Not everyone in this world has the appropriate amount of appreciation for hairdressers and hair stylists. The truth is that most of them are dedicated and passionate artists who spent a lot of time and money working on a skill they enjoy and care about.

The problem is that there are also more than enough hairdressers out there who operate way below average and they still have jobs in salons all over the place. What happens when you bring photos of the hair you want to a subpar stylist?

Horrible things. Hilarious things.

Whether you laugh or scream depends on whether it's your hair or a picture you're looking at. The subreddit dedicated to expectations vs reality has served us well in highlighting epic hair fails... and we can't stop laughing.

1. "Stylish Part Line"

Honestly, I'm cackling.

2. "Expectations Vs Reality: Curly hair"

Awwww, giving off some nice, creepy murder doll vibes.

3. "Just another Expectation and reality haircut"

This is what y'all get for trying to modernize the bowl cut in the first place.

4. "Balayage hair colour."

Sure it is.

5. "Went to my hairdresser with this pic today ... fml"

Honestly, shame on the hairdresser for not explaining they don't know how to do this.

6. "what my hair looked like - what I asked for - and how it turned out"

Poor thing.

7. "Went to the hair salon today. Asked for what's on the left. Walked out with the right. Now i have to find someone to fix it"

That's not even close.

8. "The first picture was taken by my hairstylist to showcase my new hair cut and color. The second picture is the photo *I* took today, when I realized what the curls and bright lights were trying to hide."

OH NO

9. "Platinum hair expectation vs reality"

Platinum hair is something that the hairdressers of social media seethe about when it comes to your expectations.

10. "What my wife wanted on the left vs what she got on the right."

Clumpy :)

11. "My friend wants to go to school to be a hairdresser, I let her practice on my hair..."

Mistakes were made.... by OP.

12. "Mermaid hair, how hard could it be?"

Pretty hard.

13. "Since we are sharing bad hair experiences... here’s mine. Left is what I wanted, right is what I got."

C for Effort.
