Woman left shocked after botched haircut at a new salon

A mum who’d wanted to treat herself to a fresh new look after giving birth to her baby son six months ago says she was left ‘in shock’ after seeing what the stylist had done to her hair. Angelica Miller, 30, says she paid £20.60 ($25) for her haircut, £4.10 ($5) of which was a tip, and was left ‘wanting to cry’ after seeing the finished result.

Shortly after her disastrous appointment, the new mum, from Phoenix US, filmed herself in her car while parked outside the salon. In the video, she expressed dismay over her botched haircut and feared there was ‘no way’ to fix it.

Disappointed Angelica uploaded the video to TikTok once she got home, alongside a clip of her in the hairdresser’s chair.

Addressing followers in her vid, distraught Angelica said: “This s*** is bad, how do I come back from this? I’m about to cry…what the f*** is this? There’s no way for me to fix this side.”

Her fellow TikTok users were able to see the funny side, with one person commenting: “Lmao! I’m sorry but she made you look like Moe, from the Three Stooges! Please don’t try to find any more hair ‘hacks’. That’s exactly what she gave you!” [sic]

Another gasped: “The way I just busted out laughing omg I’m sorry I don’t mean to laugh this hard.”

A third person expressed astonishment that Angelica had actually paid for the haircut, which a fourth described as a ‘lawsuit’.

Recalling the disastrous appointment, Angelica said: “I froze for a second, I couldn’t believe it. Halfway through I asked the stylist to stop cutting my hair because I noticed that the sides were uneven.

“But she proceeded with trying to cut the other side down to match the shorter side. I told her I would like to pay and leave. I was in shock and literally so embarrassed so I walked out after paying but whilst sitting in my car making the video, I got really upset. After that, I went back inside and told her this haircut was unacceptable and that I would like a refund.”

She added: “I was truly discouraged and felt so low after that. I didn’t understand how it could turn out so bad. It wasn’t until I went home and styled it, that I felt a little bit better.

“I had shown the stylist a picture, and she assured me that we could achieve this style but that due to my hair being longer, it wouldn’t lay flat for a couple of days or until I washed it. I was not prepared for what was to come.”

Thankfully, Angelica was able to get £16.50 ($20) back after asking for a refund. Plenty of people also came forward with advice after she posted her vid, and another stylist has since been able to fix the damage.

According to Angelica: “I had it fixed by an independent stylist name Tarajay, she reached out and helped me for free. She couldn’t believe how the lady cut my hair. She said after seeing the video it looked worse in person.”

Revealing she hasn’t been in touch with the original hairdresser, Angelica continued: “I would hate to be the one to affect someone’s livelihood, although she really did me wrong but you know, karma.

“I feel so much better now and my confidence has skyrocketed since getting my hair fixed. The big chop feels so freeing!”
