you’re incredibly strong for having endured what you went through. The hair salon who burned your hair off should’ve had the knowledge not to put more bleach and color onto your already very recently colored and bleached hair. They NEVER should’ve done what they did. I feel as though they took advantage of you, especially at the tender age of 20. Then they tried to save face by having you sign the waiver form after everything was said and done?! Very crooked! Please don’t blame yourself for what happened, you’re innocent in all of this, they’re the “professionals” who definitely knew better at the time! …there’s NO doubt in my mind. Shame on them for misleading you, karma.
Please continue to stay strong!! Your hair now looks VERY healthy 🤎
Thanks for sharing! I felt your pain, and you’re an inspiration
Everybody’s already said all the important stuff so I’ll just say…just be kind to everyone, no matter what they look like. Less judgment creates a more love-filled world
You gotta name drop them so people can know what they did to you. Honestly, that’s the next best thing after sueing them.
"Its normal to feel a little burn" this familiar phrase has brought up so much trauma for me. It was not as bad as it was for liz but as i think about it i wish it fell off the day i got the treatment coz my hair was intact. Burnt a lot but intact. I was not able to let go. For next 6-7 months I'd comb carefully. Sometimes my hair would knot at the back and i had to cut few strands a few times. But i was still not able to let go. It was after a long time that i realised that it not only messed up my current hair but also I'm not having good growth in the roots. My bouncy hair was now flat even after months because maybe it burnt the roots or maybe because it kept falling at the strands so there was not much volume left. Eventually winter came and i just cut my hair short and wore cap for whole winter. After a lot of care its becoming better and I'm more in love with my natural hair than i ever was.
Also in regards to hair and how people treat you, as someone who loves to colour my hair I personally can never go blond. With my brown hair I was a fly on the wall, but with my crazy colours people either dragged their kids away from me or found me super approachable. I decided one day to not colour my hair straight away after the bleach since I thought my blond looked badass... but people treated me in a way that sparked my social anxiety. I was looked down on, my opinion wasn't taken as seriously. Many people treated me like I was slow or stupid and, well it was suptle but I now colour my hair asap cuz I hated how it made me feel.
I can totally relate even though I've never been a model. I had long, beautiful hair most of my life. I went to visit my daughter when I was in my 40s and she shamed me into cutting it all off. It was an awful cut and I got home to my job with everyone asking "what did you do to your hair?" I ended up loosing my identity for a long time, deep depression, self consciousness and just overall sadness. It took years for me to reagin my sense of self. I had to learn that I wasn't defined by being pretty or my hair but rather who I was a person. Sounds like you are doing so well and I love following you on your journey to good health.
I think you should write a review that way future customers know the kind of work they do. I don’t want that to happen to anyone else. I’m glad you could do some soul searching and found some good in what happened to you. ❤
I’m so sorry this happened to you. It’s horrific. You were still beautiful with that pixie cut!
I definitely know how you feel. My hair stylist used a hair color that turned my hair black instead of light brown. I made the mistake of going to different hair stylist to fix my hair. Well she over bleached my hair and half of it fell out. I’m in the process of healing my hair. It’s been a long process as my hair fell out at the root. Luckily it was over processed highlights or I would be bald. There is nothing more scary than having lots of hair fall out in the shower.
I’ve been a stylus for ten year, and they were way out of line. I’m so sorry that they were so unprofessional with you and didn’t take responsibility for anything they did wrong. That is not ok at all and that is horrendous customer service. I am so sorry!
I will say, you are beautiful no matter what your hair looks like! I do love you with short dark hair!
Liz! I have a great blonde specialist here in NYC! She’s the BEST. I don’t want to put her info on blast but let me know if you want her contacts. She does like four of my friends hair and we all love her, even the brunettes! She works with models and has lots of experience, both domestic and international. Much love to you (and your hair!) 🥰
the instagram post is the cherry on top, they need to thank God every day that you held back as much as you did because not many people would have been this chill and the only career ending would have been theirs😬the audacity is staggering
Reveal the Salon!! They deserve it!!
I did not expect to cry. You are such a beautiful soul! Thank you for the life lessons!
I had almost the same thing happen and this stylist was a friend that actually took pride as a colorist or whatever they call themselves. Long story short, I first went to get an overall color with highlights. I left there looking like a zebra. It was such a bad job. I went back for her to correct it. I left there still looking like a zebra but this time my hair was fried. I could feel that heat too. I still had to do something about the stripes on my head so I used a mild, store-bought, temporary overall color which helped. It eventually started falling out. my scalp was so fried. I have a widows peak which was literally fried off. My hair became so thin you could see my scalp. i had to stop processing for over a year, two years later it is finally growing back in. Its still thin but better than it was. I feel ya girl.
You are amazing & handled it so well
Spirit has away of forcing our opportunities for growth! What a blessing!
Great story! Amazing personal growth!
I did have my hair burned like three times... Combinations like bleach and keratine really messed the hair a lot. Its always a traumatic thing, i really feel you on this... Now im more quiet about changing it, guess i learned a lesson... But anyway thank you for sharing❤️
Omg your hair has grown so much
I can't imagine the horror when you realized what happened 😢
It was absolutely the stylists job to tell you that your hair was compromised and the dangers of processing it again. Plus she NEVER should have put 20vol on your hair in that condition and she knew that it would all fall out
The waiver may not have been worth the paper it was written on. Businesses get these written up to make you sit on your rights.
Huge thing you are so brave for sharing this.
I agree, I wasn't put completely over the edge until they tried to take credit for your runway hair. Them botching it? Things happen. Them STEALING credit for a job they didn't do to basically trick other potential clients? Absolutely not.
Wow. I know exactly what you mean about going from long to short in the way people treated you. I understand. I asked my hairdresser to cut off all my hair 6 years ago for different reasons. She was extremely shocked but it was WORTH IT - but It’s sooooo WEIRD how people look at the outside - but we HAVE to learn to look at the heart xxx
