I paid £218 for a haircut and highlights but it was horrendous – I’m no stylist but it shouldn’t look like this | The Sun

A WOMAN splashed out over £200 on a haircut and highlights – only to end up with what she described as a major “hair fail.”

Gabrielle Houze treated herself to a pamper session at a salon, but when she got home, it wasn’t quite what she had expected. 

Gabrielle explained that she’d spent $264 (approximately £218) to have her locks transformed with blonde highlights.

However, she was left with what looked like major regrowth at her roots, with her darker natural colour very noticeable. 

Gabrielle then posted the ‘after’ picture on her Tikok account @gabbler and asked others if it was normal.

As she zoomed in on the problem area, she wrote: “I don’t know anything about hair, but pretty sure the highlights I got done yesterday shouldn’t look like this??”

She added in the caption: “$264 for this” alongside some clown emojis and a string of emojis, including #hairfail #hairhelp and #hairhelpneeded.

After she shared the video with her followers, Gabrielle was inundated with comments from people telling her that it wasn’t supposed to look like that.

One wrote: “Not close enough to the scalp, a root smudge with a demi colour would fix this perfectly.”

Another added: “This is the reason I do my own. I hate going to the hairdressers.”

They also were quick to offer their advice – but people’s opinions were split down the middle.

Some suggested she should return to the original stylist and allow them to fix it.

One commented: “Definitely an easy fix!! Book with her again and give her a chance.

“Give her grace as long as she gives you a respectful response.”

Another said: “It could have been an honest mistake. Is her work on her page usually good?

“She should fix it for free.”

While a third typed: “100% I’d be going back to have her fix it.”

However, others weren’t so forgiving and said the stylist had had their chance and now she needed to go to someone else.

One said: “That’s why I changed my hairdresser, I had this too.”
