One horror story could be a customer asking for a simple trim but ended up with half of their hair cut off. Maybe the stylist misheard or was just having a really bad day. Another could be getting a chemical treatment that burned the scalp because the product was left on for too long.
Well, I've heard of a situation where a person went to a Dominican hair salon for a curl treatment. The stylist used some unknown product that made the hair turn an odd color and become extremely brittle. It was like the hair was completely damaged and the customer had to cut it all off in the end. There was also a case where a customer got her hair braided too tightly, causing severe pain and even some hair loss at the roots.
One of the worst stories is about a girl who went to a Dominican salon for some highlights. The stylist was inexperienced and instead of creating beautiful highlights, the bleach was left on for too long. Her hair turned a bright orange color that was completely unflattering. The girl was so disappointed and had to go to another salon to try and fix it, which cost her a lot of time and money.
One horror story is when a stylist cut way too much hair off. A girl asked for just a trim of her natural curls but ended up with hair that was several inches shorter. It completely changed her look in a bad way.
One horror story is when a girl asked for a simple brown dye in the salon. But the hairdresser misread the color code and ended up turning her hair bright orange. It was so bad that she had to go to another salon immediately to try and fix it, which cost her a lot more money.
A common one is getting the wrong color. Like someone asking for a blonde shade but getting a yellow - almost white color that looks really unnatural. It can be a total disaster especially if you have an important event coming up.
Sure. A common one is when the stylist doesn't listen. For example, a woman with natural afro - textured hair wanted a simple style that would enhance her curls. But the stylist forced a straightening treatment on her, ruining her curls and leaving her hair damaged.
One 'black salon horror story' could be about a customer getting a bad chemical treatment. For example, a perm that went horribly wrong and ended up burning the scalp. Another might be a stylist who was extremely rude and unprofessional, constantly making negative comments about a client's hair texture.
Here's my salon horror story. I made an appointment for a keratin treatment. The stylist seemed to be in a hurry. They applied the product unevenly. As a result, some parts of my hair were straight and smooth while others were frizzy as ever. My hair was a mess. I tried to complain but they just brushed me off. I had to live with that horrible hair for weeks until I could find someone to fix it.
Sure. Once, a customer came in asking for a 'unicorn' hair color. The stylist was a bit confused at first but then went all out. By the end, the customer's hair was a wild mix of pink, purple, blue and silver. It looked amazing but also really out there. Another time, a little boy got his hair cut and he was so fidgety that in the end, his hair was cut shorter on one side than the other. His mom laughed it off and said it was the new 'asymmetrical' look.
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 horror story could be about getting a really bad nail infection after a visit to the nail salon. Maybe the tools weren't properly sterilized. Another might be a situation where the nail technician was really rough and ended up causing a lot of pain and bleeding while doing the manicure. And there could be cases where the polish used was of such poor quality that it started chipping off almost immediately.
