People Who Regret the Day They Went to a Beauty Salon

A bad reaction

Image Source: Professional Beauty

This poor woman definitely was not expecting this to be the outcome of her brow lamination…yep, it doesn’t always agree with everyone! Luckily the redness and swelling finally went down, but we doubt she will be returning for the treatment anytime soon.

Wedding hair disaster

Can you imagine sitting for hours on the morning of your wedding to find your hair stylist has created this monstrosity? We can only hope this woman had specifically requested this unique style for her wedding day, or there would have been some tears!

An unfortunate threading job

Image Source: Eyebrow Threading

Threading is usually a quick reliable way to achieve great looking eyebrows, but unfortunately this was not the case for the woman in the image above. We’re not sure who thought this shape was a good idea, but all we can hope is that they grow back soon…

Badger stripes

Image Source: Capilar

The award for the worst highlights ever goes to…this woman in the picture above! What on earth was any hairdresser thinking when they created this disastrous look. The poor woman looks like a badger, with thick stripes of shocking blonde and copper running through her dark brown hair.

Tears of joy?

Image Source: boredpanda.com

This is your sign to never cry after a spray tan! Yep, this poor woman had tears running down her face not long after getting her spray tan done at the salon. That means as soon as she washes the residue off, she will be stuck with white lines running down her face!

A 'natural' look?

Image Source: boredpanda.com

This woman asked a make-up artist in Sephora to create a ‘natural’ look…and this is what she got. We think the employees at Sephora may need some more training if patchy eyeshadow, glitter and pink lipstick is their idea of creating a natural look!

You've missed the nail

Image Source: boredpanda.com

Would you pay a nail salon for this monstrosity? We’ve never seen anything like it, this has to be the worst set of acrylic nails we have come across so far. The powder hasn’t even applied to the woman’s nails, it has been put on her fingers to create these stubby messy claws.

A dodgy tint job

Image Source: The Mirror

Whoever tinted these brows may need their eyesight tested, because we are pretty sure they have managed to double the size of this woman's brows by tinting a huge strip of skin above them. Luckily, it shouldn’t last for too long as the tint is semi-permanent.

Eye make-up disaster

Image Source: boredpanda.com

This poor woman looks like her make-up has been painted on by a toddler, not professionally applied by a trained artist. Holding the phone to show the inspiration picture for this design, unfortunately she has ended up a far cry away from this make-up look.

Hailey Bieber, is that you?

Image Source: boredpanda.com

We have all the seen the hype of Hailey Bieber’s ‘glazed donut’ nails, which is achieved by applying a nude gel base and topping it with chrome powder. But we think this nail salon has missed the memo…these thick and stumpy silver claws are not what the client had in mind!

Eyelash hell

Image Source: Ranker

Sometimes you wonder, how bad can it really be? Well, this is how bad…clumps of glue stuck are stuck to her eyelids, with the shocking placement of extensions pointing in all directions. We’re not sure if this was done by an amateur but it definitely needs working on.

Dip-dye disaster

Image Source: The Sun

We all remember back in the day when dip-dye was all the rave, but this also meant there were many amateur dip-dye disasters…a bit like this one! We’re not sure what the vision was for this style, but it certainly hasn’t ended very well with uneven colours and no attempt at blending.

Is it Halloween?

Image Source: Pupperish

This look is really throwing it back to 2017…an orange face, dark eye make up, harsh brows and extreme white outlines. We can’t help but think this looks more like themed halloween make-up rather than standard night out glam. Let’s not even get started on the lip liner!

Botched lip filler

Image Source: The Mirror

Getting lip filler injections has become as popular as getting your nails done, but it doesn’t always go to plan…yep, it is quite common for people to have bad reactions to filler, as we can see in this picture above. Eventually the swelling goes down, but we doubt she will be trying it again!

