56 Hilarious Hair Salon Fails That Will Make You Want To Cut Your Own Hair At Home
Your Pinterest board might have been perfect and your reference photo perfectly clear. You even turned your phone screen up to maximum brightness and held it directly in front of their face to remove all possible ambiguity. You said the words slowly. You used hand gestures. And somehow, somehow, you left having to cancel all your plans for the next 4-6 weeks.
Hair salon fails hit different because hair is not furniture. You cannot return it. You cannot cover it with a throw pillow. It just lives there, on your head, in public, every single day, while you wait for time to fix what scissors destroyed. These poor people know the feeling intimately. Welcome to the support group.

I obviously didn’t see how bad this was until after I got home from the salon. It’s safe to say I’m very disappointed. Give me your opinions and the courage to demand my money back.

Can We All Agree This Is A Bad Haircut?
Last week I cut my hair to my shoulders and feel like I did a great job and loved it. I went to a salon to make sure it was even and to slightly thin the bottom. I specifically asked for no layers and a little thinning. She hacked my hair. She cut it shorter, made it more uneven, cut layers, and did way too much thinning.

Bad Haircut
My mother just got her haircut and asked for a longish bob. This is what she came out with; she said that the lady took a lot of layers off and used a razor. Is there any way of saving this? Or a good way to style. Shes at bit of a loss, as usually will just tie her hair up or straighten it.

Hair Salon Fail, What I've Wanted vs. What I've Got
It took her 4 hours just for that. She said that she can't bleach my hair lighter because it will look trashy lol. But I requested it as light as possible. She was even toning it with grey. It turned out very warm. I went to the salon because I was afraid of ruining my own hair at home; sure, they know what they are doing in the hair salon. This was a 200 € haircut.

This was terrible that you had to go to Reddit to see most of the pictures. How lazy to make the readers do all the work. If I wanted to hang out with people on Reddit I would.

The only reason I'm here is that I prefer someone to parse Reddit for me. If I have to do it myself I might as well skip the middleman.

One time, I brought a picture of myself to the salon because I really liked that cut. She still butchered my hair. I tried to be positive about it but then my boyfriend at the time saw it and he looked weird. The whole thing sucked.

My hair has been butchered so many times by "professionals" that I prefer to cut and dye it myself most of the time. If I s***w it up, at least it was cheaper and I knew the risks.
