Haircut Horror Stories 

"I WANT MY BEYONCE BRAIDS!"

The way she described it, she made it seem like she had no hair. That was a bob

Most of the haircut disasters are done by dads 😂😂

4:02 she exaggerated the whole thing. I thought i was going to see her bald or something lol😂😂

That blonde was saying it like,"I got like a buzz cut.....all my hair was gone!!!!" And then she showed the picture and It was like up to her shoulders and I was like 😧😤😡

“Almost a buzz cut”

4:01 She said it was almost as short as a buzz cut... well that's NOT a buzz cut, not even close to a pixie. That's basically long hair.

I had the "I want to speak to your manager" haircut when I was 15. I found a picture of myself from back then and I instantly wanted to die.

when your barber realises you cheated on him for another barber......thats a horror story waiting to happen

That was no where near a buzz cut. Dear Lord people!

I was expecting Eleven-style hair when she said it was like a buzz cut.

When I was about seven my dad took me to a Supercuts because he wanted to get my hair cut to spite my mom (long story short they where divorced) and when they where done it was comepletly different lengths. One side was past my shoulder the other side was above my shoulder. When I got home my mom had to cut my hair even. I was pissed and so was she

When I was in kindergarten, my mom gave me a bowl cut. A few years ago, at a long-time friend's house, I saw a cute picture of her from kindergarten, but I didn't recognize the boy she was standing with. I asked her and she could barely contain her laughter "that little boy was you!"

My horror story: I was at a hairsalon and this girl was cutting my hair, I wasn't really paying attenttion, untill I realized she was literally cutting hairs on the top of my head straight from the root. I was too shy to say anything back at her. She kept cutting, not much just little hairs in sections and her superior came to look at the situation and she was "ooo stopp, what are you doing" and the girl says she was doing like supporting hairs to make it fluffy. And her superior had to explain to her it works with short cuts and not long cuts. And I had to grow those hairs out for a year it looked crazy. I cried.

Ella: In fifth grade... Shows picture of teenage Ella

Girl I had my hair shaved that’s a bob y’all exaggerate everything 😒🤦🏽‍♀️

That one girl kept saying how she had "no hair" and it was a "buzzcut" and it was legit just short girl hair and she did not look like a boy. I should know, I've had so many different hair cuts.

Am I the only one that thinks that Ella’s hair looked good?

She really looks like Beyoncé in that picture 😂

Was the new girl at school. I had curly long hair. The most popular boy in school asked me out. A few days later my mom cut my hair into a mullet. A mullet!! He broke up with me and nobody wanted to be my friend. Guess I am my hair.

3:10 does that lady know what a buzzcut is? Because 4:01 is not it

The worst is when the hairdresser doesn't know how to cut curly hair!

My worst haircut was when I was 6. I went to a hairstylist and I got my hair washed and everything. Once my haircut was done I LOVED it, I CHOSE to have a bowl cut with bangs and since my hair is soooooo thick it tucked in and now that I look back on it I realized that I looked like a mushroom with bangs.

My haircut story:Sooo I had really nice long hair right.ok.Then i went to the barbers for a TRIM.T-R-I-M.trim.i had a ponytail on and the lady reached for it. I thought that she was going to put my hair down but NOPE! she snipped off the WHOLE ThInG.......to this day I still get my hair cut at home

Hmm I think I’ll cancel my haircut appointment for tomorrow

There’s no way that ella was in 5th grade in that picture... she looks 16!

"It was sooooo short almost like a buzz cut" *shows picture* Literally has shoulder length hair tF

"It was a practically a buzzcut I looked so ugly" picture of perfectly cute pixie cut Me: ?????????

I was 12 and I wanted a trim and they cut off 6.5 inches of my hair and I didn't say anything because my mom was like "It needs to be shorter" and tears were rolling down my face and they asked if I was crying and I said that I was sweating because the damage had already been done and then I returned home and cried a ton because I looked like an egg with a little bit of hair.

