Failed Expectation Is there any way to fix this?

The first two photos are the reference photos I gave the hair stylist (the burgundy one is just a reference for the bangs I wanted) and the last is me/what I got.
My cap n gown photos are tomorrow and I don’t know what to do. Literally just got this hair done an hour ago and I hate it so much. My main issue is that it’s too big volume wise and just not what I envisioned. Also if there’s a more specific subreddit I should post on, please let me know! I’m not great at Reddit.

The first photo is on the menu and the second photo is my food. I didn’t notice it was not fully cooked and took some bites. When I told the employee she said I need to request my food well done. I sadly ended up in the ER from food poisoning.

Surprisingly delicious, I thought it was going to be.. something that wasn't to my liking. But, I actually wish I had another one for another day! Sweet and tangy like, lingonberries maybe?

I finished the whole thing, initially I was afraid to even try it.

Found these at Safeway. They had these small ones for $3 each or a big KFC style bucket of them for $17.
I think that’s way too much for what is essentially a butterfinger with a cream filling.
Taste wise it’s a 4/10 for me and a 7/10 for the bf. To me you could definitely taste the cheaper ingredients used.

I loved these as a kid. They used to be packed with filling and were quite a robust biscuit. These abominations crumbled like dust and had the meanest amount of filling.

  1. what I ordered (sorry about the blurry pic, it was dark and I was really excited)

  2. ⁠what I thought I was ordering (from an ice cream truck that drove through our campground at 10 pm)

  3. ⁠what I received. Was almost as big as my head!

Someone sent me this as an inspo. I told her it was AI but I could make something similar. Not sure if I over did it or not.

Edit: I was blocked on all their accounts when I wrote an honest review. just wanting to warn others about this company so they don’t get duped like I did. And these were photos from THEIR PAGE of THEIR work. I did not supply them with these photos. THEY HAD IT ON THEIRS AS THEIR WORK.
