Chapter 14: Yearning For Stars
Rextros the Black Scar was, incredibly, a man noted for his black scar.
It was his symbol as a survivor. And more importantly, as a winner. He may have a scar, but the man he'd last fought had two broken arms and a big enough gap in his front teeth that he now whistled in between speaking.
Over the years, he'd fought with the best of the worst, turning bars inside out and alleys upside down. As a D-rank pugilist, he regularly left a reminder that of all the mean sods to ply their trade in this land, he was the meanest of them all.
And his reward? His own cozy little forest hideout, complete with a gambling table, a drinks bar and semi-loyal goons. It was everything a good little outlaw wanted. Except that he never wanted to be an outlaw in the first place.
He wanted to be a pianist.
“... Damn … !”
Rextros the Black Scar had no wish to lead his own group of bandits. A cold tent in a damp forest? A dirty camp filled with the stench of a dozen guys who didn't bathe, even though there's a river right next to them?
These weren't the dreams of a normal lad growing up on a farm. But he knew that working the land wasn't for him. His hands were made for more than sowing seeds and milking cows.
It was for playing nocturnes beneath the moonlight, his soul reaching out to gently sweep across the keys faster than his fingers did.
However, that dream wasn't to be.
Once he was old enough that he could no longer sneak his way into fancy bars and ply his budding skills on the pianos reserved for the famous, he knew he had to buy his own. It infuriated him that pianos were the playthings of the nobility. He couldn't even walk into a piano workshop before being tossed out. It was a closed circle for the rich and the few. And that lit a fire in his belly.
So what if the fancy lords and ladies couldn't stomach the thought of a mere peasant like him dirtying their favourite pastime? It wasn't them he'd play for.
Rextros the Black Scar would play for the people.
And he'd play a piano he could move with his heart as much as his hands—a St. Liane baby grand in mahogany red, rolled straight out of the Royal St. Liane Workshop in the middle of the royal capital and onto the bustling street outside.
That was the dream.
A dream which had slid further away with each passing day. The crowns he'd earned from his fights were barely worth the silver needed to hire a sister to stitch himself back up afterwards. And all the callouses on his hands were suddenly around his knuckles and not his fingertips.
Then, like a twisted angel summoned from the lowest abyss, that's when she appeared.
“Rextros the Black Scar. What a dreadfully dull name. It's as if you picked it out from a book of villains. Couldn't you have gone for something more original? The Black Etude, perhaps?”
“Hah? You picking a fight? And what's with that get-up? You hard selling for a casino? I don't gamble, so find someone else to fleece.”
“You say that, but isn't every day a gamble with the law to you? Honestly, however are you going to acquire the funds to buy a St. Liane of all things? You couldn't have picked a more expensive thing even if you tried. Greedy much?”
“... Who are you?! How do you know …”
“Hey, hey, hey. Wanna hear about a get rich quick scheme? Super reliable! Everyone's done it! And don't worry, it has nothing to do with gambling. Unless you want to?”
“D-Don't mess with me, woman! Who are you?! Keep away! I'm no fool—”
Rextros clenched his teeth as he recalled the memory.
He was no fool … Except that he was.
“... Damn … it … all! ...”
He crashed his fist down against his small table beneath his tent.
He'd stopped doing that lately. Firstly, he'd gotten used to the idiocy of his underlings. Secondly, it spilled his crowns everywhere and picking them up from the grass was a pain. If he ever wanted to buy that immaculate St. Liane, he'd need every last crown this rotten venture in poor decision making could get him.
So … how did it all go so wrong?
First it was the type of jobs. They'd started easy. Shaking down couriers and breaking into warehouses. Then they got harder. Not because the couriers got wiser or the warehouses tougher.
It was because he'd pieced together what he'd been stealing—and why.
He'd left in the middle of his last job and never looked back. Not because he had no regrets about running. But because he'd feared he'd see the face of that girl in her casino get-up looking right back at him.
The thought sent shivers running down his spine.
But maybe that was just because of the cold.
A forest. A cold, damp forest. This wasn't much better. But it was easier. Merchants used this road. He left the farmers alone. And the trolls. But the merchants? They took extortion as a business expense. And every now and again, a wandering nobleman and his family would come to hunt, forgetting that they were more likely to be found by the death beetles before they found a deer.
Was it kidnapping? Sure. But he was doing them a favour. The ransom reward was his just earnings. And what a reward they always were.
He was close. So close.
One last gig. One last merchant. One last idiot.
He knew this camp wouldn't last. But it didn't need to. He was so close. Then he could abandon this damp lifestyle and these stinking men and play ballades beneath the acoustic roof of the Reitzlake Grand Bridge.
That girl with a huge gob, haughty expression, fine clothes and dark hair without so much as an inkling of dirt on it was his ticket to freedom. That sword alone looked like it could be traded for any piano he wanted. He was even glad the idiots hadn't taken it from her. If they had, he likely would never have seen it.
Now he wished they'd just tried mugging her and suffered the consequences for it. Their dead bodies weren't likely going to reveal where he was.
“B-Boss … what was that? Who was she? Why did we have to give everything over?”
Rextros smashed his fist against the table again. This time, a cloud of dust came up as a crack appeared.
“Shut up! Shut up, all of you! I'm thinking!”
One by one, his underlings looked at each other with differing amounts of confusion and resentment. They didn't understand. They didn't know.
That girl, that ticket to freedom, was a poisoned bait. She'd come with one purpose and one alone. And that was to remind Rextros that so long as he lived, his obligations remained. He knew it. He'd dreamed it.
