*UPDATE* My stylist cut off all my hair!!!!!!!

Heather, on May 14, 2011 at 5:36 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12

Ok, so this happened Wednesday night. I called a lawyer that had handled a previous case for me. Well, I told him what happened. He took all the information and said to give him a few days. Well it was sooner than I expected. She (the owner) said that she was VERY sorry that this had happened and would be willing to do what ever it took to fix it. I told him I was very uncomfortable going back. He called her back and she agreed to a settlement. All in all she said she was willing to pay for extensions which usually run about $1000. So he is going to give me a little more than half of that. With the exception that I keep her business name out of the public.

But I can tell you this... I went to Van Michaels salon in buckhead. I was referred to Nilan. She was SUPER sympathetic and fixed the damage (the best she could). I went to my bachelorette party last night and ended up at Swinging Richards. I got complements the whole night on how fab my hair was! Ill try to attach a pic.

    Well that's good news. I felt so bad for you. You don't need a mishap like that right before your wedding. ATL has some of the best stylist, so I'm sure your hair will turn out great the day of.

    Thanks Guys for ALL of your support!!!!! I even cried as she was "fixing" the damage...

    But I probably wont do the extensions... Nilan said that she could give me a nice "blow out".... Whatever that means... I was just excited to get complements from the clientele at SR!!!!

    The cut did look like it could be fixed to look like a decent cut- so I'm glad you are happy with the results.

    I'm not sure how extensions would look on hair that short in the back- so I think you are better off going without them.

    However, if she wants her name out of the public- she shouldn't pay just the damage to get it corrected. There should be additional compensation.

    If you haven't signed yet- I'd be asking for more, sicne she agreed that quickly. Another thing- you attorney is taking HALF? That's really high for an attorney's fee. Especially when all he did was make a phone call and write a contract less than a page long for the settlement.

    Attorneys- chime in here. Shouldn't the fee be more around 30%? I'm happy to admit if I'm wrong on that...

    Yes... His fee was 30%. But I was more than willing to let him get it. No I haven't signed anything yet... I'm not desperate for money. And, I don't want additional compensation. I'm not greedy. I just wanted her to know I wasn't happy with what I left the salon looking like.

    I am not an attorney, but I play one on tv. I have to agree with @Meghan 50% for a phone call is a lot. I am in the middle of a settlement myself for a car accident and he has done tons and he is at 32%

    So there isn't much difference, because she didnt want to take off any more length than she had too. She Just blended it more.

    Ps.. The fh took the first pic. My five y/o took the second.

    Good for you. I wouldn't have gone back to the other place either. Hope it all works out smoothly.
