A MILLION dollars – that's what you're supposed to feel like after forking out for a haircut.<\/p>\n
But unfortunately for Melissa Fritts, things didn't quite work out that way and she left the salon with a hairdo that people have described as ''criminal''.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
According to the mum, believed to be from the USA, she had asked the whizz for the on-trend layers and the staff member even consulted with her before grabbing the scissors.<\/p>\n
''I told her beforehand \u201cI don\u2019t like a straight across cut.\u201d She says you want it going into more of a V shape? I said yes def!'' the parent recalled the conversation between the two.<\/p>\n
However, despite the chat Melissa was lost for words when she saw the final result in the mirror – and so were the viewers on social media.<\/p>\n
After the beauty fanatic shared the aftermath of the hair horror on her page, the clip went viral, winning her more than 1.3million views in just two days.<\/p>\n
''Why do I have 5 strands of long hair left,'' the mum was baffled in the caption.<\/p>\n Posing to the camera, Melissa shared the monstrosity – a deep V-style cut with the longest piece reaching her butt and the shortest layers sitting around her shoulder blades.<\/p>\n To make the look every more messy, the hairdresser had also added a few random layers throughout, leaving Melissa totally hair-rified.<\/p>\n As it turns out, the mum had had the hair cut at a budget beauty salon with a notoriously bad reputation – and the mum promised she's since learnt from her mistake.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n After going viral on the platform, Melissa revealed she might even get the authorities involved.<\/p>\n Thousands of people raced to comments in sheer horror, with many insisting the hairdresser should've warned the customer beforehand.<\/p>\n FABULOUS VEGAS: JOIN TO CLAIM \u00a3100 BONUS<\/strong> PLUS 50 FREE SPINS<\/p>\n ''Stylist here- they should have told you it wouldn\u2019t look the same because of your density. It would look better if you cut the bottom part of the V,'' one pro said.<\/p>\n Another couldn't believe their eyes, writing: ''This is CRIMINAL! I\u2019m so sorry.''<\/p>\n ''That\u2019s the difference from a $20 cut to a $85 dollar cut. I\u2019m so sorry,'' a third chimed in.<\/p>\n ''That same exact thing happened to me last year I was so mad\/sad.. and I used to do hair for a living so it hurt even more,'' a fellow beauty lover shared their nightmare story.<\/p>\n Melissa is not the only one who's had terrible experience with the salon, as one wrote: ''Asked for an angled Bob and they cut out a square from the back of my head. My condolences.''<\/p>\n Speaking of all things hair, did you know there's a reason your locks never grow past a certain length? And according to one expert, Rachel Valentine, it's got nothing to do with your haircare.<\/p>\n Taking to\u00a0TikTok, the pro, whose profile @rachelvalentinehair\u00a0has amassed 84k followers, explained what's\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0going on with your hair.<\/p>\n ''Every hair on our head is in its own growth cycle and within that cycle the hair will grow out of the head and then it will stop.<\/p>\n ''It will eventually shed and then another hair will grow in its place.''<\/p>\n Rachel added in\u00a0the video\u00a0that this time period usually ranges anywhere from two to six years – and in some cases, it can even be up to ten years.<\/p>\n This, in turn, means that the longer your hair is in this growing period for, the longer it will grow – however, your genetics also play a huge role, she added.<\/p>\n ''But if someone's hair is in the growth stage for two years […], their hair is gonna get to a point after two years and then it's gonna shed.<\/p>\n ''And then it will start the whole process again.''<\/p>\n<\/picture>POUT OF CONTROL <\/span><\/p>\n
