Today, I thought I would treat myself to a shave and a haircut at a proper barber, instead of just a haircut at Supercuts. After many "Oops", "Sorry", even an "Oh dear", I left with no hair cut, and blood streaming from multiple slices in my face from the shave. I think one might need stitches. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my barber repeatedly threatened to stab me with scissors while I was getting my hair cut. FML
Today, I went to the hairdresser on a spur of the moment decision to get a quick wash and cut. Forty-five painful minutes and $180 later, I honestly don't know if anything was actually done to my hair. FML
Today, I decided to save a few bucks and let my mother cut my hair. I then had to wait in the hospital for attention due to the fact that she cut the tip of my ear off. FML
Today, I went to get my hair done. The hairdresser managed to catch my eyebrow piercing in his comb and almost rip it out. I now look like I have a gunshot wound on the upper right hand side of my face. I'm getting married in a matter of hours, and I still had to pay £100 for the hair cut. FML
Today, I was on my way to meet my partner's parents for the first time. Although I was in a rush, I managed to hop into the shower and shave. I now have a cut on my upper lip. I'm a woman. FML
Today, I was shaving my underarms, when I heard a noise. I quickly turned my head to see what it was and got the razor caught in my hair. I'm now sporting a very attractive bald patch. FML
Today, I tried to use a fancy new hairstyling tool and ended up getting my hair tangled in it. I had to cut a chunk of my hair off to free myself. FML
Today, I went to the hair salon to get a fresh trim before receiving my master's diploma. The hairdresser managed to shave off half my eyebrow. FML
Today, I got a haircut. I wanted three inches cut off. When the lady finished, she had cut off everything but three inches of my hair. FML
Today, I decided to conquer my fear of blades, and tried shaving my legs with a razor. I sat on the side of my bathtub and wet my legs, but some of the water splashed. I slipped on it and fell back, hitting my head on the tile wall and slicing my leg open at the same time. FML

This is one of the few cases in which I would actually suggest a lawsuit. I hope they didn't try to make you pay for that.

O.P. here...No lawsuits, this is Canada where we can accept that some accidents happen...but I do like the suggestion of Canadian World Domination! It was a barber shop. It had the striped pole outside, a barber school certificate on the wall, a shave on the price list, and all the instruments out on the table. I did this years ago and it was good. The hot towel at the end, a really close shave. Nice. This time, not so good. When I got home I counted 6 nicks, and some peeled skin. More blood than danger though, and no stitches needed. I did NOT pay him, but I did rage at him and I left before the shave was finished.

Thank you for updating us op, I'm glad you didn't pay for that shave. Usually barbers do a pretty good job, shame that you got the one that gives the others a bad name!

actually, 26 barbers get a separate license from cosmetologists which requires even more training. I have no idea how this guy passed school.

there may be a chance that barber was drunk. I work in a hair salon and have had to fix a couple drunken barber cuts for people.

Could it have been a trainee? Doesn't excuse the lack of an apology but may explain why he was so inept?

Sweeney is not impressed with Toby. Guarantee he had to write on the blackboard "I do not apologize and I go for the throat next time" over a million times while Mrs. Lovette argues he's "being too hard on the boy".

Hopefully they didn't make you pay for doing such a terrible job because that is ridiculous.

Ydi for not saying STOP

Actually, I did say stop. The shave was just over half done when I got out of the chair, after a couple warnings to the guy. You just don't expect a professional to continue to be so bad after the first slip.
