"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."

"My hairstylist left a perm (read: relaxer) in too long. I basically had acid sitting on my head for too long. A chemical burn ate two square inches of my scalp. If I hadn't made my way to the sink before waiting on that nowhere-to-be-seen hack, I would've lost a whole lot more flesh." -- urkomisch via Reddit
