Crazy funny hair stories
February 12, 2009
I am collecting your hair stories to post on my site. I am looking for your funniest or craziest hair stories to share with my readers. Everyone has at least one special hair story that is worth sharing a good laugh. These will be posted as anonymous stories to keep your reputation intact. The story can be about a crazy stylist you had or some wacky hairstyle you thought would be great but instead was scary and took awhile to grow out. A great haircut your mother gave you as a kid and tried to pass it off as the latest style. I know some of you have perm stories. Let’s hear them. This is my little way to bring some humor back during this time of stress and media freak out.
The story can also be about something you did to yourself such as the time I decided to tint my own lashes. I was too impatient to wait for my co-worker to do it for me when she had time so I decided to just do it before bed one night. I mixed the tint and slapped it on one eye with the other one open to see. As I applied my other eye by feel and hoped I got all the lashes, then without thinking I opened my eyes to make sure. Yes it burned a bit, but I was on a mission. I was on such a rampage to finish; I forgot a few steps, such as covering around my eye with a protective cream. I relaxed on my bed for 10 mins trying to “meditate” while my eyes were burning (because I opened them) through the processing time. I could feel the tears roll down my face but I knew it would be over soon. I finally rinsed them off and what a sight. I did have nice black lashes! Along with black streams stained down my cheeks and raccoon eyes. It took two days to come off even after scrubbing with everything from make-up remover to comet cleaning powder. So not only did I have black eyes, my skin was raw. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to reading all your great stories!

Way back in the early 1980′s my friend Kathy & I figured out that a home-perm and a bottle of peppermint schnapps was way cheaper than a professional perm (the required hair style for 1983!). We did it often enough to call it a tradition… 1 boxed perm & a bottle of schnapps to go, please!
One of these home perm-parties got a little out of hand and we quickly managed to get ourselves very drunk, losing track of time & over-processing the perm by A LOT!! What was supposed to be my fabulous waterfall bangs…broke off at the hairline…in FRONT!!!
That lovely style took quite a while to grow out!

I was in Italy, and wanted a nice cut and straighten for my birthday. I found a picture and explained what I wanted, but the stylist thought he knew everything. He told me that straightening my curly hair was a bad idea because of the humidity. (even though I had straightened my hair several times before and it was fine) So after thining out about half of my hair, he cut it and then used a blow dryer to frizz out the top and a straightener to smooth the bottom. I looked like a llama with a mullet!!!!! I told him I didn’t like it, which really offended him so he kept going on about how he made a huge mistake and it was all his fault, but I knew he was really mad, because he never actually apologized. He asked what I wanted, and I told him to get it it wet, put in a little gel and I would scrunch it and go, like I usually do. He argued with me for about 20 minutes that I would catch a cold (it was about 90 degrees out) until another lady spoke up and told him that it’s normal in America to go out with wet hair. At that point I just wanted to get out of there, so I paid and left, and tried not to cry. I got home and bawled, but with the help of my sister, managed to get it decent looking. I swear he cut it like a mullet!!!! I couldn’t put it in bun for weeks because of all the short layers. In the end, I only learned where the italian women got all their crazy bad hairstyles from.

I asked a man what number guard he wanted to use on his hair. When he told me use whatever..just cut it short. I did a number three fade which looked really nice. He went absolutely ape on me. He started ranting that he looked like a little boy (he wanted hair left on his ears). I was so upset the rest of the day.
