"The people who make the DIY waxing kits need to burn in hell. I decided last minute that I was going to save a few dollars and use the DIY wax right before my wedding/honeymoon. I tried the patch on my ankle and had no problems, so I cancelled my appointment and the night before (because I wanted to be fresh for as long as possible for the honeymoon) I started trying to use the wax kit.

Well, let me tell you: I got one leg and half my vag done and was so tired and sweaty and teary-eyed that I gave up. But guess what? The skin was too sensitive and I couldn't finish waxing my vag. I ended up shaving my other leg and calling it a night.

The next day I had no time to finish the job, so on our wedding night my husband 'unwrapped' me and was so startled that we spent about 10 minutes laughing hysterically before sexy times commenced." -- TailoredChaos via Reddit

"I cut and dyed my own hair for ten years. Then, before my wedding, friends encouraged me to treat myself and go to a salon. So three days before the wedding, I went in for a bit of a trim. I had shaved my head eight months earlier and my hair was nicely starting to grow back at that point."

"The stylist didn't listen to me. She promised me she was a professional and could do something amazing with the little bit of hair I had. Then she gave me a mullet. Like 1970s hockey hair. THREE DAYS BEFORE MY WEDDING. When all I asked for was a trim. I quietly paid the $60 and ran to my car. I spent the next twenty minutes crying on the steering wheel and ended up at a salon a few blocks over. The woman there fixed it as best she could, free of charge.

I wore a wig to the wedding." -- Renfurly via Reddit

"I used duct tape to hold my wedding dress up, then after three hours of having it on, I ripped it off, taking two layers of flesh with it and spending my honeymoon with big bandages under each arm. Totally not my best moment."

"I was 20 years old and living at home with naturally brown/black hair. I went to my BFF in cosmetology school and went blonde. Not just blonde, Jayne Mansfield platinum blonde! My dad went ballistic! So much so, that we went and dyed my hair back dark ... on the same day! You guessed it! Major scalp burn! I wound up with scabs all over my scalp. A week later my hair started turning green! Never again ... at least until I turned 45."

"I went last week and asked for a basic "1 inch off, layers, bangs," type deal. I don't know what the hell happened, but by the end I looked like a late 1980s Glenn Danzig. The stylist was also the most boring person I've ever met.

Me: Sooooo ... weekend plans?
Her: Just work as usual.
Me: Oh, I bet it would be nice if they gave you a weekend off here and there, right?
Her: No, I don't do anything fun. I don't waste my money.
Me: Oh ...
Silence for rest of haircutting
Then ... Danzig hair."
