Need advice on a bad balayage situation 😭

I’m trying to figure out how to approach a salon that really messed up my hair, and whether I should publicly warn other girls not to go to this stylist.

The result is literally my worst nightmare. Years of balayage ruined and my hair is absolutely fried.

I’ve been trying to handle it calmly and fairly, but I feel stuck. I asked about being compensated (on top of not having to pay) since I’ll have to pay someone else DOUBLE the original cost to fix it, and I feel like I’m harassing her just for asking. She removed me on Instagram after saying me not having to pay was “complimentary” and has now left my last message on sent for more than a day.

At this point I want to warn other girls so they don’t end up in the same situation, but I’m stuck on whether I should actually put her name out there. Part of me feels bad doing that, l feel like this situation has been handled so unfairly. Just because salon has a policy doesn’t mean that you’re suddenly not in the wrong??

What would you guys do? Would you post her name/warn people, go above her head to management to ask for a different solution, or just take the loss and move on? I don’t know how to handle this, because her work appears great online but someone else could somehow get results like mine.

(The girl who had an appointment right before me said she didn’t like her results either. Red flag)

Best bra fitting at Tysons

Hey bitches! Know this isn’t DC, but wasn’t about to make this post on the nova sub.

Going to be near Tysons today and desperately need new bras. Who does the best bra fitting there? Leaning towards Intimissimi but I know sometimes the department stores have true gems working in their intimates section, I’m probably an F/G cup so definitely not Victoria’s Secret.

I have already done my own measurements with the ABraThatFits calculator, but would love to have someone check my work before I spend all the money lol.

Thanks in advance!!!

Recently I was assaulted on a date. I did not know it at the time, but I think he is the Coffee Date Predator.

I am posting this in hopes of connecting with other people who have been harassed, or harmed, by him. I realize that reaching out can be scary for some, but there is strength in numbers.

Please directly message me, I am compiling a list and timeline of this guy’s harassments and harms. If you interacted with this guy, please reach out.

I want to post his pictures and name here, but I am not sure I am allowed to do that.

He usually gives a fake name, but I confirmed his real name. My research suggests he has been doing this for a few years.

Below are some links I found on him:

“Coffee date predator still out there” - PoPville – January 2, 2024

“Coffee date predator sighting in Dupont” - PoPville – February 12, 2024

“Coffee date predator not giving up: still on the prowl” - PoPville – June 24, 204

DuPont Circle “coffee date predator” and his sidekick : r/DCBitches – March 10, 2026

"He immediately pulled me in and pushed his face against mine. I pushed him away and told him to get off."

"He then hugged and kissed my cheek, completely without my consent."

"Less than 5 minutes after meeting up with him, he made up excuses to touch me in a way that was controlling/uncomfortable (e.g., insisted on “helping me” cross the street by grabbing my arm without consent) and made vile sexual comments to me."

apartment hunting in dc w/ a pretty low studio budget

hi all! i'm looking for advice on apartments in DC as a young female professional. i would live with roommates but am willing to go into a little rent burden for a solo studio - my monthly rent budget excluding utilities is hovering around $1860. i honestly cannot go much higher than that without feeling it.

some things i'm looking for: older renovated buildings, safety/pest control is a big concern, nighlife doesn't matter that much to me but walkability (eg. cafes for working from home or weekends, restaurants) definitely matters. i've been looking at adams morgan, union market/noma, columbia heights, h-street. are there any specific apartments anyone would recommend?

some places i've had my eyes on: admo heights, highview & castle manor, harvard village, i5 union market, the belgard, and sonya.

any suggestions or help would be appreciated!! thanks all!

**edit: also probably important to mention that i will NOT have a car haha so metro accessibility is great too. thanks everyone for their responses!

