False eyelash disasters are also prevalent. Sometimes people apply false lashes that are too long or thick for their eyes, making them look very unnatural. And if not applied correctly, they can start to peel off during the day, which is really embarrassing.
Well, I once tried a new hair dye from a brand that was highly recommended on BuzzFeed. But it turned my hair into a strange orange color instead of the nice blonde it was supposed to be. It took me months to fix it.
Bad waxing experiences are common. For example, at some beach - side beauty places, the wax used is too hot or not of good quality. It can lead to severe burns on the skin. People end up with red, painful patches and sometimes even permanent scarring.
A common one is over - processing. If too much keratin is applied or left on for too long, it can make the hair look dull and lifeless instead of shiny and smooth. For example, I know someone who left the keratin treatment on for a bit longer than recommended, and her hair ended up looking flat and greasy for weeks.
There are also horror stories related to waxing. Some salons don't clean their equipment properly. A woman I know got an infection after getting a bikini wax at a not - so - clean salon. The area became red, swollen and painful. It was a really unpleasant experience and she had to see a doctor to get antibiotics.
One common one is bad haircuts. People see a trendy haircut on BuzzFeed and go to their stylist. But the stylist either misinterprets it or doesn't have the skills to pull it off. Another is makeup disasters like the wrong foundation shade that makes you look like a ghost or a clown. And then there are skin problems from using products that are not suitable for your skin type, like a super - drying face wash for people with dry skin.
Bad product reactions are quite common. Like when a person tries a new beauty product and has an allergic reaction, such as swelling or hives.
One horror story could be about a bad reaction to a new skincare product. Maybe someone used a trendy new face cream and ended up with a severe rash all over their face. It was itchy and red, and they had to go to the doctor to get it treated.
Sure. One horror story is about a student who accidentally dyed a client's hair bright green instead of the intended blonde. It was a complete disaster as the client was furious and demanded compensation. The student was scolded badly by the instructors too.
One common type is the wrong product usage. Like using a strong chemical peel without proper training and ending up burning a client's skin.
Many horror stories revolve around beauty pageants in Thailand. There have been reports of unfair judging, with some contestants being pressured to engage in unethical behavior to win. Some contestants have also faced harassment from sponsors or judges. For example, a young girl was told she would win if she went on a date with a certain sponsor. When she refused, she was given very low scores and felt humiliated in the process. This shows the dark side of the beauty industry in Thailand.
