HAIR SALONS CAN feel like the height of luxury as long as everything goes according to plan, that is.

If you know what you want, your stylist is on the same page as you, and the coffee is free-flowing; sure, what’s not to love?

Well, a lot if the first two elements of that previous sentence are working in opposition to one another.

If you’re one of those people who brings along a photo, stresses what you do and don’t want until you sound vaguely irrational and sit with your heart in your mouth for the entire duration of your visit, it’s likely you’ve been the victim of a scissor-happy stylist in the past.

i have so much social anxiety!!!!!! when i go to salons for haircuts if the hairdresser decides to shave my head bald i wouldn't even have the guts to say no and when they ask me if i like it i'd say "thanks", go home and cry for a month

If you’ve ever left the salon afraid to make eye contact with strangers, wishing desperately for a hat and cursing the day you were born, you will identify with the following 11 tweets.

Take a look at these…

1. When you’re left looking like Courteney Cox in Scream 3.

3. Or this…

"I'm just evening it out" = "I'm cutting it so short you'll look like a Russian POW". #hairdresserFAIL

4. And you know you’ve felt this articular surge of rage.

The more I look at it, the angrier I get #hairdresserfail

5. Not the look he was going for…

8. When buzzing your own head might be your only option.

This lady just absolutely butchered my head. I might as well buzz my head. I look like a complete kned #worsthaircutever

9. We’ve all been that soldier.

Staying home and not coming out until my hair grows back to normal #worsthaircutever

10. Yep, the comparisons are real.

My new haircut honestly looks like I got it from a drunk clown, using safety scissors, in the middle of an earthquake #worsthaircutever

11. There is, but it feels like there isn’t.

Is there anything worse than a bad haircut/colour? 😭