Spider lashes

Image Source: The Mirror

This has to be one of the worst set of eyelash extensions we have ever seen…this poor woman was not expecting to walk out of the salon looking like she had spiders legs stuck to her eyelids. You would barely be able to keep your eyes open with the weight of this extensions!

Cleopatra gone wrong

Image Source: Carolanne Armstrong

We can only hope that this woman specifically asked for Cleopatra costume make-up…but even if she did, they haven’t done the best job. The uneven eyebrows and the dodgy thick eyeliner is not doing her any favours, let alone the lump of turquoise shadow on her eyelids.

Shocking layers

Image Source: boredpanda.com

We really cannot get our head round what has happened here…this woman’s hair looks more like a frilly dress than a stylish layered dream. Surely she had no choice but to cut the bottom two layers off before leaving the salon, there is now way anyone could pull that off!

Sparkle city

Image Source: Pinterest

Where do we even start with this nail painting disaster…for starters, the pink coat is far too close to the cuticles and the surface is rough and uneven? Then we move on to the sparkle top coat, which is covering half of the woman’s fingers rather than her nails.

A lash lift gone wrong

Image Source: Reddit

Lash lifts are the alternative to eyelash extensions if you want to avoid gluing synthetic extensions and retain a more natural look. However, this poor lady has not ended up with a beautiful natural look…instead, her lashes are clumped together pointing in all directions.

Bad bangs

Image Source: boredpanda.com

We have seen some people really pull off short bangs, but I don’t think this is what this client had in mind when she entered the hair salon! It looks like someone has cut her fringe in the dark, with completely uneven lines and tufts of hair sticking out all over the place.

A shocking spray tan

Image Source: Pinterest

Everyone knows the number 1 rule when getting a spray tan is…watch out for tan lines! In other words, don’t wear a bikini with dodgy straps and don’t shove on a huge pair of protective glasses because you’ll end up looking like this woman in the image above.

A dodgy paint job

Image Source: Reddit

Yet another acrylic nail disaster, we cannot get over how badly these nails have been! The nails are physically lifting off the woman’s finger, which is a sign the powder has been applied too thickly. And let’s not even start on the quality of the paint job…

Botched extensions

Image Source: The MoneySavingExpert Forum

We’re pretty sure the whole point of getting hair extensions is to give the appearance of naturally longer hair without anyone knowing…unfortunately, we are pretty sure most people will notice this botched job. The extensions aren’t even the same colour as her natural hair!

A make-up disaster

Image Source: boredpanda.com

This might possibly be the worst make-up look we have seen so far…the eye make-up has to be the worst part, with massive patches of blue stuck straight onto her eyelids and dodgy eyeliner separating the glitter. The fake eyelashes also look like they are about to fly away…

Dodgy dip-dye

Image Source: www.erroldouglas.com

Another shocking dip-dye look, this poor woman has ended up with an uneven blend from dark roots to light tips. Maybe this was the colour she requested for the ends, but it looks more like an attempt to dye them blonde which has turned out to be ginger.

Slugs for eyebrows

Image Source: MyLondon

We’ve seen some stunning outcomes from the eyebrow lamination technique, which has recently become a popular beauty treatment. However, this definitely is not one of those good outcomes…this poor woman has ended up with giant dark slugs for eyebrows!

Disney gone wrong

Image Source: boredpanda.com

We’re not sure if this was intentional but this woman’s make-up and wig bears a striking resemblance to the Disney character Elsa from the film Frozen. Maybe she has a big dream to star in the West End, or she may even be an Elsa impersonator at children’s parties?

A dodgy chop

Image Source: boredpanda.com

We can only assume that someone attacked this poor woman’s hair with a pair of scissors in the dark, because how else would this disaster happen? She will now have no choice but to cut off the rest to make it an even chop, but what a shame to lose all of that hair!

Waxed to death

Image Source: ELLE

We all anticipate a bit of redness after getting our eyebrows waxed at the salon…but not THIS red! They might look perfectly neat, but if you look closely you can see the skin around this poor woman’s eyebrows has literally been ripped off her face, ouch!

