Have you ever brought a photo to a hair stylist and told them, “This! This is what I want to look like!”

If you have, you know that sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t.

A woman named Edie showed TikTok viewers how her haircut excursion didn’t go as planned.

Edie sat in her car in the video.

The text overlay reads, “I just got all my hair cut off. This is what I asked for.”

She showed viewers the photo she brought to her stylist…

And then Edie showed how her haircut turned out…

Ouch!

The video’s caption reads, “I think this qualifies as an emergency. LA friends, please send your short hair salon recs.”
