Client being picky

I, a (17F) photographer had my
First paid shoot today. I had charged a small fee of 60$ (entrance fee for the venue, deposit, travel fee - above 25kM ALL INCLUDED) . The photos were edited and matched my business media on my feeds, website, and accounts. I had originally discussed my beginner level. They were fine. I honestly charged them way less for how much I delivered (50+ edited photos.) I spent 6 hours editing after the shoot. We had executed the poses they wanted, I made it look sunny despite the pouring rain like they asked. And then I get a message basically explaining how they were unhappy with the “unprofessionalism of the photo” and how it seemed as if just slapped a filter on when that is so far from the truth. I spent 6 hours removing people from the background, fixing the lighting, adjusting the coloring, removing blemishes etc. (ChatGPT text they sent too..) I replied with a nice message thanking for their feedback and offered a refund or a re-edit to how they wanted. They kept on explaining they were not happy and the unprofessionalism of the photos was horrible. They refused to explain the exact things they disliked. I cannot tell if I should refund or hold a firm stance and re edit but not offer a refund.
