So I went to the hairdresser today. It was the best rates hairdresser in my region and because I wanted to bleach my brown hair really light blonde or silver I thought it would be better to go to a good hairdresser then to burn my hair off my head. 

I looked up the prices beforehand and found that they charge 20-90€ for dye treatment. Since it isn't the first time I got my hair professionally dyed, I decided that the price was fair and I would make an appointment. My hair is really short at the moment so I thought that it would probably be not 90€ but more like 30-50. 

When I came in and explained what kind of color I wanted to do, they were really friendly and helpful and the hairdresser explained that they would turn orange if they just bleached them because my natural hair color has some warm undertones. So she recommended that she'd do a lot of highlights and they would lift evenly and not be orange or yellow. She told me that I would have to come in again and it wouldn't be perfect right away but I would soon have the color I desired. 

So I agreed because I thought that it was my only option and the result would be similar to what I intended. I trusted her because she was the professional. 

Fast forward 4 hours and I see my hair for the first time. It was not at all what I intended it to be. I (20) look like a woman that just got grey hair. Some spots are yellow some are grey and some are white - and of course there is a lot brown left. I didn't know how to react because she and her manager both recommended that technique and told me how good it looked. 

She then continued to style it and give me products to try/buy that would make the hair color stay and keep the hair healthy. So I was baffled and agreed to buy them. She then told me that I should pay 230€. That's waaaaay more than I expected and I was so perplex that I just payed. 

When I came home I realised how dumb it was and I saw how bad the color looked. My boyfriend now wants to go back there and return the products and maybe try to refund me/get an explanation why it's so expensive. 

But I feel like it was kind of my own fault. I obviously didn't understand the procedure completely and agreed to pay so much money. I'm also in college and that amount of money really hurts to loose. 

So am I the asshole when I want my money back?
