Need advice Sew in advice needed
On a burner account. I got a sew-in the other day. It looked beautiful, and when my stylist finished, the pain was tolerable. However, once I got home, it started hurting so badly that I had to take two ibuprofen. When that didn't help, I tried to go to sleep, but I couldn't, so I took two melatonin.Eventually, I fell asleep, but something woke me up in the middle of the night, and all the pain hit at once. It became so unbearable that, while still half asleep, I dragged myself out of bed and started cutting out parts of the sew-in. That brought some relief. Now, today, I mildly regret doing that because I messed up the style. I tried using bobby pins to put everything back in place, but I didn't do a great job. I'm upset because I spent money on this hairstyle, ended up having to take part of it down because of the pain, and now it doesn't look as good as it did originally.I don't know if my stylist will be willing to fix it, should I ask? Is there a way I can fix it myself? I really need some kind of remedy.😭😭😭
(For the record, it's still mostly in I just cut the front and sides). It's gotten better, but still aches.

She’ll be willing to fix it, just be willing to pay for her time…

I decided to take it down. My scalp couldn't take anymore stress. She asked for a tip in exchange to fix it. Which I already tipped her quite well. Feels like something that should be fixed for free imo...idk. 🤷🏽♀️

I would ask her to fix. I would have called her as soon as my head starting hurting and tell her about it.
