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

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 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, 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

Today, my girlfriend asked me to straighten her hair while she did her makeup, even though I’ve never straightened hair before. I burned a length of it off, because I had no idea what I was doing. It’s super obvious from the back, but she’s gone out already. I’m a dead man when she gets home. FML

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

Umyeah, you definitely deserved that. I'm sure she wouldn't have burned you but like someone else said, I would have done it on purpose.

That sucks, I hate when the person is too busy yapping on the phone or to her coworkers to pay attention to you. I had a hairdresser like that. Once. I gave her a small tip and never went back. Now the new one I found is great. Sucks for your ear though! Hope it heals quick and that you find a decent salon to go to. For all the people saying she's a controlling bitch... HELLO, it's HER hair, she has every right to have control over what's done to it! Hairdressers are people too and they can suck at their job just like anybody else...

I agree with #28. I mean, sure, she shouldn't have grabbed the iron and tried to do it herself, but the hairdresser should've been paying attention in the first place. The OP clearly states that she asked THREE times, and while the hairdresser may have been the best at her job, or be capable of doing any work blindfolded-- or not, there's always that-- she was asked by a customer to do something. It's her job to follow. Least she could have done was put the customer at ease. I personally hate it when people yap over my head like I'm a doll.

Definitely YDI. Your hairdresser has probably done that a thousand times and could do it in her sleep. Unless she's being extremely reckless or something like that, you're most likely not going to get hurt. Well, that is, unless you start being a grabby control freak. Funny how that worked out.
