Paris salon charged 260€ when booking said 180€. Is this normal?
I booked a balayage + cut through Planity for 180€. I don’t speak French well, so I showed a mushroom brown inspo photo and told them to do what they thought was best. They never mentioned extra charges during the appointment. At the end, they just showed me a total of 260€. I paid because I was tired and had somewhere to be, but only realized afterwards that it was 80€ more than the listed booking. When I went back to ask about the price and to get it fixed, they said I had “additional treatments” and that next time I should ask the price before they do anything. My hair is frizzy and damaged, so I don’t really understand what treatments I paid for. It was supposed to be under 3 hours but took well over 4. The result looks uneven and warm instead of the cool mushroom tone I showed. They agreed to redo it tomorrow for free. Is this kind of surprise pricing normal in Paris salons, or is it expected that they warn you first? submitted by /u/Glum-Relief1643 to r/Expats_In_France [link] [comments]

Diagnosed with Pars planitis in my early twenties (also any hope?)
Hi everyone! I never thought I would be here writing..sigh it feels soo bad getting diagnosed with this disease. I wanted to share my story, hear yours and maybe feel a little hopeful.. because it's so scary thinking of losing eye sight. (Note: Whenever I say "after some time" it means probably 1-2 years difference. I am sorry idk exact time difference). So it all started with one tiny black dot in the right eye, was around 18/19 that time I suppose. The doc said it's nothing and said well, she can't see properly from left eye and she doesn't know that and I left with specs 0.5 for both eyes (mind you I never experienced any issues and I could read things from far away). After some time, I saw a lot of floaters, and I mean a lot like pepper sprayed in front of my eye. So this time went to another doc, he couldn't diagnosed either..said maybe something would've happened in her childhood (yeah it shocked me). Whatever went to another hospital because the floaters were so crazy and I thought I might go blind. This time, I was diagnosed with a slight cataract and lattice degeneration, did barrage laser for that and things were for quite a while. Floaters were okay too, was seeing them less. I kept yearly check ups and in recent one, the doc diagnosed me with anterior uvetitis, Then did quite a lot of blood tests, all normal. After 4+ months, I wasn't seeing any results and infact the doc seemed more and more confused about my eye. So I consulted another doc. And viola he diagnosed me with Pars planitis and started with Predforte(tapering from 6 to 1) and Nepalact. A lot of things were listed in the report snowbanks and stuff. Again, did some more blood tests and thankfully all normal.In recent visit he said the inflammation is reduced but remarked that the cataract is complicated. And now started with meds. Quite a high dose. All of this over the years has been so so confusing, frustrating and stressful.The fear of going blind is so much, it's paralyzing. I am a developer, my work involves screens and like everything from reading blogs to code, I need to look at a screen. So the thought of going blind is very scary. And I am already so going through depression and anxiety, recently trying to get it under control kinda. I also wonder sometimes if depression has been a reason for this weird disease lol. Unemployment is a cherry on the top; a major reason for my mental health. I am not sure how much stress and screen time affects it but I am very scared of the future, the costs, the meds and blindness. How do you even cope with this? And does stress and screen time affects it? (btw my mom thinks it does smh :")) submitted by /u/aoii0101 to r/Uveitis [link] [comments]

Les coiffeurs nous arnaquent !
Bonjour, derrière ce titre assurément provocateur, je ne cherche pas à critiquer les coiffeurs et les coiffeuses à travers leur métiers et leur savoir-faire mais plutôt par rapport à une pratique courante que je trouve honteuse. Ils nous font parfois raquer de manière injustifiée. Le paiement au forfait plutôt qu’à la prestation. Je m’explique avec un exemple concret. Vous êtes un homme aux cheveux longs, juste les contours des oreilles et la nuque rasés à la tondeuse 3mm avec une belle délimitation pour faire propre. Rien d’extravagant, les goûts et les couleurs, bref. Vous allez chez le coiffeur, il passe littéralement 5min à la tondeuse pour faire les contours (temps enregistré en loucedé avec ma montre pour m’en assurer) matériel et balais compris. C’est propre certes, heureusement même. Et arrivé à la caisse : « ça fera 32€ sivouplé » Hein ? quoi ? comment ? Pourquoi ? qui suis-je ? Petit calcul mathématique des familles : taux horaire de 384€/h !!! Et quand vous notifiez cette information cocasse à votre interlocuteur, vous avez le droit à : - ah mais c’est comme ça. - ah mais c’est au forfait j’y peux rien. - ah mais c’est pas moi qui décide je ne suis qu’employé. Même un médecin spécialiste avec 15ans d’études et qui sauve des chatons sur son temps libre ne se permettrait pas de demander autant. Alors je comprends les notions de charges, impôts, cotisations, etc.. mais quand vous faites l’analogie avec un autre métier artisanal non luxueux, ils tournent plutôt entre 60 et 100€/h. Ce qui paraît totalement raisonnable. Alors attention je ne dis pas que tous les coiffeurs sont des mauvais coiffeurs, y’a aussi des bons coiffeurs.. mais cela reste récurent et très ennuyant, surtout en milieu rural où il n’y a pléthore de coiffeurs/barbiers. (Oui en plus le mec a une barbe quoi, quel hipster !) À part demander en amont quelle sera le coût de cette prestation et partir si cela ne nous convient pas, quelle idée avez-vous pour régler ce petit problème de la vie quotidienne ? Sachant qu’on doit passer maintenant le plus souvent par Planity pour réserver. Les coiffeurs et coiffeuses sont bienvenus à réagir pour nous donner leur jus-tif-ication tarifaire, une explication frange et nette, un argument qui tienne la coupe ou au moins une réponse pas trop tirée par les cheveux. submitted by

