Ladies who have received a bad haircut, style, or color: What's your story?

Question

Ladies: The bad haircut/style/color, I'm sure, has happened to all of you at some point in your lives.

But has one bad experience upset you to the point of tears?

Let's hear what you have to say!

Answer 1

I moved to a different town so I had to look for a new hairdresser. I found one that was supposedly "very good with short hair". So I went to her to get a short, messy pixie cut. She was cutting and cutting and when I thought she was done, she said I had too much highlighting in my hair and that she'd need to fix it. I thought she was going to color it but instead, she took the thinning shears and cut about half of my hair out! My hair is not exactly thick so when she was done I looked like I was almost bald! It took me 9 months to finally gather up the courage to get my hair cut again!

Answer 2

I had it happen to me a couple times...when I was younger, we were quite poor, so my mom would take me to get $4 - $5 haircuts from elderly women who had no sense of style (except how to make flower arrangements) who felt the need to tell me what would look good on me rather than giving me the haircut I'd ask for. It'd always end up really short (boy style) or whacked up crooked bangs...those ladies made me cry twice before I finally told my mother I'd rather not get my haircut (wasting her $5) if they weren't gonna do what I asked. I always got over it cause it does grow back, but it sure does suck to look stupid for a while...

Answer 3

When I was 15 I got my hair cut way too short and I told the lady to color it light brown but it ended up like dark red! It looked so ugly against my skin tone. As soon as I left the salon I started crying because it looked horrible! So the next day I went back and told her I hated it and she added highlights for no extra charge. My mom still makes fun of me about how I actually cried about my hair!

Answer 4

When I was in Highshool I got my first highlights, I was already scared of getting color in my hair but the lady assured me that it would be ok, she sat me down and started putting them in after a while she put me under the dryer and left me there, i'd never had highlights b4 so I didnt know how long she was supposed to leave me there. she finally came back and took my hair down and I start seeing hair falling out, I start freaking out and she assured me that it was normal. I called my mom after she was done and she told me it wasn't normal at all and she left me under the dryer too long. The girl had burned my hair and it was falling off where it was burnt, It took me forever to grow out where it was burnt, needless to say I went back and b****ed her out!