Messy nail art

Image Source: boredpanda.com

A classic case of ‘this is what I asked for’ VS ‘this is what I got’…although we can appreciate that this would be a very time-consuming and tricky design to achieve on each nail, maybe the salon should have stuck to simple nail art rather than achieving the impossible.

Brush Your Teeth Twice A Day, And Your Nails Once.. Here are the worst nail fails!

Image Source / YouTubeJust when you thought it couldn't get any crazier than full ears as your nails, this one is unveiled. We all know glossy white French Manicures are popular, but this is taking it a little too far. Though it may make hand puppets more interesting.

2. Never Worry About The Washing Up Again

Image Source / Bored PandaIs there anything worse than realising you've run out of knives and forks and need to do the dishes? Well now you don't have to worry about it when your own nails can be your cutlery! And posh silver cutlery at that. Gives a whole new meaning to finger food, doesn't it?

3. Brings A Whole New Meaning To 'Talk To The Hand'

Image Source / BuzzfeedOther body parts and nails just don't mix, but they seem to be a very popular option for crazy nail art. One ear on one nail would be freaky enough, but this just takes it to a whole new level. To top it off, the ears have piercings, too? No thanks!

4. Gender Reveal Nails?

Image Source / PinterestI mean, it's actually not a bad plan as far as gender reveals go - it's certainly a quirky reason to get some crazy nail art done. Sort of like unveiling a new engagement ring, but for a different meaning... It still looks mind-blowingly weird though.

5. There's Apparently No Problem That IKEA Can't Fix

Image Source / Bored PandaNeed a new table? IKEA. Need a flat-pack wardrobe? IKEA. Need some frankly rather disturbing new nails? IKEA. This nail art takes it to the next level by actually creating items of furniture and attaching them to the nails. Imagine trying to open a can of soda with a chair attached to the end of your finger.

6. Hair And Long Nails Don't Mix

Image Source / YouTubeIt's difficult enough trying to wash or style your hair when you've just had really long nails done, but imagine combining the two? All this looks like is you had a really bad shower accident where you tripped and ripped half your hair out. Which, unfortunately, decided to stay attached to the fingers...

7. A Snack Right At Your Fingertips

Image Source / YouTubeIt would be great if you had a ready-made sweet treat right at the end of your fingers, let's be honest - it'd bring a whole new meaning to 'biting your nails', anyway. But these candy corn nails are a little too ridiculous. It's like someone put superglue on their nails and shoved their hand in the candy jar!

8. Is That A Toilet Brush?

Image Source / PinterestWait... It's not just a toilet brush, but... Okay, the level of detail is either really impressive or really disturbing. Why would you even want that on the end of your nails? It might make cleaning the toilet a little bit easier if they were actually brushes that worked - and by the looks of this picture, they sure did...

9. Lava Lamp Nails

Image Source / YouTubeCreate your own night light with this nail art! Compared to some of the others on this list (see previous point) these are actually kinda cool. The fact that they actually look like blobs of lava is definitely impressive... And if they do glow, well, even better when you need a reading lamp.

10. A Treat For Halloween

Image Source / Bored PandaOr any other time of year, if you're that way inclined. Fans of the Predator movies might enjoy this one - or maybe, actually, does that look like the Kraken? Maybe you see what you want to see, but one thing we can all agree on is that this one is gruesome - whether you like that or not!

11. The Unsolvable Rubik's Cube

Image Source / Aesthetically Chic BeautyYou've no hopes of completing this one even if you were a dab hand at solving them. There's something quite satisfying about the geometric shapes and colours on this one, but they're still kinda crazy... especially when practical things come into it, like using your phone's touch keypad.

12. Does Something Smell Funny To You?

Image Source / Society19A nose on the end of your nail would be bad enough, but nose complete with nose hair? And nose hair that's bound to drop and dip into every item of food or drink you consume? The creativity with the different nose sizes and moustache styles does deserve credit, though - as traumatizing as it is.