And now he feared the consequences of his flight.
But what could he do? That girl's message was clear. No matter where he ran, he would never be allowed to wander freely again. Every crown he stole wasn't his to keep. He wanted an out. But how could he? He'd seen too much. Not on purpose. But that didn't matter. He wasn't as blind as the rest.
And that was a problem.
“Boss! What's going on! That was everything! It was our pay, our weapons, you gave it all away! Who was she?!”
A problem like losing the loyalty of his men.
Forget making back his losses. He'd lose his life if they all turned on him. And he knew for a fact that the knives and daggers they carried were still on them, hidden in their boots and their clothes.
As every pair of eyes turned black, Rextros clenched his fist.
There was only one thing he could do. It was … It was dangerous. But it was his only choice. Not just to make it out of here alive. But to escape with it tomorrow, too.
He had to silence that girl.
Before she could reach her mistress, she had to be dealt with.
That way, he'd have time. That casino girl had to only suspect. Otherwise, she'd be here herself. Despite his fears, he knew she wasn't truly omnipotent. More importantly, it'd mean he'd have the money to flee. Even with just the crowns, he'd have enough to survive. More than enough.
He had to deal with that girl … and yet, if she was anything near as strong as that monster ...
No.
He had no choice. Not if he wanted to survive. Even if she matched him as a fighter, he had to deal with her. Then, he'd get out. Lay low. Flee the kingdom. That St. Liane was beyond his reach. But there were others. A Zelronto, perhaps. Lacking in finishing and incomparable with the tonal brilliance of a St. Liane, but bearable nonetheless.
It was time to leave these idiots behind.
But not without using them one last time.
“Shut up! All of you!”
“But Boss—”
“That girl. She was here on behalf of the Adventurer's Guild.”
“What?!”
The looks of rebellion were quickly replaced by panic.
Rextros smiled internally to himself. It was every outlaw's worst nightmare. Those that weren't him, of course.
The Adventurer's Guild weren't like knights or soldiers, who'd make so much noise looking for them that they could pack up and leave without so much as leaving an empty bottle behind.
Adventurers were hunters. Hunters that got paid absolute jack for the work they did. And that meant they did their jobs for reasons other than crowns.
In short, the worst type of people.
“She wanted to cut me a deal. All our gains for a day to leave. Except that won't matter if she's dealt with first. Go get her. Now.”
A few of the men shifted. Most were just confused.
“B-But if she's an adventurer, why didn't we just jump her already?”
“Fool! I was watching the treeline! You guys can't stand sentry even if I peel your eyelids off! I had to make sure there was nobody else! Now you see why I'm the leader and you idiots are not!”
“B-Boss!! Then, then that means ...”
“She's alone. Probably thinks she's stronger than all of us. Some brat that just got promoted to E-rank and thinks they're hot stuff. You know what to do.”
“Yes, Boss!!”
Rextros sighed as the underlings shot off, their hidden daggers being pulled from whatever sorry part of their bodies they hid them in.
It was going to be close. That girl … the sword she had. Only an extremely capable swordswoman would dare wield such a weapon. To be anything less was to invite every rogue within spitting distance to try and steal it from her, alive or dead.
Even so, she was alone. She had to be. The way these people operated demanded it. He had fourteen men under his command. Idiots to the last, but idiots with brawn and no discipline. If they all hurled themselves at her, there was simply no way she would be able to defeat them all.
And if so few made it back that he could claim all the loot for himself, then so be it.
Rextros smiled. Perhaps this wasn't such an unfortunate meeting, after all. He'd been meaning to consider a way to leave his goons in the lurch. If someone could deal with them for him, then all the better.
He simply needed to be ready to make good on his escape.
BRRROOOOOWWMMM.
It was at the exact moment that Rextros the Black Scar thought this that his feet suddenly left the ground.
“Gwaaaahhhhhhhh!”
Letting out a scream, he flailed uselessly at the air as he was suddenly flung against the back of his tent, taking it and also a tree with him as he went hurtling down the mound he'd pitched his makeshift throne on.
An enormous, ear splitting explosion drowned out his scream. Or at least what sounded like an explosion. He couldn't be sure with the entire forest groaning in pain. Leaves, branches and trees bent wildly as though slapped by the force of a thousand hurricanes. And yet Rextros instinctively knew that it could have been worse.
The source of that explosion was further away. And it was not aimed towards him.
If it had, he wouldn't be in a position to feel breathless with shock.
Sweat ran down Rextros's face as he crawled up from the dirt. He was lucky. He'd narrowly missed impacting with the tree that now had its roots torn from the soil. Looking around, all he saw was carnage. Bits of the camp were everywhere. And the forest was groaning even louder than before, as though it now had to right itself after being struck by the hand of a god.
Or perhaps a goddess.
That girl … it couldn't be ...
His entire body shaking, Rextros thought about the idiots he'd sent after her. They'd only just left. They … They were probably okay. Even so, could it possibly be a coincidence that she'd set the entire forest on its knees the moment he'd decided on his treachery?
What … What kind of power was this?
That was not the power of some D-rank punk like him. It was beyond that. The sort of power that only named legends past the point of being human possessed.
Had that girl lived a warrior's life, in solitude, training her swordsmanship on some distant mountaintop to achieve that level of destruction?
Rextros now knew he couldn't stay. Not even if all the copper, silver and gold in the world was made available to him. It was time to flee. Right now. Away from this kingdom, filled with more monsters than anyone as insignificant as him had the right to know.
And then maybe, just maybe.
When enough time had passed—he'd be able to take over the farm, and go back to milking cows and tilling fields.

