The only thing worse than getting a bad haircut is paying thousands of dollars for that terrible hairdo. This person, u/Hot_Door7211, found themself in that exact situation after paying a cool two grand for their hairstyle!

Until you have a reliable stylist, looking for the best place to get your hair styled can take some time. You never know if the stylist will do a good job or not until after they've already clipped your hair. And of course, it's not like you can glue the hair back on once your stylist has snipped off a few more inches than you intended. You just have to live with the results for a few months, no matter what. 

This person paid a staggering $2,000 to get extensions put in their hair, but they were super unhappy with the results. So this person made some reviews about their experience, only for the whole thing to spiral out of control. 

One commenter suggested the original poster should make some Tiktoks about their experience. This is quickly becoming the norm! It seems like making a viral TikTok about your experience at a company is the new 1-star Yelp review. This person actually shared photos of their haircut, but Reddit mods took them down. If they do eventually make a video about their experience, they'll be free to share all the photos they want… not that the salon would take that decision lightly. 

Next up, this person's coworkers can't agree if a joke about one coworker's wife went too far or not.

    English is my second language, so please bear with me. So, a few months ago, I got hair extensions put in and they came out HORRIBLE. The stylist refused to fix it, and I was left pretty feeling defeated since I dropped 2k on everything.

    About a week ago, my partner suggested I posted my. experience on Reddit to get different perspectives. The hair salon SAW and sent me a cease and desist email.

    I replied. Saying I would happily drop everything if they apologized for how they left my hair. They ignored my reply, so of course I posted their cease and desist on Reddit.

    They got I and called the cops on me in an effort to intimidate me. What's funny is that their reaction brought even more attention to their crappy work/customer service now over 2k people have seen how they handle conflict AND how bad the work was.

    It now seems like they are trying to do damage control by having their friends leave google reviews as a bunch of 5 star reviews have popped up from profiles with only that one review

    like this is why I get so nervous ever trying to find new hairstylists or other estheticians because I'm worried about bad results, being out the money, and having no recourse but for nature to regrow my hair or nails and having to eat that cost while beating myself up for my choices.

    I sincerely hope that this makes them think during every single appointment now, but I doubt it with the way they went out of their way to find new ways to blame the victim I mean customer.

    MaschMana Say it with me, y'all... Police are not anybody's personal intimidation or score- settling force. They are not the brood squad as much as entitled people want them to be.