13. Like We're Not Addicted To Our Devices Enough

Image Source / Bored PandaHey , know what would be better than scrolling through social media for hours on end on your phone or device? Actually having an iPhone replica as your fingernail! There's no doubt that this is some serious talent, to be fair, though... the glossy black finish, the level of detail on that wallpaper - it's all impressive.

14. Would You Kiss This Hand?

Image Source / Bored PandaI think even fans of KISS would think this a step too far - or maybe it's the right amount of crazy. Imagine forgetting that you'd had these done and waking up to see Gene Simmons staring at you. One thing's for certain - this nail design was made for lovin' you.

15. Nails You Can Scrape Off Wallpaper With

Image Source / PinterestIt'd certainly save you a lot of money on tools if you needed to do DIY, but if you're not using these as massive scrapers or shovels for the gardening, then they're definitely more a hindrance than a help. At a push, they'd be great for scooping up sweets for your cinema stash.

16. Succulent Lovers Might Like This One

Image Source / Bored PandaMost people would agree that plants make you happier. Surrounding yourself with plants, and particularly easy-to-manage succulents, is a positive life choice. But when is it a step too far? When your home's full? Or when you get nails made out of cacti? Probably the latter.

17. Handy Toolkit, Anyone?

Image Source / Bored PandaIt'd be great to carry a tool kit round with you, right? Handy if you need to tighten a nail or unscrew something. But instead of slipping a mini kit in your pocket, how about making your actual nails into screwdrivers? Why stop there? Why not make them neon coloured, too?

18. You'll Feel Like You've Fallen Down A Wormhole With These Ones

Image Source / Bored PandaEven the craziest nail art sometimes makes a tiny bit of sense, but this is just purely bizarre. In fact, horrifying. Unless you're someone who wants worms dangling from the end of every finger, that is. The only plus of this is it would make a pretty good Halloween costume.

19. Fear Of Bugs? Look Away Now

Image Source / Bored PandaAnd definitely never, ever ask for the cockroach special - or whatever insectoid from a horror movie these are supposed to be! Again, maybe a great Halloween look, but only with the understanding that you'd rip them off and burn them as soon as possible once the 31st has passed!

20. Suckling Pigs

Image Source / Bored PandaAlthough this is definitely some serious talent (and kinda cute, all things considered) it should probably be left on the farm... Extra points for the twirly tails, but points taken off for the general absurdity and shocking shade of bright piglet pink.

21. Gone Fishing

Image Source / Bored Panda... and gone a little bit too far with 3D nail art, maybe. It's seriously impressive, but not practical in the slightest. At least the nails themselves are some semblance of normal in sleek white, but a fisherman perched on the edge is going to make a lot of daily tasks difficult.

22. Worried About Running Out Of A Bottle For Your Baby? Never Fear!

Image Source / Bored PandaYou'd have to be a parent to get these done, otherwise it would be a little weird... Or weirder, to say the least. It would be kinda handy if they were actually filled with milk, but can't imagine it'd be more than a drop. The attention to detail on these is very impressive, even if the design wouldn't be, er - for everyone.

23. She Sells Sea Shells On The Sea Shore

Image Source / Bored PandaOr, if not the sea bed, then at the very least the nail bed. There'd be nothing wrong with ocean or shell-themed nails - in fact, it'd be very cute - but this takes it a little bit too far in the shell department. You'd definitely be worried about one of these falling off and making your next meal extra crunchy.

24. Nail Brush

Image Source / Bored PandaNot a fan of the previous art on this list with nails made of teeth? Well how about a nail made out of a whole toothbrush head instead? At least this one is a little more practical by the fact you could actually use it as a toothbrush... Definitely helpful if you forget to pack yours next time you take a trip.

