Thank you all for your replies, I went and had them out last night, cost me a bit but I can honestly say it was the best money I had spent. The lady who took them out for me said they were close to my scalp hence the irritation. My scalp had little red lumps in it which the lady said was sensitivity from the glue. My friend did put some tester pieces in a week before but they weren't near my scalp which is probably why they didn't bother me. My neck and all was hurting from the weight of them, I feel slightly liberated now lol. Oh well lesson learnt!
Fayevix, thank you for your reply, regarding your comment about why should another salon sort it out, I understand what you are saying but surely there are people out there who have had bad hair cuts/colours and paid for another hairdresser to sort it it? I paid the lady who sorted it how the price she charged and gave her a very generous tip. I'm having a consultation with her regarding a restyle and colour so it's a win win situation, I have found a new hairdresser and she has a new customer.
Thanks again for you replies! x