Pars Planitis/ Methotrexate
Hello, I am a 31yo Female, I have had pars planitis for 1.5 years. My doctor started me with Predisolin Eyedrops and that helped for a while. Due to my pars planitis flaring up after he would try to ween me off the drops, he referred me to a Retinal Specialist. I have been seeing him for almost a year now. We have done a few steroid injections and I recently had a flare up. I went to see my rheumatologist and they both recommended I start methotrexate. Is there anyone that has experienced this? Does this ever go away? I am honestly scared and nervous due to all of the stories I read about methotrexate. submitted by /u/Competitive-Pipe-527 to r/Uveitis [link] [comments]

Does anyone else have pars planitis without treatment?
I went to an ophthalmologist who diagnosed me with pars planitis. He is a very good specialist, one of the best in the country, and seemed professional and experienced with eye inflammation. He said that my inflammation (pars planitis in both eyes) is very mild and that any treatment would do more harm than good. My only symptom is a huge amount of floaters. Is it normal that I’m not on any medication? I should add that I’ve had uveitis for over a year, and the only thing that happens is that I occasionally get new floaters, but other than that, I have no symptoms submitted by /u/JumpyEntrepreneur899 to r/Uveitis [link] [comments]

Experimental Treatment for Pars Planitis / chronic intermediate uveitis
Hello community, my (23F) mom (56F) has struggled with inflammation in her eyes for years, causing her to slowly go blind, along with sporadic high fevers at least once a month. The only thing that has seemed to decrease the frequency of her fevers has been changing her diet. She has completely eliminated gluten, diary, added sugar, most processed foods. She eats very strict and very clean. For the last 12 years her doctors said she had an undiagnosable immune disease they were not willing to put a name to, but said the pressure and problems with her eye mimic diabetic retinopathy, even though she is not a diabetic. Also for the last 12 years a she has received injections of steroids in her eyes and daily uses eyedrops that treat glaucoma. This years her doctors decide she has “pars planitis” which is very vague and had no cure. She has had tons of blood work done with the only irregularity being an M-spike which could indicate multiple myeloma but she saw a specialist who ruled that out but continues to monitor it. If anyone has ideas for what she should try to stop her eye sight from further deterioration, specialists she should see, or treatment of autoimmune disorders pls comment submitted by /u/brokochannel to r/AskDocs [link] [comments]

Anyone else have Pars Planitis? It's also a part of intermediate uveitis but more specific.
Hi! I've had Pars Planitis/intermediate uveitis for about 20 years. When it was first diagnosed we did the wait and see approach and it went into remission for 10 years. After a series of traumatic, stressful life events it resurfaced worse than my original symptoms. I feel lucky to have Dr. John Huang local to me and have been his patient for many years. Have done prednisone, then on to methotrexate for many years, and am now getting steroid shots in one or both eyes every few months along with the methotrexate. I've had complications causing inflammation of my optic nerve and cystoid macular edema. For some reason my left eye has always been the stubborn one that is less responsive to treatment. Just wanted to introduce myself. 🙂 Also wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and might give me an idea what options might come up in the future. submitted by /u/ArtistAlicat59 to r/Uveitis [link] [comments]

Pars Planitis and Post-Offer Physical?
This is a stretch- but just wanted to know if anyone with pars Planitis or uveitis as ever taken a post-offer physical for employment. They do vision tests- and my pars Planitis is very acute and doesn't affect my vision really at all. (I'm not going to be an EMT or Firefighter- just a desk job ha) Should I be worried about losing out on a job because of this? I'm fairly certain that I shouldn't worry at all, just wanted to post this to see if anybody had any information! Thank you! submitted by /u/FitzRoyal to r/Uveitis [link] [comments]