25. From Toothbrush To Makeup Brush

Image Source / Bored PandaAnother brush you might forget to pack is your makeup brush, which is always a killer when you've foundation to apply. So why not make your next nail appointment design one made out of... bristles? At least you can keep your makeup brushes more clean this way - just wash them every time you wash your hands!

26. Forgot Your Earphones? No Problem!

Image Source / Bored PandaThese nails actually begin with a seriously cute pale pink design with impressive musical notes - a design any music fan would love. It then gets a tad silly with a massive headphone stuck out of the top. Even if they actually miraculously worked, your hand would ache after a while holding it up to your ear...

27. How About Some Extra Fingers?

Image Source / Bored PandaWhen a normal amount of fingers isn't enough, why not have a bunch of extra ones attached to your hand? And not only that, but why not make them super creepy, too? Another one for the Halloween Pinterest board, maybe? At least if you got bored of them you could chop of the fingers and be left with a somewhat acceptable pale white polish!

28. Comb Over, Anyone?

Image Source / BeBeautifulIn need of a quick touch up? Forgot to pop your brush in your bag and need to straighten your hair? No problem! Not only one comb to hand, but one on every finger! Even though this design is a little absurd, we have to admit, the bright colours do look great.

29. This Crazy Nail Design Trend Nose No Bounds

Image Source / Bored PandaAt least this one doesn't come with crazy moustache hair! But does that really make it any better? Nope! All credit to the nail artist who can actually fashion a realistic-looking human nose on every finger - and on such a tiny surface area as a nail, at that - but still... that's enough for me, thanks.

30. Fancy Some Talon Toes?

Image Source / DietZonesHow would you ever not ruin a pair of socks? You'd have to wear flip-flops every single day, and then imagine stubbing your toe whilst wearing these. Ouch. Also sucks if you play football. The gothic black polish is a winner, but everything else is just plain scary.

31. Polka... What?

Image Source: Good HousekeepingWhen you're thinking of quirky nail art ideas, then polka dots are probably going to come top of the list. Trouble is, when you're attempting it yourself, it can be very tricky to get those spots, well... spot-on. As demonstrated here. It's less 101 Dalmatians and more 101 reasons not to do this again.

32. Stars And Stripes... And Smudges

Image Source: Good HousekeepingThere's nothing like being proud of your home country, and the American flag offers a lot of nail potential with its bright colours, stars and stripes. It can be hard to translate that onto such a small surface area, though, as it's less stars and stripes and more just a smudgy mess.

33. Turquoise Tips? More Like Turquoise Tears

Image Source: Good HousekeepingAnother fun nail design can be to colour only the tips of your nails - a French Manicure but with a colourful twist. Well, this turquoise twist has turned a little more twisted than intended, which is a shame because it's a great colour! Extra points for getting it all on the skin, too.

34. A Patriotic Attempt

Image Source: Good HousekeepingOnce again, we have a patriotic attempt at stars and stripes - which has, once again, gone a little wrong. Although this is a little neater than the last one we saw (the white isn't smudged, at least) it's still more... spots and a random star-looking thing?

35. When The Pieces Just Don't Fit

Image Source: Good HousekeepingIt sure is a puzzle trying to work out what this person was thinking when they attempted this. Kudos for trying, because there's certainly nothing more difficult than intricate puzzle pieces, but this pink and silver jigsaw attempt is definitely not working out.

36. Plaid? More Like Sad

Image Source: Good HousekeepingIf you're trying to replicate a material pattern on your nails, then plaid is certainly one of the hardest you can attempt. With not only the intricate line detailing, but the fact you have to get the lines straight, you've got yourself a pretty tricky nail design - which this attempt proves. Would you even know it's supposed to be plaid?

37. X Marks The Spot

Image Source: Good HousekeepingNope, it's not supposed to be a pretty pirate's map, but it sure looks like one! This design was supposed to be a floral red Poinsettia plant, but looks more like a big fat red X with a couple of green blobs piled on the top. In their defence, flowers would be pretty difficult to paint with nail polish.