Job Search

Hi! I was recently fired from my job and don’t qualify for unemployment. Does anyone have any jobs where I can start looking? I’ve applied to over 100 jobs already and all of them either never respond or are outside sales/mlm vibes. My resume is kinda all over the place because what I majored in isn’t what I started working in once I graduated. I have a background in politics, marketing, and coding. True definition of jack of all trades, master of none. I want to transition into computer science/data analyst but I don’t know how to break into that field or where to even start. Any tips would be helpful! And if your job is hiring, please let me know!

Cat boarding options?

I am planning on getting some construction work done at my house that will require my cat to be somewhere else for a few days, which means I am looking at boarding. I am filled with dread. Any recommendations on a facility that is actually great and attentive and isn't just rows of cats stuck in tiny crates and/or a pet sitting option that's not just some rando off rover?

UPS Store Lost my Rent the Runway Package

Hi ladies! This is a long shot but I dropped off my RTR package last Monday at the UPS in Navy Yard and now I’ve gotten hit with $160 in late fees from RTR because they haven’t received the package yet.
I
went to check my RTR account and it doesn’t even show a record of UPS scanning the return label. I made a rookie mistake and didn’t get a receipt from the UPS store (lesson learned !!!). Does anyone know how I can resolve this? Do I ask UPS for camera footage lol?

Lovely Bride Scam

Anybody else recently get kinda scammed by Lovely Bride? Aka store maybe pocketing dress sales and not actually submitting orders to designers, sending brides knockoffs instead or not fulfilling dress orders at all? I know this sounds crazy but something very scammy has been happening in that shop. I think the current franchise owners are getting ousted because of it.

If you are looking for a bridal shop, I would NOT use lovely bride until they get new management. Go anywhere else

where could i tan next week??

hi!! i have a very specific request. it’s my birthday next tuesday (5/19) and it’s forecasted to be in the low 90s. one thing about me…..i hate the heat! i grew up in texas so i’m very used to the low 90s on my birthday but every birthday i’ve had here has been perfect up until now (which is in the 70s for me)

so i’m very sad that we’re heating up so fast BUT i did take the day off and don’t have concrete plans yet. i also still have my winter shade and desperately need some sun, so while knowing that the pools aren’t open, where would you go to tan if you had the day off next week and it was in the 90s!

would i love to have a body of water while i tan? yes, but understood that it’s not super realistic. bonus points if you know somewhere in MD because i’m technically a suburban resident in hiding

Staycation itinerary?

Hi BWT! I have an unexpected week off at the end of this month and will probably stay in DC for some/all of it. At this point I feel like I've done all of the big touristy things but would still love the chance to explore the city. If you were me, what would you do? Would love any scenic neighborhoods, smaller museums, underrated restaurants, or truly anything else.

Hairstylist for highlights?

Hey all, I see some old posts (1-3 years old) about general hairstyling services. Can anyone make a recommendation for someone who can highlight and cut my hair?

I have 1B hair, so not super complicated. I have had a rough year on my hair (had a TERRIBLE coloring experience at Bang Salon City Vista and have been recovering ever since), so I have some trust issues. I usually prefer to visit my stylist back home in NC because I haven’t found someone here, but I have a graduation this weekend and a wedding at the end of the month and would like to get at least a partial highlight.

I like a fine weave on my highlights (not chunky) and typically pay $180 (not including tip) for a full highlight, toning, and cut/style at home. Is there anywhere in this city that is remotely comparable to that price-wise and has good technique? Technique matters more to me, but I really would love to stay under $230 before tip, if possible.

Thanks so much!

Eyeglasses frames recommendations needed

Hey all, my eyes have been really strained lately, and I went to my eye doctor and he mentioned that my current glasses from Warby Parker have the optical center/lens placement wrong which might be causing the strain.

My doctor is going to make the new lenses for me, so I’m just looking to buy frames. My budget is around $150–$250 max. I wear glasses everyday, so could also stretch just a little bit.

I know my budget is not that much, but does anyone have recommendations for good frame places in DC? Would appreciate your recs! thank youuu.
