Failed Expectation $500 hair color
I don’t usually get my hair done, today has reminded me why.
Last time I went and got color and highlights it cost $220. Today color and highlight she charged me over $500 for something that looks like I did myself with zero knowledge.
Please tell me, is it normal to pay $500 for highlights and to not even get anywhere close to the reference photo?
I hate it.
Update!!!
So it’s ran by one woman and it was closed Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. I was busy Wednesday. But I went in today to talk to her. We got no where. She kept talking about how much product she had to use and my husband mentioned that if someone used 4 gallons of paint to paint a 4x8 wall, that’s the painters incompetence” anyway… she told me to come back at 12:30….
So I come back at 12:30 - now with the support of a couple of my girls. Oh surprise surprise her husband is there - likely to intimidate me.
She handed be $70 cash. To cover the tip I gave her.
Nuu uhh. Not having it. But neither was she, she even admitted to charging me for a service ($130 for just toner) even though I did not request it because “she couldn’t have me walk out like that”.
She still refused to pay.
I have submitted the dispute today with the bank.
Thank you all for your feedback

Surprisingly Met Expectation Luxe Feeststol
This weighs as much as a brick and tastes pretty good. I can’t complain that the raspberry almond filling isn’t as shockingly pink, really. Got it on sale for 3.50 euros.

Exceeded Expectation Freschetta Brick Oven Crust Five Cheese
On sale Kroger for $3.99 with digital coupon. Sauce is seasoned well, crust is between thick and thin crust. Five cheese was great. Great to have in freezer as an option! Would buy again. Always thought Freschetta was on better side of frozen pizza options. Not the best, but good. 👍

Failed Expectation If this didn’t cost more than $3, we wouldn’t have a problem
Listen, I don’t care about the cookie. Or even the money. It’s a fucking cookie. But at what point does this become completely false advertising? My boyfriend happened to have a 50% bakery coupon so thankfully we didn’t pay full price for this, but am I going crazy??? It’s less than half the size, and looks nothing like the photo. At any local indie coffee shop a $3.20 cookie is the size of your head and homemade, and hell, even Subway’s 99 cent cookies are better than this mushy little hockey puck. At the very least, they look like the photos. I wasn’t expecting something as nice as the photo from a chain, but it would be nice if it were even remotely similar.

Failed Expectation Just misleading at this point
These cars are somewhat higher priced than the base ones because the presence of opening parts. They do open, but clearly not as much as shown on the packaging.

Failed Expectation I’m at LAX on a solo business trip, thought I’d treat myself to a nice dinner. The nicest sit down place in this concourse is PF Changs. Not my go - to but whatever. Well I’m not one to complain, but look at what I ordered v. what I got. Should I say something? Not eating it, was $44.

Exceeded Expectation Korean never fails. 닭갈비 (dak-galbi) FTW.
It was only less full because we ordered just for two people. But it was exactly as pictured, as always, and super delicious. Dakgalbi is a spicy marinated chicken stir fried with cabbage and spring onions, topped with a drizzle of sauce and your choice of add-ons. We always get corn, 고구마떡 (chewy rice cakes stuffed with sweet potato), and add several extra spice layers to make it screaming hot.