Hey. Not everyone has a bad experience. I'm 15 and 6'4 and ive always had hair that reached around the bottom of my butt. Three days ago i cut it to an inch below my jaw and i will never have long hair again. It was 4 lbs of hair. I donated it and i love my hair so much now

When I was 5 I found scissors... I cut my hair the next day it was 6cm long I WAS 5

When I was in kindergarten I got head lice and my mom made me get my hair cut super short so it would just be easier, my birthday party rolled around and I just looked terrifying in the pictures so yeah I hope I never get lice again Side note : my best friend got lice too and had to cut her hair so we thankfully experienced it together

That moment when you tell your hairdresser you love your haircut but you actually hate it...😐

When I was like 3 my mom brought me to a cook out and I had really short hair like a bob. And I was running around in just a diaper and everyone thought I was a boy and asked my mom “ he’s so cute what’s his name” and she got sick of explaining it so she was just like “oh his name is Bob” like WTF mom.

when i was six, i went to this hairdresser because my hair needed to be cut. So we got to the place and there was my mum, grandma nd my dad there. And my mum said to the guy. 'Oh she just needs the ends done' So he starts cutting, and to my mothers horror. He started snipping off latrge amounts of hair and started thinning ou my thick cocasian hair. And I walked in having thick long hair. Went out with a thin bob

me: **watches haircut stories vid** also me: **gets voting ad**

DOES ELLA AGE???

A few months I thought i would look cute in side bangs, so I cut them myself and they turned out HORRIBLE I haven't told my mom yet and of course she hasn't noticed since my hair is super curly, so yeah...lets just say I haven't straightened my hair in a long time

I absolutely love Caitlin’s reaction to these stories as she’s working the cameras and all that😂😂😂

After a similar horror story at a hair salon five years ago, I bought my own professional scissors, and cut my own hair even since

4:01 Yeah. She 100% looks like a boy, and thats Definitely a buzz cut.

I looked like coconut head from Ned's Declassified

“I got pretty much.. almost a buzz cut” Honey that isn’t a buzz cut that’s a bob 💀💀

my mom begged me to get a haircut and i denied her every single time and i would cry when she tols me i had to. she tols me that i would only get 1 mm cut off so i no longer thought it was a big deal. but instead, she asked the hair dresser to cut off a few mm instead of 1mm. so the dresser cut it like about 70mm. my mom told me that she would cut 1mm just to convince me to go. That hairdresser deserved to be fired tbh. My hair was so short and ugly and it only messured like 200mm only.

That girl made it sound like her hair looked super horrible but I mean at 4:04 it sent even bad at all

3:07 is where she says "ITS A BUZZ CUT" 4:02 bruh..that's not a fucking buzz cut oml..

Soooooo when I was 11 I tried to cut my eyebrows or in other words “shape” them to be like the models on tv and I got my step dads mustache shaper and cut half of my eyebrow off, later when my mother noticed I told her that I used some of her face soap and it took off my eye brow...

When I was younger I kind of went to different haircut places each time for a few years, so this one time, I think I was 8, and the lady was asking me lots of questions (a good sign) but I didn’t know what layers and feathering and all this stuff meant, so I would look at my mom because she knew. The lady cutting my hair did not like that I was asking my mom, and I guess she felt like it was stupid that I didn’t know these terms or something like that, so she yelled at me “stop looking at your mom, you should know these answers!” That stressed me out a bit, I hate getting yelled at, so I told her that I didn’t know what she meant. She tried explaining it to me, is still didn’t get it, tried again, no luck. My mom tried, and I got it then. All of this just for me to tell her that I didn’t want layers, because I liked the cut I already had, and that one didn’t have layers.

My worst hair experience is from 1998 when I was 17. I had dyed my hair black since I was 14. The local theater group was looking for a girl my age to play Anne in Anne of Green Gables. I really wanted to audition, so I decided to dye my hair red. I didn’t know about color lifter!! My roots dyed beautifully, but the rest of my hair stayed black. I looked like a Halloween Oreo. Needless to say, I did not audition for the part!!

Okay, so that one girl didn't have anything close to a buzz cut she had a bob. Not even that short a bob. I like long hair don't get me wrong, but why are so many women afraid of or hating on the idea of short hair. It's not like only some people can pull it off, anyone can you just have to find the best style, but I feel like short hair just looks so fresh and fun, and I hope more women feel inspired to cut there's because it really doesn't matter. I know it take a long time to grow back, but it does grow back. It's just hair, and you can pull of anything if you're confident.

