Did you enjoy the pampering when it was actually happening or was it all about the end result for you?
I just ask because for me, part of the enjoyment of a manicure, getting my hair done, make up done is the actual process - having a near head message with the shampoo etc. Unless i was having it done for a specific reason, like attending a wedding or party straight after, (in which case i wouldn't trust a freebie but pay for somebody I know and trust to style it in a way i like to do it), i would just shrug my shoulders and either wash and restyle it or get the nail polish remover out.
Unless it is something that is going to last a long time and can't be repaired (like a hair cut), i would still just appreciate the fact that i had got something for free and the pampering I enjoyed when it was actually being done.
As i say, if it was for something specific where i wasnk( going to have the time to sort it out afterwards, i would dig my heels in, tell them i wasn't happy and demand they sort it out but as i say, i would have been paying for them to do it which makes a huge difference. And i would still be more polite than Gemma was when saying I'd rather it was styled differently.
