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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, I used my hair straightener to attempt to straighten my eyelashes and burned my eyelid. I don't know what's sadder, that fact I thought it would be fun, or that I was stupid enough to think I wouldn't hurt myself. FML
Today, I burned my tongue. With a flat iron. FML
Today, I was reading a magazine while straightening my hair. I got really into this one article until suddenly a huge clump of hair fell on it. I looked up and realized I had burned through the layer of hair I was straightening, leaving me with one layer at ear length and the rest at bra length. 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, 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 was straightening my hair when I heard this crunching, sizzling sound. Taking the flat iron away, I realized that I had just fused a spider to my hair with the heat. FML
Today, I got burned, all because the toaster scared me while I was holding a pot of boiling water. FML
Today, I was using my new curling iron to curl my hair. I was sitting down. Suddenly I dropped the iron and, as a reflex, I caught it between my bare thighs. FML
Today, I burned myself while cooking, so I asked my mom to get the burn cream while I waited in the kitchen. While I was waiting, I absentmindedly set my hand on the hot stove, earning myself a second burn. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

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

No beauticians wax hair off, give people manicures or pedicures, do make up for people etc. Hairdressers cut people's hair and straighten it etc. I went to beauty school and became a Beauty Therapist and I do not straighten people's hair.

Two words: Britney Spears. Maybe that's why she grabbed the shearers and said " i can do it myself".... famous last words.

#41, are you insane? The customer IS kind of right in this instance. The hairdresser is only human and not infallible, and more to the point, they aren't the one who has to walk around with the results on their head if they mess up. It's the OP's hair, and they have EVERY right to do whatever is necessary to make sure it's done right--she's the one paying for service! A good hairdresser knows this, will listen to what the customer wants and do their best to make it happen, and will pay attention to what they are doing. Find another salon, seriously.

You really have to try to burn somebody with a flat iron. Just because this person asked 3 times doesn't mean she has a reason. She may be just a control freak. I hate when my clients act like that. I've had training I know what I'm doing. Don't treat me like I'm stupid, I could flat iron hair in my sleep.

I've never read a more overwhelming "YDI" FML before. You so very seriously deserved it.

Why are you a bitch? I imagine you to be the type of person that always thinks you're better than everyone else you think everyone knows it when in reality, people just don't like you. You have "best friends" but they are the type of people that will leave you in a second if they hear about anything that will benefit themselves. did you text a friend saying this and get no response? That is because no one cares and they have already given up on you because everyone knows you are going to be all dried up by age 26 and still think that you are worth something. http://www.fmylife.com/miscellaneous/852008 Look at #28. I wrote that entry and you will realize that you are going to be the girl in that story, you little bitch.

#57... wtf? She has to walk around with the results on her hair of... what? Bad straightening? Heaven forbid. Anyway YDI. Have you even been to a salon before? They're usually very open/talkative places and trust me, the hairdressers know how to multitask. You, apparently, don't.