4:02 buzz cut?! No hair?!?! *x files theme plays*

Kaylin! You have one of the beautiful smiles I have ever seen!

buzz cut? the picture they show for that girl is nothing close it looks great wtf

My dad took me to a barber shop. I asked for shoulder length. I got my hair cut to right below my EAR. I cried for 2 hours straight,and my mom was absolutely pissed. I'm still growing my hair out now.

Two days before prom I went in to get a trim cause I hadn't had my hair cut in a rediculous amount of time and needed it. We go in and I'm talking to the lady who's going to cut my hair and we agree on an inch and keeping the layers, really simple I've gotten it a million times. My hair was to about the bottom of my shoulder blades (this will be important to know in a minute). So I take off my glasses, she spins me around and starts talking about how she's used to cutting curly hair cause her daughters have it so this will be no big deal. I'm sitting there really confident and I close my eyes because what else am I going to do when all there is to look at is a wall. So some time passes and she says she's done, turns me to the mirror and gives me my glasses. The hair around my face was up to my chin. The hair in the back looked like it wasn't touched. So I'm already internally freaking out. So I'm very nice about it and I'm like can we shorten up the back so it's more of a smooth transition. So she starts cutting and then I realize she isn't cutting the back, she's cutting the middle and it's now shorter than the front and back. So I wait for her to say she's done because I'm just freaking out more now. So we get out of there as fast as we can and as we get to the car I start showing how freaked out I am. So my dad and I go get my sister and mom from the book store and I'm crying and my mom and sister keep telling me it's fine it's not that bad and I clearly don't believe them. So my mom has me wash and straighten it to see if that makes it any better, no surprise it's only worse. Next day (day before prom) we call to see who's working that day and it's someone else and the lady who cut my hair and I said hell no we'll go to the other store. We go to the other store, I start crying to the manager cause it's the day before prom and this lady ruined my hair. She takes a bunch of pictures to send in, fixes it for free and gives me a coupon for a free haircut. The original salon is no longer open.

When I was 7, I got a pixie cut. As soon as I walked out, someone told me I was a beautiful little boy.

Right now I'm in the process of growing out a pixie cut. I thought it would look great....turns out I'm not someone who can pull it off...

I told the haircut lady that I wanted a trim and the next thing I knew was that my hair was gone it was a little below my shoulder and the worse part was that before my hair was past my waist 😭😭😭

I got gum in my hair and I got a haircut. I had a dora the explorer haircut forever! I'm glad that my hair grew now.

One time I tried to cut my own hair (I was like 5) so I took a pair of scissors and just snipped off a patch of hair at the top. I had to wear a headscarf to church for a while hahahaha

I had hair down to my boobs. Asked for a trim and came out with my hair right at my shoulders.

Bruh once I went to this children salon and I was so angry cus I was "too old" and they had these crazy rides and I ended up staying an hour AFTER my haircut just so I could finish *the bee movie* I was a gift to the world

She said it looked like a buzz cut, she looks so adorable with that haircut, I love it😂❤️

I feel like the short haircut girls hair was adorable? Like that is legitimately cute. Doesn't diminish her horror over it of course, but it was cute.

One time I went to Cost Cutters to trim my bangs. Yeah, it didn't end well. My bangs looked wavy and uneven. After that I grew out my bangs and haven't had bangs since

sorry girl but....a bob isn't a buzz cut xD

Once when I was in fifth grade I wanted a bob. So I went into the salon and someone calls me over to sit in one of the chairs. She washes my hair and start cutting it and everything was going fine. She finished cutting my hair an it looked great but I wasn’t really able to see it in the mirror because she quickly rushed me to where my dad was. He payed and it isn’t until after I get home and I’m really able to look at it that I notice one side of my hair is an inch shorter thank the other side. For some reason I didn’t tell my dad so we never went back in to fix it so I eventually just grew my hair out until it wasn’t noticeable.

