17 People Who Deeply Regretted Going to the Beauty Salon

Beauty salons are like a magician’s hat: anybody going in may come out totally transformed. And although that transformation is supposed to be for the better, things can go sideways. Then, when people see they didn’t look as expected, instead of magic, people experience a horror show.

1. “I just had a microblading session a couple of days ago, and it is horrible. My eyebrows have gone pitch black, and I can’t even leave my house looking like that!”

2. “My hairdresser decided to turn me into Will from Stranger Things. Now I’m in the bathroom begging for my hair to grow faster.”

3. “I can’t tell if these look bad or if I’m overreacting. I just got these done yesterday, and the strokes look so long and straight!”

4. “I got the French bob I wanted, and I think it was a big mistake...”

5. “I got an undercut, and I think I regret it.”

6. “Paid almost $700 for this patchy, uneven balayage that took 10 hours. Will it be possible to demand a refund?”

7. “I had a new stylist.”

8. “Before, I had a blunt, single-length cut. I’ve been growing my hair and asking for a trim. I got this...”

9. “I went to a hair salon to dye my hair red, paid just over $200 for this procedure, and when I got home, I realized multiple spots were missed, and the cut was uneven.”

10. “First time getting gel done, should I ask them to fix it?!”

11. “I think I got a bad haircut/layers. Am I right, or am I just psyching myself out?”

12. “Me from the last few weeks vs. the cut I have today.”

13. “I told the woman only to use clear and black nail polish for the edges, but she painted almost half of each nail black.”

14. “Botched uneven brows, done 48 hours ago.”

15. “My local barbers. Asked for an inch off the length and a bread trim.”

16. “I asked for long layers. Please help 😭”

17. “This is after the first cut where I saw how uneven it was vs. After the ’fix.’”
