Horrifying hair cutting stories seem to be a part of everyone's life story. They all typically begin innocently enough with a new salon, stylist, or perhaps an old stylist having an off day. Everyone loves the feeling of a new, fresh hair cut and the improvement it can make to an appearance. It is when something goes terribly wrong that we fall victim to being the center of one of these stories.
The most common complaint at the center of these stories involve stylists getting a little carried away with their scissors. The worst part about a bad cut is that once the hair is taken off, nothing can be done to put it back on. Typically, stylist can produce some time of style to work with the too short cut. Most of the time, these stories are not too bad, maybe just an inch shorter than requested, but there are horror stories like this one.
One story involves a woman who had been growing out her locks for years. She tried a new stylist, requesting only a healthy trim of no more than three inches. The stylist began the haircut by making a dramatic cut that resulted in an eight inch loss of hair. The client had no choice but to even the cut out all over, losing all of her long locks.
Other people complain when they bring in an image of a particular style, then come out with a style that in no way resembles that cut. It is understandable that not every style is going to look the same on every person. However, many stories tell of incidents where images of a sleek bob turn into a shaggy, layered mess.
One woman was excited to try a layered, shoulder length bob with side swept bangs. She knew she needed this particular style in order for her locks to fit her face. The stylist appeared to understand the request and went to work on the client. When she spun the chair around to reveal her work, the client gasped in horror. She was left with a super short, sleek bob with fringe bangs.
Men can also be at the center of a bad day at the barber. Unfortunately for men, the mistakes made when giving them a cut are usually more dramatic and noticeable. They also are much harder to correct because the hair is already so short.
One gentleman recounted his day at the barber as never ending. This man is a member of the military and requested a simple high and tight style cut. He had been to this barber before and had confidence in the cut. When he came out, he was sporting uneven lines and ridge-like waves on top of his head. The only solution left to fix it was a buzz cut to the whole head.
Bad hair cutting stories like these are what makes customers cringe at the thought of trying a new salon. The bad thing is even an experienced stylist can have an off day. The best way a customer can look at situations like this is that it's just hair and it will eventually grow back.
