Today, an incredibly rude woman came in for a hairdressing appointment. I had to put up with being yelled at and called a "clumsy bitch," a "pleb," and other insults for almost half an hour. When I finally managed to finish her hair, instead of tipping me, she spat at my feet and stormed out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to get a haircut. I have a pretty bad case of dandruff, so whenever I get one, a lot of it shows. My hairstylist called to her nearby friend twice, then looked at my hair and said, "Blech" under her breath. I got glares when I walked out. FML
Today, I went to get a haircut. Who shows up not 5 minutes later to also get a haircut? My obnoxious, bully of a boss. She started chatting with me across the salon the entire time. There was no way to get out of the conversation. FML
Today, a client refused to pay for the nails I spent nearly three hours doing, because apparently it's her birthday and "you don't pay for birthday nails." She refused to pay, and we locked her inside the salon. She threw a bitch fit and rolled on the ground like a worm, kicking and screaming until the cops arrived. FML
Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML
Today, someone tried to open the stall I was in, and I instinctively screamed. I was yelled at and called, "incredibly rude and disrespectful." The lady then waited for me to come out so she could, "kick my ass." FML
Today, as I was getting my nails done at a salon, the owner pulled my head back against the chair in front of all the customers and began to tweeze my eyebrows. When I exclaimed that I didn't pay for that service, she replied, "I don't care. This needs done." FML
Today, a customer asked a question I couldn’t answer. I asked if she would wait while I consulted someone else, but she spat in my face and stormed off. My manager saw, wrote me up for refusing to help, and gave the woman a gift card for her troubles. FML
Today, at the café I work at, I was yelled at by a woman because the drinks and food she ordered were "taking too long". Before I had the chance to get a word in, she stormed out and said she would never come back. I didn't get the chance to inform her that she hadn't ordered yet. FML
Today, a crazy woman grabbed my hair and mentioned how lovely it was. She then asked when I would donate it. I told her I didn't want to, at which point she started yelling that she was going to get some scissors and cut it all off to teach me a lesson. FML
Today, I was serving an incredibly rude woman at work. The ladder I had used to get her two pairs of shoes came crashing down, and hit my face and neck. She only bought one pair, and ten minutes later returned them after, complaining they were too expensive. FML

Should've shaved her head. Or at least part of it.

And the next time she comes in... "Oopsy! Was that Nair? I thought it was conditioner! Haha! Silly me!"

You should've kicked her ungrateful ass out.

That is assault with a deadly weapon to be exact. Because it's bodily fluids.

Whoa! That's unacceptable no matter who you are. Use the 'Hair-B-Gone' next time.

Very professional OP. I would not have tolerated that client's shitty attitude.

That's why you get a job as a lifeguard. The pay sucks and you only get to work a little more than three months a year, but you have the power to kick the assholes out!

And you didn't shave a little bald spot in the back of her swelled head? Seriously.

You probably kept hitting her ear with the comb or the brush. That's annoying as ****, you clumsy pleb! I once had a hairdresser of that to me and I would have spit on her shoes if she wasn't also my girlfriend at the time.

Can you say "asshole"... I doubt you were in OP's chair getting your hair done to go ahead and jump to those conclusions.

Asshole. See, I can say it. I was just presenting one plausible scenario where the OP could have pissed off the customer so much. Until that has happened to you, you need to STFU. A clumsy hairdresser can make a haircut into a painful and annoying process.

I do agree with #3, it is something you have to deal with when dealing in customer service. One way you can deal with them is to tell them if they do not like what you do, they are free to leave and go somewhere else. You do not need to deal with the harassment, and yes it is, from this customer. Just be nice, but that doesn't mean you have to bend over and take it.
