Today, I got my hair dyed at a fancy salon. While the stylist was pulling out the foils in my hair I sat up and started screaming in pain because the hot foils were burning my scalp. All she said was "oh, you're fine". I went back home to find an oozing burn wound on my scalp. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mom came over to visit and permed my hair. Ten minutes after she started, I told her it was burning. She told me to suck it up because it doesn't hurt that badly. I now have scabs all over my scalp, hairline, and nape. FML
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
Today, after spending a week detangling my hair (It took a week because my hands have nerve issues) because it felt like my scalp was glued to my scalp from not being taken care of, I cut it all off. My hair got tangled in the device twice and eventually revealed a burn on my scalp. FML
Today, I came home from a crazy costume party and took a hot shower. When I opened my eyes and saw the water running from my head was bloody, I freaked out and called my friend for help. She had to remind me that for the party, I'd coloured my hair red with washable hair dye. FML
Today, I was getting a haircut. I had my foils in for about 10 minutes when the fire alarm went off. The building then started to fill with smoke and we evacuated. While outside watching the fire being put out, I forgot about my foils. I now have bright bleached yellow and orange hair. FML
Today, I made the decision to lighten my hair from dark brown to blonde. I thought the stylist knew what she was doing, but I ended up with my hair fried off and orange. FML
Today, I dyed my hair. It was all going well, until I forgot I had a head full of product and scratched an itch. I didn't realise my mistake until later, and now have to replace my six-month old sofa because it has a huge stain that alternates from purple to bleach. FML
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 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 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Were the foils actually hot or was it the chemicals they were using that burnt your scalp? This happened to me once when I got my hair straightened. They left the treatment on for too long and I ended up with a very sore scalp and red burn marks on the top of my forehead. Needless to say I didn't go back there again.

if it was a reaction then you can't really sue, but if it was a chemical burn thats pretty serious, get a refund, theaten to sue, i would just for the principal of the thing, because you were not likley to be the only one she did that to and even if you threaten you can get her to pay attention!

So here's what you need to do: First of all go to a doctor and have them confirm the chemical burns IN WRITING and take pictures, as many as you need the more the better. Call the salon and talk to their manager, let them know you're going to report it. Finally, call up your state's board of cosmetology and complain. People like that make a bad name for cosmetologists.

Please make sure you give it a month before you assume everything will be ok. This happened to me. I assumed it would heal. I was WRONG. It was a 3rd degree burn and I had to get 3 reconstructive plastic surgeries, including a skin graft, in order to repair the damage that was done. I now have a 6 inch long scar across the top of my head - permanent cowlick. I understand maybe not all cases will be this extreme...but prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Oh, and above all else - go to a doctor to have it checked out. And, if it is determined to be serious...get a lawyer so you will get your medical expenses covered by the salon... if it gets to that point you won't be caring about the $$$...you'll just be caring about your health and medical bills being covered. TRUST ME.

I hope you called a lawyer before coming online to post about it.