Hi everyone. I will be visiting Brussels next week for 5 days, on one of those days I will be attending a wedding with my husband and I need to try and get my hair styled (I am useless at anything hair or make up related). Usually I would just get GHD curls put into my hair for a wedding but I am finding it difficult to find the equivalent of that with hair salons near our hotel in Brussels. By that, I mean I don’t know what it’s called because I mostly just see shampooing and brushing.
Could anyone help advise me on what I should be looking for when I’m looking at the services menu of these hair salons? Am I better off calling them directly to ask for what I need?
Thanks in advance

Palace Resorts offers a few different kind of credits, to help pay for various services that the resorts offer. Resort credits are valid at all Palace Resorts and Le Blanc branded properties.

Types of credit

There are currently four different types of credits and benefits that you may encounter at Palace Resorts.

1. Spa Credits
2. Resort Credits
3. Free House Tours
4. Universal Credits

Spa Credits

As the name implies, spa credits may be used in the spa. They may also be used in the salon. Examples of services that may be paid for include:

• Massages
• Seaweed wraps
• After sun treatments
• Haircuts/Hair styling
• Manicures and Pedicures

Whenever spa credits are used, a 16% service fee is charged to the room. This must be paid at checkout, and is normally charged to the credit card on file. If guest happens to have Universal Credits - though this is very rare - the service fees may be paid for with those.
Spa credits are actually a part of the resort credit package that you receive when you book your stay through a Diamond member, or when a VIP member uses their own membership to stay. Contracts vary, but in general, a certain percentage of the total resort credits may be used in the spa during the each stay. This is always 50% or less. For example, if you book through a Diamond member and stay for 5 days, you will receive $1,500 in credits. It is common that half of these credits may be used in the spa. Therefore it is likely that $750 of these may be used in the spa, and the rest can be used towards other purchases that the resort offers.
Unfortunately, neither the Palace Resorts app nor the Le Blanc app properly reports available credits. It is up to the tours desk to let you know the amount of available spa credits.
Note that some resorts include Hydrotherapy at the spa, and it is always free. A great idea is to book a session directly before a massage treatment.
While not exactly spa credits, it is important to remember that every room that is booked through a Palace Elite member will receive two free 25 minute massages, two free manicures and two free pedicures. These services are free and clear and are not subject to any service fees.

