"In high school, my mother insisted that salons were a waste of money and insisted I get my hair cut at Wal-Mart. When I was an awkward 15-year-old, I asked for a sleek, razored, angled bob. I got a blunt page boy. This was made even worse because I have very thick hair and it just stuck out in an awkward triangle. I wore my hair in stumpy pigtails for months after. I paid for my own haircuts after that." -- mehrie via Reddit

We've all had our fair share of beauty nightmares: Your stylist adds five inches to your "trim," the lady waxing you reveals it's her first day on the job, something that shouldn't be burning is definitely burning ... Sometimes you need to read an especially cringe-worthy beauty horror story to put your bad haircut or botched manicure in perspective. Misery does love company, after all. From unintentional mullets to traumatizing chemical burns, women far and wide (including our very own Total Beauty Facebook fans) have experienced it all. Here's to hoping none of these salon nightmares or DIY disasters happen to you.
