Today, while getting my hair done, I was annoyed that the beautician was not paying attention while straightening my hair. After asking her three times to watch what she was doing, I grabbed the iron and said "let me do it, you're going to burn me!". I then burned two layers of skin off my ear. FML

How much attention does it require to hold something and slowly pull down?

#57 yeah because a bad straightening will ruin your life... all you have to do is tell the stylist what you want. she can take care of it from there. its not rocket science.

there is a reason why you're the customer, no?

i understand where you're coming from. I was having my hair straightened one day and the hairdresser was yakking away on the phone and I was certain she was gonna burn me but I didn't say anything... And she burned my forehead and my ear >.> I definitely wouldn't have tried to do it myself. I just would've asked her to stop until she could give her attention to me. Sucks about your ear :(

Oh yeah why would someone who does this stuff for a living be worse at this than you.

See, I can understand getting frustrated if a stylist isn't doing your hair the way you asked, or if they're being careless, especially if you've mentioned it several times and they haven't done anything about it. A good stylist will make sure you're comfortable and will work with what you want. But when you GRAB something out of their hand, and make a snooty comment like, "I'll do it myself!", then you definitely deserved to get your ear burned off.

I'm more curious how you have more than one layer of skin... I mean, fat folds or something on the ear would be pretty weird... unless you mean you burned through to the dermis :-P

If you have a problem with her buy your own straighter and do it at home! I barely even use a mirror while straightening my hair. I wander around (as far as the cord will allow) and talk to people and I don't think I have ever burned myself.

#62 and #63 -- if the hairdresser left the iron on one part of the hair too long and burned it, or did it wrong and made a crease, or did burn her skin somewhere... Then yes, it could. If expecting the person I'm paying for service to actually pay attention to the job they are doing makes me a bitch, then fine, I'll accept the label. It's my money and my hair.

Future post by OP: I kept telling my boyfriend to be better in bed and finally I just pulled his dick out of me and masturbated. My nail sliced my clit off. FML