Resort Credits

Since the spa is such a popular use of credits, Palace Resorts limits the percentage of credits that may be used in the spa. After the allotment of spa credits, the remainder of credits may be used elsewhere. Possible purchases include:

• Romantic dinners on the beach. These are a decent deal, and include a quality surf and turf dinner, and champagne.
• Beach canopies. For example, at Le Blanc Los Cabos. These include a fruit platter and a bottle of premium champagne. You will also receive the service of a cabana attendant. This is another worthwhile deal if you have extra resort credits.
• Cabanas. For example, at Le Blanc Cancun. They offer you premium liquor when you book these. They come with TVs and people often use them to lounge by the pool as a group, while watching the game.
• Golf, and related rental costs and fees. Most resorts have a golf course nearby. Your green fee will include transportation to the course in question. You may also use credits for club rentals.
• Some gift shop novelty items, though these are rare and are often of questionable value to the customer. Gift shops usually have tequila gift sets. If they are not on display, ask them if they have any. Sometimes they let you pay at the gift shop and pick them up at the bar. Other items may include scented sprays, beach bags, and some other items that the resort buys in bulk.
• Paid towards some of the price of premium items, such as sunglasses. Usually, this amounts to around $50, though they sometimes offer larger concessions. It might be worth bugging them to give you a larger discount, and letting them know you're leaving that day and need to unload the remainder of your credits. The most they will likely be willing to give you is another $50, for a total of $100.
• Certain tours, though there are a lot of restrictions. For stays of five nights, your resort credits may be used to pay for a limited selection of tours. For stays of seven nights or longer, it might be a better idea to use a free house tour.

Free House Tours

These tours are unlocked when you book through a Diamond member and stay for at least seven nights. You will usually receive two per room, though the meaning, availability, and value of these two tours can be quite nebulous. Aside from tips, the tours are supposed to be free and clear, though you need to specifically ask the tours desk for details. If you manage to book one of these tours, you can expect them to be decent, but not private by any means. You will travel in shared transportation, and the bus will likely stop to pick up others along the way. You will need to bring some cash for tips and spending.

Universal Credits

These credits are so rare that most guests are unlikely to ever come across them. The reason they are rare is that they are Palace Resorts' equivalent to cash. They are offered under extremely limited scenarios. Even Palace Resorts' highest level members are unlikely to see many Universal Credits, since their membership perks are generally about unlocking weekly stays with upgraded experiences rather than monetary compensation.
Universal Credits are the only credits that the guest may use to pay for any charge on the bill at checkout, including the service fees that accumulate as a result of any spa and resort credit spend.
Being equivalent to cash, Universal Credits may also be used towards booking a future stay. Keep in mind that Universal Credits expire - usually after a year or two.
The most common way to receive Universal Credits is to attend a presentation, and specifically negotiate for some. This option is open to any guest staying at the resort, whether they are a member, booked through a member, or booked through the public website. If you decide to ask for some Universal Credits in exchange for a presentation, you may or may not receive your request. You are more likely to successfully negotiate for these type of credits if you ask the tours desk rather than a random person at the front desk that may be offering you something in exchange for attending a presentation. Before you accept an offer of universal credits, be sure that you are not trading valuable time and money spent on the vacation, for a smaller amount of universal credits when you could have spent the morning enjoying yourself. I tend to rank my vacation time, daily room rate, prorated flight cost etc at the high end of the scale, and presentation offers usually aren't worth the imputed cost of attending.

Summary

For the most part, guests who book through a Diamond member will receive either $1,500 in spa and resort credits, and, with a 7 night stay, will also receive free house tours. Be sure to book early with the pre-arrival concierge. Don't forget hair salon bookings.

