Spooky Salon Horror Stories
Published date 31 October 2024
As Halloween approaches, it’s time for some hair-raising spooky salon stories straight from the salon floor. While salons are the place of relaxation and bliss, for some, salons are more terrifying than we think! Here are some of our favourite ‘Halloween horror stories’ that our customers have sent in to share just in time for Halloween. Keep reading if you dare…
The Case of the Cut Ponytail
“I went to my nail tech for a fresh mani, and I accidentally flipped my ponytail forward into the nail drill! My hair got completely managed in it! I had to cut 5 inches off my hair right there in the nail salon. Wasn’t quite the hair appointment I had in mind.”
Getting your ponytail caught in a nail drill and cutting 5 inches off is not the hair & beauty transformation you probably had in mind!
The Ear-Chopping Incident
“I sliced off the top of a little boy's ear! I was cutting around his head and he wouldn’t stay still and was moving around a lot. I warned his dad to help keep him still but he was just more interested in playing games on his phone. Next thing I know, I clipped the top of his ear! Luckily it was minor, and I was able to patch it up, but I did get a bit of his skin stuck in my scissors!”
We can all relate to the stress of a wriggly client, but this one took a terrifying turn. This is a salon announcement for any kid clients out there to stay still!
The Terrifying Trainer Tragedy
“One of my clients has just come back from their travels and was wearing their brand new, crisp white cloth trainers. As I was applying her 2N colour that she gets every 8 weeks, the whole bowl of colour slipped from my hand, off the trolley, and onto the floor which splatted all over her left shoe! I tried everything to clean it up, but it wasn’t coming off. I did end up giving her the money for some new shoes, but it also made me late for all my other appointments that day. What a disaster!”
This is your sign to not let your clients wear brand-new white trainers to the salon…
The Salon Shadow
“It was the end of a Saturday shift, everyone had gone home and I was locking the salon up. As I came from the basement to turn the hot water off, I saw a literal child run through the wall and into the salon! I thought someone had gotten in somehow, but when I checked, there was no one there. I even had my husband look at the CCTV footage, and all we saw was a shadow appear by the stairs and wall. We've tested everything, and there is no way a shadow could be formed by walking past the entrance. So scary!”
Without a shadow of doubt, this is the spookiest salon story we’ve heard!
Alexa’s Spooky Soundtrack
“One day in the salon, Alexa stopped playing my music, and it just sounded like static. All of a sudden the speakers started blaring out creepy nursery rhymes that I’d never heard of before! It was so eerie!”
It’s safe to say we won’t be using our salon Alexa anytime soon!
If you weren’t already in the spooky spirit of Halloween, our salon horror stories should have done the trick! Watch out for eerie encounters, strange shadows, and your client's choice of footwear… Happy Halloween!
