I also wanted to add that I had a gnat infestation early this year and a claimed 'horticulture expert'/ neighbor helped me leach the soil and losten roots, and recommended a 10-1 parts bleach to 10 part water to kill gnats and then we drenched it like crazy to rinse it. Does this look like it may have a defincency? The tips are curling. Just help me save this hundred + dollar plant!

It's not unusual to find people operating at well beyond their limitations (your neighbor). Scheesch! Did he/she consider the implications of all the sodium chloride left behind after the bleach reaction, or the upward spike in pH the homebrewed gnaticide caused?

I feel really bad for you - and wish you'd have come here for advice about the gnats, which are actually more a symptom of an underlying problem than a problem in and of themselves.

Thank you Al! I will from now on. I should have known better, it went against my instincts. Well is there any hope to balance it out or should I return it? My plant center knows me by name and has done so for me before without any issues. I would save it if you think there is a chance.
Thank you!

Damaged fronds don't recover. You have to wait for new ones to grow. The plant has to recover first. So it's a matter of time. The quickest and easiest solution is to get a replacement. Golden Canes are fairly drought tolerant, for a palm, so you can err a bit on the side of dryness with the watering. Still need to give it a good flushing from time to time to wash out excess salt build up.