Hair Dresser Towel
Hairdresser towels are an essential tool in the beauty industry. They are used to dry, clean, and style hair, and play a vital role in ensuring a professional and hygienic service. In this article, we will explore the importance of hairdresser towels and their role in the beauty industry.
Hairdresser towels come in a variety of sizes and materials. The most common types of hairdresser towels are made from cotton, microfiber, or a blend of the two. Cotton towels are soft and absorbent, making them a popular choice for hairdressers. Microfiber towels are also highly absorbent and lightweight, making them a popular choice for salons that require frequent washing and drying.
One of the most important aspects of hairdresser towels is their hygiene. Hairdressers must ensure that their towels are clean and free from bacteria to prevent the spread of infection. Towels should be washed after each use and dried thoroughly before reuse. Many salons use a color-coding system to differentiate between clean and used towels, ensuring that each towel is used only once before being washed.
Hairdresser towels also play a crucial role in the styling process. Towels are used to dry hair before cutting, coloring, or styling. They are also used to protect the client's clothing from hair and product. In addition, hairdresser towels are often used to create different hairstyles, such as curling or straightening.
In recent years, hairdresser towels have become more eco-friendly. Many salons now use towels made from recycled materials, reducing waste and supporting sustainable practices. In addition, some salons use washable, reusable towels to reduce their environmental impact.

I know this is a really long post but I really hope at least some of you read this and give me some advice or anything really. My entire personal life has just imploded these past few years. My one saving grace has been my flatmate who has been there for me, but am now having problems with. I'm just really sad and at a loss right now.
I was moving to Australia in January 2020 just before COVID with my fiancee and we were caught by the border shutdown, he lost his visa (he was coming a couple months later in April) and we ultimately broke up at the end of 2020 when he found out he would be a father. Two weeks after that my mom was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer and has gone through aggressive treatment, been hospitalized many times for infections, and when I went home for the first time this past year is not the same mother I left behind in 2020 when I moved. My father fractured his spine twice and has had 3 back surgeries. When we went into COVID lockdown, I had an empty apartment with only a mattress on the floor, knowing no one in the country as everyone I knew was in the US. I have never experienced a darker time in my life than I did at the end of 2020 and beginning of 2021. I went to a hair salon for a day of treat-yo-self to try and get my spirits up late 2020, and met my now flatmate who has been my saving grace. We hit it off right away, and when she moved in made the empty apartment feel like a home. I would have never made it through these past couple years without her - so with the problems we're having I just feel so lost and sad right now about what to do especially with still being so far from family (I will be moving back home in December though to be closer to my mom).
My roommate is a hairstylist, and she regularly does hair for close friends and family, always refusing payment even though I offer every time. I try to take her out to dinner or cook her a very nice meal or do something for her in return. And I pay for all hair supplies. However, when we get into disagreements she's very quick to hold this over me, saying how much she does for me and if anyone is being taken advantage of it's her. It's as if I never have the right to be upset because the scales will always be tipped to her. I will definitely be removing the hair aspect from our friendship moving forward and going to a different salon than where she works, as I can see that needs to be removed from this equation but it doesn't seem that she will forget it.
However, recently our rent here in Australia is being raised to a point where she said it was going to be really difficult and might affect her food money and would be really tight. As I make more money than her, I offered to cover more of the rent increase and help her out. I'm moving back to the US at the end of the year, and I'm grateful she's sticking with me at the apartment - we have become incredibly close. This week, a week later after this rent discussion, she goes out and spends $1600 on a fancy new set of 2 reclining loveseat couches because she doesn’t like the current one we have (~$400) that I bought before she moved in. She comes home telling me I should go ahead and sell my couch in the next 6 weeks because she bought new ones that are arriving. We've already discussed that everything I own outside of what I'm taking back to the states I will sell to her for very cheap when I move. So yes, I'm moving but not for 9 months - I still live here. So on one side I was upset that she decided to make that decision for me, as if my opinion doesn't matter anymore because I will ultimately be moving.
On another side, I was upset because here I am thinking money is tight for you based on what you said and how you said we needed to budget tightly, so I help you so I want to help you out, yet it’s not too tight for you to afford expensive new couches? I raised this with her and her response is that (a) she doesn't like the current couch and she needs something different (b) she is the one being taken advantage of because of how much money she has saved me in haircuts the past couple years yet I have a problem with this and (3) she's doing me a favor anyways as now I can sell the couch earlier and get the money.
I'm very grateful for what she has done, but does that then mean that I can't be legitimately upset and feel taken advantage of in the future in response to a specific sequence of events? Like her deciding by herself when my furniture gets sold or what happens in the apartment just because I will be gone in 9 months? And saying how tight money is going to the point of mentioning food money, so I offer to help her out, she accepts that help, and then goes and buys expensive furniture that is unnecessary?
In general, whenever we have disagreements she is never able to see my side of things. Because of past relationship abuse with boyfriends, she will just shut down when she feels she's been taken advantage of no matter what it is. Last year for the two weeks surrounding my birthday, it was as if I didn't exist to her at all in our apartment including on my actual birthday. I was just ignored night and day. I spent my birthday alone crying. And this was all because when I took care of her cat for one night, I hadn't used the packet of wet food in the fridge as I forgot and I only gave him dry food which was kept full and which he does eat, but at the same time I was giving my dog wet food but that's because at the time she refused to eat anything else (she's now back on dry food). So my pet got wet food and hers didn't, therefore I had mistreated and abused him. I pretty much have to castrate myself, ultimately ending up in me crying, telling her over and over that if I hurt her it was not on purpose, how much she means to me, that I want to talk through this in a healthy manner, etc. Only then can we discuss what happened, get the perspective of the other person and move on.
For once, I want to stand up for myself as I am legitimately hurt by her actions but I also don't want to sacrifice our friendship. At the same time, with the stress of moving and my mom's illness, I don't have the emotional capacity anymore to force us into that healthy discussion by flaying myself in front of her like I have done in the past. But she has supported me so much these past couple of years. Most of the time, she's such a positive light in my life and makes me laugh and find the positive in things.
I know this is a really long post and if you've made it this far, thank you, thank you, thank you. I just feel so lost and sad right now.