They are all so beautiful

When I was about 14, I wanted to try out short hair again (I had short haircuts as a child and hated them, but whatever) so I went to the hairdresser's with a picture out of a magazine that showed a cute layered short cut (even with the steps and pictures how to get there, because the magazine featured a story about a girl who got this haircut): Well, instead of layering anything,, the hairdresser just cut my hair short somewehere at the middle of my ears; I looked like freaking Prince Ironheart!!!!! Since my hair grows really slowly, this was a long and painfull journey back to long hair again. Since then, I had hairdressers just cut my tips or put some layers in, but I think I haven't been to a hair saloon in about 7 years - I cut them myself, if this goes wrong, at least I am the one to blame...

All the barbers in my town ignore everything I️ day and cut my hair the way *they* want to which is super-short, but the last straw is when I️ went to one and said “I️ only want a a little off the top but make the sides” and then he cut me off and said “No I️ do I️t this way”, and that’s why I️ don’t go the barbers in my town anymore

When I was like 3 I cut my bangs really short and then I thought I would get in trouble so I tried to tape them back on lol

4:30 When she said she got a perm I was like 'NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOO DONT DO THAT YOU'LL WRECK YOUR HAIR AND HAVE A FUZZ BALL OF FLOOFY MESS FOR HAIR FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE NOOO 😣😣😣😭😭😭' XD (I reacted like that because when my mum was twenty-something she got a perm and she still has it *_27 YEARS LATER!!!_* Except, of course, it's waaaaaaay worse now... All dry and fuzzy... She might as well have a long, fuzzy afro that sticks down XD

For the summer of going from 7-8th grade I thought it would be a great idea to make a change in my life and cut my hair. (Spoiler: it wasn’t) I found a picture online of a women with hair down to about her collar bone and said that I wanted that hair cut. At the time, my hair was down almost to my BUTT and I hadn’t gotten such a “short” hair cut since I was three and my mom had got me a bowl cut. When we went to the stylist, I asked if I had enough hair to donate, and she told me no. When she took off the initial amount of hair, it was a little longer than what I had wanted. So she washed my hair and told me she was going to make it less blunt looking. I agreed. Bad decision. She lied. She took my hair from collar bone length up to my chin, and u fee cut me so much that more than a year later, the underneath of my hair still isn’t more than an inch long! The worst part is she knew she f-ed up and decided to curl it to try to make it look better, which worked, but unfortunately I didn’t know how to curl my hair and once I slept on it I looked like blonde Dora. I cried for a week, and when 8th grade came, I was so embarrassed that I would hide behind my taller friends and avoid people. Still growing it out, even though the stylist said “it will only take 2 weeks” smh

I went to the barber about 6 months after I shaved my head and asked him to keep most of the length on the top but cut the back and sides to a fade style, which I thought was a very normal request. He kinda laughed at me, like "little lady doesn't know what she wants. I know what she really wants!" and I walked out $40 poorer with nothing cut except for a bald rectangle at the top of my neck. It was a very similar style to my grandma but she wouldn't pay that much. I hated it so much!

*watches right before going to get hair cut*

Omg the Belgian scream was hilarious 😂 😂

Always a disaster when you cut your in hair, usually even worse when you dad does it 😂😂

That’s the problem She went to supercuts

i accidentally cut layers in my hair like three days ago...help it looks bad

My older brother threw toys in my hair and they got stuck so I had to cut all of my front hair like a boy and cover it up with loose hair from the back 😂😂 at least it's growing

My hair horror story: When I was in 2nd grade there was a really bad case of head lice going around my year and I unfortunately caught them so my mum was trying for hours one Saturday to get them out of my hair. Now my hair was really long and I had only ever gotten trims before so my hair was down to my bum. My mum used to work at a hair salon as her Saturday job when she was in college so when she got really frustrated when the head lice wouldn't come out she told me that she used to work in a hairdressers and she would cut my hair. I thought she knew what she was doing but she then proceeded to put my hair into a ponytail and cut my ponytail off. The only problem was was that when the ponytail was cut it was really short (up to my ears) and really uneven so my mum took me to the ONLY hairdresser that was open on a Sunday and told her to fix my hair but the girl at the hairdressers cut all of my hair into a REALLY short pixie. My hair then took 2 years so grow to the same length again and after that I never let my mum touch my hair.

