Today, I got offered a free $80 salon haircut by a girl I've liked for awhile. Thinking this was my chance to get close to her, I accepted, only to find out it was for a class her boyfriend was teaching. He was the one cutting my hair. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a haircut at a fancy salon and made small talk with the stylist. While she washed my hair, I said, “Wow, this is better than my girlfriend does it.” She replied, “That’s because I’m a professional. Also, I’m your girlfriend’s cousin.” FML
Today, I got the haircut I've been wanting for ages. I then called my girlfriend of two years and asked what she would do if I got a haircut. She told me she would dump me and then invited me to her house for dinner. I'm scared to go. FML
Today, I went to my hairdresser who promised me a haircut which "all the girls would want you" for. She gave me a combover. FML
Today, my new girlfriend canceled my badly needed haircut appointment. She feels that having my female hairstylist wash and cut my hair involves "too much touching" and "counts as cheating." 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, my girlfriend broke up with me because of a bad haircut. She was the one who cut my hair. FML
Today, I went to a different hairdresser than usual to get 5 inches off my hair and bangs. He ended up charging me half price, saying, "Don't worry, we all make mistakes." FML
Today, I got my hair cut. When I was leaving, my stylist was standing fairly close while we were talking. She reached out to smooth out my hair; I went in for a hug. She didn't want a hug. Everyone who was there just stared at me until I left the building. FML
Today, I paid $50 for a haircut. Halfway through, I realized the hairdresser was drunk. FML
Today, as a broke 19-year-old college student, I thought I could save money by cutting my own hair before a presentation. I did one side fine, got distracted and somehow made the other side two inches shorter. I spent the whole class angling my head like I had a neck injury. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you've liked her for a while, wouldn't you know she already had a boyfriend?

Well, at least you got a free haircut out of it.

And if you did know, this is absolutely a YDI.

More like he didn't even deserve the haircut.

She may have never mentioned it, have lead him on or what ever.

Could have been a recent boyfriend of a few days/weeks.

It's just a crush, he might not actually know her that well. He's probably only had a few basic conversations with her.

Leading him on doesn't seem likely since she kinda set the situation up where op found out. It sounds more like op didn't know her too well

He probably doesn't know her all that well. Probably had like two conversations and he's all "ILY"
VaporeonMama 8
#40 Either that or OP's been creeping her out and this was her way of subtly saying "Look, I have a boyfriend!! Leave me alone please"

I had a similiar case where I liked a girl. And yes I did get to know her, however I never thought she had a boyfriend. She didn't really pry it into my face or make it seem like she had one. So its possible not to see it coming.

It may not have been such a nice haircut had the boyfriend known...

He's teaching the class. I Doubt he's going to screw up someone's hair in front of all his students.
Earl_KarmasBitch 36
"Okay class, here's how you dye someone's hair purple." No need to screw up.

There are $80 haircuts for guys these days? News to me

My wife is a hairdresser and cuts my hair. I am paying way more than $80.00 for my haircuts. But they do come with free sex, so . . .

I pay 35 and that's with a tip at a barber, but that's also with a beard trim as well.
BoxFullOfLazy 25
A normal cut with beard trim costs me $33 including tip. Most I've ever paid was around $55, which included shampoo, styling, etc, and I gave a more generous tip bc it was around Christmas. Not gonna pay $80 on the regular. I'll cut it myself if it comes to that.

That's why I always have your wife cut my hair too.
nesteremily 31
They usually charge $80?? That better come with a puppy. But hey, at least you got a free haircut OP.
Warmonger_Smurf 29
Get a puppy with a hair cut? Love the idea.
Earl_KarmasBitch 36
At least you now know what an $80 haircut feels like. I doubt many men know.
SiraSiemens 21
ah yes the hairdresser crush. been there, i was her model for her final examination and she did very well xD
HeartYou101 31
Not being rude, but she has a boyfriend - Forget about it and move on. Plus $80 (which is like €72) for a haircut?!! Your's must be super long or it's a very fancy place! My mother is a hairdresser and charges €10 (about $17) for a wash, cut and blowdry!
Mynamewontfi 40
€10,- is really cheap though. Most hairdressers I know start at €18,-
Lalala579121 28
OP would have been fine with just the blow-dry.
RosaMaravillosa 10
I agree 1p is very cheap, for a standard cut wash and blow dry here in NL it's about 35 to 60 €
I_Like_Boobs 14
mine is super long
HeartYou101 31
#16 #36 she works from home by herself so she charges whatever she likes, not too expensive though because she does hairs of people who have been going to her the past 20 years! In a salon here it can be between €10-€40 depending on where you go to get it done and the length. I've only started paying for hairdressers when I moved away from home, so it was a shock to the system!
Mynamewontfi 40
I'll never understand expensive haircuts, but maybe that's more because my hair grows really fast. Anyway, you got it for free! And if you liked her for a while, how did you not know she was in a relationship?
RosaMaravillosa 10
well, you get pampered, this place I go to. the washroom is actually a bed length ben with pillows so you're laying down when they wash your hair. you get a great scalp massage, and they use great products. they also have a small drinks and snack menu for while you're waiting, and then they log in the cut that's been made and the coloring mix they used. if you don't color it's only 40€