Eden Beauty Salon best Hollywood Waxing services offers. Hollywood waxing Leeds is a type of intimate waxing that involves the complete removal of pubic hair from the front, back, and sides of the pubic region. It is a popular choice for people who prefer a hair-free look and feel in their intimate areas. The process typically involves the use of hot wax or strip wax to remove the hair. The wax is applied to the pubic area, and then a cloth or paper strip is placed over the wax. The strip is then quickly pulled off, along with the hair.

So I’m interested in getting some partial highlights but I’m kinda worried cause my hair is soft and very fine. I don’t live in the US anymore but I found a lot of good hair salons where I live that have colored black people hair. I was wondering if anyone has similar hair like mine and if they colored it did it fall out? Or did you do some special treatment afterwards to protect it? I’ve never really bleached my hair before so I’m clueless I’ll try to add some pics of my hair in the comments.

I 25F went to the salon on Saturday to get my hair blonde and purple balayage type vibe. I had went in for a consult about three weeks earlier and i had been very honest with the stylist letting her know I use box dye and what I wanted to get done and that I wear my hair in a ponytail every single day. She quoted me 8-10 hours and let me know it’s going to be $95 an hour.
The actual appointment took about 14 hours. She had used foils on the most of my hair and then a developer on my roots the developer level 30. she had with the developer sit on my head for about 45 minutes I let her know it started burning. She immediately came over and try to take some of the developer off and it wasn’t any better so she rinsed me off. Later she had put different dye on my roots as apparently the developer didn’t fully work and it was yellow. my scalp still hurt after the burning feeling but I didn’t think anything of it and the artist also didn’t think it was a big deal.
The next day, Sunday, I woke up to my scalp, still hurting and weird chunks on my hair around my middle part. I had my wife check it out and it was burnt and oozing. Throughout the day, my hair is so painful I could not wear it in a ponytail. Monday rolls around and I went to work still with my hair down and I talked to one of my supervisors who used to be a hairstylist and she expressed how concerning the developer was and how I have chemical burns on my scalp. She mentioned how I need to call the salon to make sure that this doesn’t happen to anyone else, but the salon is closed on Sunday and Monday so I called on Tuesday.
The salon stated they need to reach out to the stylist to see what happened, which is understandable. The artist tell me a super long text basically telling me there’s nothing I can do and that my head’s gonna be like this for two weeks. But she so sorry and nothing like this has ever happened before. But she’ll take a look at it on Thursday
I still have blisters on my head. I’m honestly thinking about reaching out to the salon owner and trying to get a partial refund. As I still can’t wear my hair up and I’m in pain. The dye job is pretty and I am happy with the end result I’m just so upset with the burns.
