I once got cheap hair extensions. They smelled really bad, like chemicals. And after a while, they got all tangled up. It took me hours to try and untangle them, but in the end, I just had to throw them away. I learned not to go for the cheapest option next time.
One horror story is when the hair extensions were not properly attached. They started falling out during an important event. It was so embarrassing as strands were all over my clothes. I had paid a lot for those extensions too.
Color mismatch is a common problem. You think you're getting extensions that will blend well with your hair, but often they turn out to be a completely different color. Another is poor quality. Cheap extensions can be made of bad materials that tangle easily or smell bad.
One Monat hair horror story I know is about a girl who used Monat shampoo. Her hair became extremely dry and brittle. It was so bad that her hair started breaking off easily. She thought Monat would improve her hair health, but it turned out the opposite. It took her a long time to recover her hair's condition with a lot of deep conditioning treatments and using other reliable hair products.
Well, I once had an ingrown hair on my leg. It was so painful and swollen. It looked like a big, angry red bump. I thought it was just a normal pimple at first, but as it got worse, I realized it was an ingrown hair. I tried to tweeze it out myself, which was a huge mistake. It got even more inflamed and took weeks to heal.
I once heard a loc extension horror story where a girl got really cheap loc extensions. After a few days, they started to smell really bad. It turned out that the hair used was of very low quality and probably not properly cleaned before being made into extensions.
One horror story is when the lash extensions were glued together. It made the eyes look really strange and clumpy. It was so bad that the person had to have them removed immediately.
One horror story is when the eyelash extensions were glued to the skin instead of just the lashes. It was extremely painful to remove and caused redness and irritation around the eyes.
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.
Well, one horror story is when someone used Splat hair dye and their hair turned out a completely different color than expected. Instead of a nice purple, it was a muddy brownish - purple. It looked awful and took multiple washes to fade it a bit.
One horror story is when a client asked for just a trim, like an inch off. But the hair stylist got distracted and cut off like 5 inches. The client was in shock and almost cried right there in the salon.
I had lash extensions for a special occasion. But within a day, they started falling out in clumps. It looked so patchy and hideous. I think the glue wasn't applied properly. It was really embarrassing, especially since I had paid a good amount for them.
