I received a letter from your company on December 10, 2022, regarding a complaint from one of my customers. This is the first time in 15 years of business that I had ever received such a complaint.
My customer, **** ********* came into my hair salon on December 8, 2022, to have a hair color change. Her original hair color was dark brown, a level 4. Her color change request was light brown, a level 9. I explained that it was a difficult color change, and it would take several hours. I told her that the charge would be $150.00. She agreed and we moved forward with the treatment. The appointment took 5 hours. Miss *********** hair was difficult to lift the color to the light brown. The color turned out orange. Miss ********* asked me if I could fix it and I told her yes. Since we had spent 5 hours, we decided to schedule another appointment and she returned to my salon on December 10, 2022. I explained that I would charge her an additional $30.00 for the hair color product. I would fix the color and add a haircut which was not in the original charge. Miss ********* returned on December 10th. I proceeded to fix the hair color. We spent and additional 6 hours and the outcome was a light brown hair color. I don’t think that the color was what she had envisioned.
Miss ********* was still not happy with the color and requested for her hair color be returned to her original dark brown color. So, I did change her hair color back to her original color. She wanted a full refund since her hair color was now the same as when she came in. I explained that my salon did not refund for services rendered. (If I refunded for services rendered, I would be out of business). I showed her the notice that was posted at the front desk which read
“No refunds. All Sales are final” (Attached is the original notice.) I offered her free hair product and gave her a gift card for a free haircut. She responded with “is that all you will offer”.
I hope that this explains what occurred and if you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I am rejecting this response because:
This response does not say she will give refund.At this time my hair has returned to orange,which ***** called funky color.At the time I was returning to fix hair appointment,she made me wait 45min and took several customers during that time which made me wait longer.