Pars planitis is a SOB
Greetings all, I just stumbled on this subreddit. I thought I would tell my story with pars planitis. Some of the details are hazy for me, and I have not been the best advocate for myself. It all started 27 year ago when I went from an average sighted 13 year old to legally blind in less than month. (You are telling me I am suppose to be able to see that big E?) It was like a thick fog obscured everything. The local backwoods eye Dr. had no clue what was going on. So we traveled to get second and third opinions. Eventually we got the diagnosis pars planitis, with no specific cause. They started the steroid shots in both eyes as well as drops. And the drops to counteract the side effects of the drops. And I was on oral steroids. I gained a ton of weight really fast. It sucked. Years went on, it would get better and worse due to flair ups. I was told I should try not to exert myself, so no running or bending over, and try not to sneeze. I didn't get to take a PE class after the 8th grade. It was a pretty traumatic few years. We moved across the US to be near PP specialists. By my mid-teens it had gotten bad enough I had a vitrectomy in my worse eye (left). I don't remember the recovery being all that bad. It felt like I had an eyelash in my eye for a week. I did get to wear an eye patch to high school. Being a punk rock kid I thought that was pretty sweet. I ended up going to college. Vocational rehab helped pay for that, and my books, and some adaptive tech around my apartment. After suffering all the trauma and terror of my teens during my 20's and early 30's I didn't keep up with my eye doctors very well. It didn't help not having health insurance for stretches. I traveled the world and took dead-end jobs ignoring my problems as best I could. At one point I did have a detached retina, and the laser surgely to fix that. I also had the laser treatments to deal with some of the leaking blood vessels. I was low-visioned, but unless someone saw me reading for the most part I could pass as normal. When I did get insurance again I would see a doc. They would put me back on eye drops, and suggest shots to help regain some vision. For me the shots work for a few months and things start getting worse again. I have a lot of fear and anxiety about the shots. I hate them. Even today every few years my doc (who I have been seeing off and on for the last 20 years) will suggest the shots again. Sometimes I say yes, sometimes I refuse. At this point I don't ever plan to have them again. So today I'm 40 years old and with like 20/90 and 20/300 vision - frankly I am not 100% sure of the numbers. Fortunately I got out of my lost period of my 20's and early 30's, went back to school for an advanced degree, got a solid career and insurance! I've been seeing a doctor again regularly for the past few years. I've got cataracts and astigmatism. The doc tells me I will need to get cataract surgery at some point, which may trigger flare ups again. The doc seems to think even with surgery there is likely some permanent damage, so there is a limit to how much better my sight can get. The eye I had a vitrectomy in has always been my good, quiet eye, so I've asked about getting a vitrectomy in my bad eye. He says they rarely do those anymore, and perhaps we should pursue a steroid implant. We shall see. I have never had a driver's license. At one point or another I've tred and been able to pass the eye exam with driving restrictions, but never felt safe the few times I went out to practice. I have two kids and a rad wife who is willing to drive my ass around. I love public transportation, but sadly our current city doesn't have the greatest system so my independence suffers some. Work folks are great. I have a high visibility keyboard and arms for my computer monitors so they can be 8 inches from my face, which seems to be the sweet spot for me. If you work on a computer get a computer arm! I didn't for awhile and suffered from lower back issues because I was bending forward so much. Also having a magnifying app on my smart phone has been a game changer for me. I was never good about carrying a magnifying card in my wallet, but I always needed one. My phone app is great! Anyhow, sorry about the rambling post. I've always wanted a place to share my experience with PP and meet others with it. I even considered starting a Facebook group for those with it. This seems like a great little reddit community. I plan to be around and help where I can. All the best! submitted by /u/TheWorldHatesPaul to r/Uveitis [link] [comments]

Pars planitis
Anyone have any experience with pars planitis? I've had it since 2012 in both eyes. I've got pretty bad floaters on my right eye, and mild ones in the left. My right eye has always been worse, so I've had two steroid injections in the right eye which caused a cataract. I've since had cataract surgery and then a YAG to try and clear the vision further. Overall my vision sucks in that eye, even when corrected. I see mostly out of my left eye. At what point do ophthalmologists move forward with a medication that isn't a shot in the eye? Has anyone had any luck with different medications? I'm being monitored for some sort of autoimmune disease and my blood levels continuously come back elevated in many areas, but my rheumy is reluctant to put me on anything other than plaquenil without knowing what is wrong. I just feel frustrated and sick of getting a needle shoved in my eye! submitted by /u/Butdear to r/Uveitis [link] [comments]
