40 Photos Of People Who Had An Unlucky Salon Visit

Visiting a beauty salon for the first time can be a nerve-wracking experience. Worries like, will the stylist understand your vision or will they have the skills and experience to pull it off, are some that may cross one’s mind. We even tend to scour the web for an inspo pic to take with us, but perhaps that is our biggest mistake. After all, realistically speaking how achievable is the look?

#6 This Nail Salon Is Gaslighting Me

I asked for color #17 in the book (background) while at the nail salon today. When she started painting my nails with the #17 in the bottle, I was surprised and asked if she accidentally grabbed the wrong one – since it was a completely different color.

They said nope, that was correct. I asked to swap out for a different color and politely suggested they double-check in case there was a labeling error.

The response: These #17 colors are the same, so they don’t need to be checked. It’s just that their colors “fade over time” like “because of the sun and stuff.”

#7 This Was My Worst Moment

#14 Should I Go Back And Request A Refund?

I got these this afternoon and paid $90 AUD, the pictures on their reviews are really good so I decided to give them a try, I hated them when I walked out but I really struggle with confrontation. I asked for Gel-X with a black French tip but they don’t even look like a French tip and the application is extremely messy. Do I go back tomorrow and request a refund? I’m really unhappy with them, especially at that price point.

#16 How Do I Ask For Better Layers? I Told The Girl She Could Go Up To An Inch And A Half For Layers But It Looks Like She Just Cut At That Mark Instead Of Making It Look Cohesive

Does it really look as bad as I think it does and how would I go about fixing this?

They also lied and told me it was all one color, then said it was my fault for dying my hair with semi-permanent dye three years ago (which I told them about in advance).

#26 It’s Definitely Ugly, Right? Is This Bad Enough That You Would Ask For A Refund? I Paid 290 For It And Didn’t Tip

I felt so bad I almost cried but I couldn’t justify tipping when I hated it so much, maybe I’m being dramatic. The first picture was the haircut I wanted, the second picture was the color I wanted. All my friends said it was cute, and one even said it looked like the picture I gave.

#27 My Hair Stylist, During My Appointment, Had Another Client And Left Bleach In My Hair For Over An Hour. Now I Have Chemical Burns, And She Has No Advice

#29 What I Asked For vs. What I Got. What Would Y’all Have Done If A Licensed Hair Stylist Did This? I Couldn’t Even Get It Corrected By Another Salon

This is how my stylist let me leave after telling me it looked amazing. I paid $85. I ended up shaving it off. It was super dead and ugly and now I permanently wear wigs.

She and her coworkers were hyping me up that it looked great but look at all those patches.

What I asked for (my hair already looked like this but the brown was grown out too long) vs. what I got. Uneven, hard lines at the scalp rather than a soft fade from brown, streaks of unbleached hair, and streaks near the scalp.

#40 What I Asked For vs. What I Got. I Told The Lady I Was Nervous, And She Thought It Would Be A Good Idea If I Didn’t Look While She Did It And “Trust The Process”. $300 For This
