This isn't a salon horror story, but I had to share it, especially after I saw the post about the 'stache.
Once when I was a kid, in the late '60s, my mother was really depressed and my father was trying to cheer her up. He shaved off half his moustache. He went in and was talking to her then and after a while he decided to run to 7-11 for ice cream or something.
So there he is in 7-11 wondering why every one is staring at him. He said some kids were pointing. And a couple of people were snickering. He was just dumbfounded. He has a mannerism when he's perplexed, he grasps his nose and pulls down over his lip. When he did that he felt the half mustache. He paid for his purchases with one hand over his mouth.
I think my mother was more tickled by that than by simply seeing him with his mustache like that.
I splurged once in my senior year of high school and got my hair dyed a medium blond. I was on the swim team. Needless to say, it turned an ickky green! Thankfully, it was grown out enough to cut in time for the prom!<span></span>
I should rename this thread "home" salon horror stories! LOL!
I never cut my ex-husband's hair, he wouldn't let me, but for some reason he felt comfortable enough to let me trim his moustache. He was in the military then, so appearance was important. So he asks me to trim the 'stache, and I go at it. A little too enthusiastically. Basically he ends up with a Hitler moustache by the time I am done. Needless to say, he was none too pleased, and my hysterical laughing probably didn't help much either. LOL
LOL that is funny. I do cut my husband's hair since he shaves it all right off so that is pretty easy. But once I did cut it funky up around his ear. Good thing it grew back in two days. I could not stop laughing but he was not happy .
Oh dear Host_Shelby! What is it with us women wanting to cut our hubby's hair? I convinced my hubby of the same except he already HAS short hair, so I had to use clippers on the back. I had the guard off to shave his neck and he move quickly and I put a huge bald spot in the back of his head! Was a huge UhOh moment!
What a great topic! I don't have a story from a salon I can think of right off hand, but it reminds me of the time I convinced my husband I could cut his hair. I kept getting the back uneven, and he had long hair, past his shoulders. So I kept trying to even it out...by the time I was done it was military short!
Ever been to a salon, and the hairdresser, while cutting your hair, stops suddenly and says "Uh oh?" Ever gone to get a manicure and the person doing the manicure obviously has had a bad day and is taking it out on your poor fingers? From the uh ohs to bad customer service, vent your salon horror stories here!
