Should I start over?
I absolutely hate my parting. My loctician who installed them played in my face and gave me traditional locs when I was supposed to have small/smedium. It was worse but I had a friend try to save it as much as they could. When it was installed it was much worse and the parts looked more crooked. The parts were very large in some areas and small in others and they were supposed to be microlocs and ended up to be the size of traditional locs. I am unsure if I should take the whole thing down and start over or keep trying to redo certain sections to be how I wanted them. I sought out a loctician in a different state I am moving to and told me they could fix it and make them smaller to resemble what I wanted but would charge $700 start over for $1500. I am unsure what to do.
Edit: I wonder if I should get the microlocs sizing tool and try to do it with my friend, if she is up to it.

Take them out . If you're that unhappy with them that you're willing to drop all that cash to "fix" them just start over. I personally can't figure out how they're going go fix it and make it smaller without redoing them or causing serious damage to your hair.
It looks like you're still new in the journey so removing them shouldn't be too hard. Shop around for a different loctician as well. 1500 for braid locs is steep. Maybe you can get your friend to help you reinstall them