Eeeeek bad bangs should be a crime

Emily’s hair was cute!!! I would love that!!!!

I realte to the highschool knot story so much 😭😂 but thank god my mom was able to get my knot out. Ever since i was little she’s always come thru 😄

Are you kidding me?! Emily’s hair was so cute! She looks so cute!

I don't actually have any memories of bad haircuts I've gotten, but my hair is fairly thin and mostly straight. I've only ever gotten my hair cut at places like Great Clips, but they've all been okay. The last time I got it cut, I showed the lady the picture that I thought I wanted, and she made it better than the fuckin picture. My brother on the other hand.... One time the person cutting his hair cut his ear, and managed to give him something close to a bowl cut. Another time, he didnt want his hair cut, but our parents told him he either needed to take care of it or get it cut. As a joke, I offered to cut it for him. Fast forward 15 minutes of him refusing to sit down or stand still, he walked away with a decent hair cut. The next time he needed a haircut, Mom offered to pay me $5 to do it. Once again, he refused to sit down or stand still, but this time he left before I was done. It hadn't even been 7 minutes. It wasn't horrible, but i was enough to convince him to let my mom shave it to fix it. Apparently, she had expected this outcome, and she was mostly just paying me to do was to make it look bad enough for him to let someone fix it. If I happened to make it decent, then it would just be a win-win.

I'm sitting here crying because I was trying to give myself bangs and had a panic attack halfway and now I just have awful short bits that go to my jaw right in the front

ill never forget, i was like in 4th grade and my mom took me to get a trim. So, im getting my hair done in the chair, and my mom is in the waiting area and her chair is facing away from me, so she couldnt see what was happening either. when i was done, the lady spun me around, and i saw that she had given me a full blow cut and super choppy layers. my hair was extremely short, and i was so sad. it took me like three to four years to grow them out.

ok wait but was that supposed to be Ella in 5th grade???

So my mom always like to have my hair short an I don’t I hate it on me. So one year she lets me grow my hair out and it was time for me to get a trim. I go to the salon and I say “hey I’m here to get a trim. Don’t cut more than an inch of.” And the lady goes I got you! So she goes and chopped so much hair off and gave me bangs!! I wasn’t mad abt the bangs cuz they were cut but I had extremely short hair and I cried 😂

“i almost had a buzzcut” *has hair at the shoulders*

looking back I don't think any of my haircuts were really *that* bad, but it's the worst feeling when you ask for something in a hairsalon and gets something completely different

I feel like none of their haircuts look *that* bad, but if it's not what you want then it'll always seem worse than it does to other people. So glad I just buzz my hair myself now ✌️

Me around 7 years old. My dad. An actual bowl and a pair of scissors. Yeaaaah....

When I was in elementary, I had a bad case of lice that lasted for about a year. The medication wasn't working (the lice became mutants and literally Chuck Norrised their way through the treatments) so my mom was like, "guess we gotta cut it now." So she and her friend went ham on my hair, I could see them busting out a ruler, measuring the length of my hair, parting it every which way, casting worried glances to each other, snipping ... The end result left me with something that looked like our cats hacked up. On the bright side, I've had bangs since!

The beginning is a M O O D

When I was seven I had bangs and i taught that people who didn’t have bangs just cut theirs off so I went off to my kitchen to go find some scissors (my parents were asleep) but i couldn’t find any so i went into my playroom and found some zig zag scissors in my art drawer. So I went into the bathroom and cut as close to my hairline as possible, then I put the hair that I cut off on top of my blonde barbies head thinking that if my parents couldn’t see the hair they wouldn’t be able to tell that I cut it. So I was just watching some scooby do when my mam walks in and screams “CARA WHY IS THERE HAIR IN THE SINK” to which I respond with “oh the neighbors cat came in and threw up a hair ball!” Then she saw my zig zag bangs and brought me straight to the hairdressers 😂

Curly hair struggles are real. 😂

your hair was SO cute!!!!!

Lol same whenever I have a knot of tangled hair I just cut it off. Also I wanna get a perm too