38. Angling For Something A Little Different?

Image Source: Good HousekeepingWhere are the geometric shapes and angles, I hear you ask - well, apparently it's that solitary black blob on the thumb. This design was supposed to be full of pastel angle lines on every finger, but even the base coat looks like a pretty messy attempt.

39. I Think The Watercolour Was A Little Too Runny...

Image Source: Good HousekeepingThere's wanting a watercolour design, and then there's using nail varnish that's apparently just as watery as the paint itself. This attempt was supposed to be a watercolour-inspired finish - but for the nails themselves and certainly not every area of exposed skin...

40. Patriotic Pride Turns To Patriotic Shame

Image Source: Good HousekeepingThis is the third time we've had to suffer a Stars & Stripes attempt, but this one might possibly be the worst! For red, white and blue you have red, white, blue and strangely brown. And that's not so much a star or a stripe, but a messy red love heart.

41. Less Than Fan-tash-tic

Image Source: Good HousekeepingWe all know the quirkiness of a fake moustache - whether it's tattooing one on the side of your finger so you can hold it up to your mouth when the time is right, or just for a little fancy dress. So there's no doubt that it'd look cute as a nail design - but only if you do it right, of course...

42. A Whole New Meaning To Zebra Print

Image Source: YouTubeWhen it's done right, animal print is a great nail vibe - cool zebra print, cheeky tiger print or playful cheetah print. But even when the print itself is done flawlessly, it all depends on the nail shape... and these are prime example of how the simple shape of nails can result in something rather terrifying.

43. Matz-Oh-No

Image Source: Good HousekeepingYou may think it's silly to base your nail design on a popular flatbread, but Matzo design isn't so unbelievable when it has cute hues of beige and brown. The problems only start when you do it incorrectly so it just looks like a messy glob of brown on every finger.

44. Neon Fail

Image Source: Good HousekeepingThe marble-effect nail design is very popular, and even more so when it's in bold hues of neon. You may be looking at these nails wondering what they were supposed to be though, because there's no real sign of marbling or even neon anywhere... but maybe that one chipped green nail counts?

45. Marbling Chaos

Image Source: Good HousekeepingYou at least have to give this one points for staying inside the lines and not getting the polish all over their skin. But this attempt at marble-effect still leaves a lot to be desired, and does look a tad runny. It might have also worked better with a brighter colour!

46. Lime Turns... Banana?

Image Source: Good HousekeepingWhere's the lime, you might ask. Well, that's what this was supposed to be, but it's come out with more a banana yellow finish. Not only that, but one nail is supposed to include an intricate henna-like design of swirls in black and white, but it looks more like a blob.

47. Epic Gradient Fail

Image Source: Good HousekeepingGradient nails are great: they add a touch of subtle colour change for a more minimalistic look. When you get them wrong, however, they can look less like a gradient and more like a Grade-A mess up. Especially when you get more of the paint on your skin rather than the nail itself!

48. So Apparently Neon Marbling Is Very Hard

Image Source: Good HousekeepingYet another example of why marbling is hard, and why you should probably start out with some basic colours like black and white maybe instead of neon. After all, the brighter the colour, the more obvious it is that you've completely messed it up akin to melted neon ice cream...

49. All Hail The Pumpkin King

Image Source: Good HousekeepingAny Halloween and Nightmare Before Christmas Fan is going to rejoice at some Jack Skellington nails - but only if they're done right, of course. Aside from the very messy pumpkin-orange outlines for the other nails, that Jack Skellington face is a little... well... scary.

50. Do You Feel Like Someone's Watching You?

Image Source: Best City NailsThis has to be the creepiest thing I've ever seen. I don't even know what the original idea behind this one was, other than that eyes would look really cool - and eyes that have been cut out of a magazine and stuck on very badly, at that. If you want eyes that are going to judge you for your poor nails every time you look at them, this is the design for you.
