Funnily enough, from a legal standpoint, the potpourri hair might be a crime as several states in the US have an "understood expectation of service" where hair, to be used for any purpose beyond disposal, must be done so with client consent. I remember this from when the whole Locks of Love company wanted to make wigs from human hair for cancer patients, and these laws were part of the issue with their original setup.
@@spherecleaning3606 My younger daughter, a licensed beautician, confirms this...at least for our state. If this stylist has a license she/he is going to be losing it.
I think you could even find a loophole in this instance. If the stylist just throws away the hair in a bag, all by itself, they can come back later on their own and take it out of the dumpster. Because as long as the trash isn’t locked anyone can go through it legally.
Legally speaking, once Hair is cut off it's classified as Biological Waste and must be disposed of in the same manner that thing like used bandages or toiletries.
My mom’s a hair stylist. One time for my for my forensic science class we were doing a unit on hair and I asked my mom if she could give me some of her client’s hair. She gave it to me, but only after she got the express consent of her client to use it in any way other than disposing of it. You’re not allowed to use a clients hair for other purposes without asking first.
After reading story 1, I would rather have a stylist who completely butchers my hair but is at least a decent person rather than a brilliant stylist who is a full on creep! Hair is temporary but trauma is almost forever!
yeah that was just them desperately attempting to salvage the situation, gaslight OP into not going somewhere else, or maybe even telling anyone else, although it didn't seem like they realized it was as weird as it actually is
@lekiscool not applicable if the stylist ain't contracted by OP. going repeatedly does not constitute a contract. OP is not obliged to cut their hair and go to that stylist at any point in time wth 😂
A story taking up over half the vid always means we're in for one hell of a journey The fact that them trying to cancel OP's credit card is the most "normal" thing happening in the story is scary AF
They probaly were thinking they could just charge her card the extortion fee but was pissed when they couldn't so they figured cancelling the card was the next "best move" for them to make. (I only say the first part because it is odd for them to jump right to canceling it.) Still crazy...
From what I can tell, it is in fact illegal to keep someone's hair after cutting it in the same way the surgeon isn't allowed to just keep organs they pull put of you. The law doesn't actually make a clear difference between types of body parts. I mean, a lawyer could absolutely argue hair doesn't count as a body part, but they'd do so knowing that they'd spend the rest of their career as the 'hair sex doll lawyer' whether they won or lost lol.
Well I looked into that and found something different. We have the Moore v. Regents of the University of California (1990). This case established that a patient has no property interest in the ownership of his cells AFTER they were removed from him during medical treatment. Since there is no clear law on the matter, a judge would most likely use this case as a precedent
Henrietta lacks may have something to say about this. Her cancer cells have been a staple of the medical science industry for something like 60 years, completely unconsented. HeLa cells have made literal billions in profit and NONE of it went to the family.
I thought police regularly got "discarded" hair from trash bags, the same way they collect DNA samples from a soda or coffee cup that had been thrown away, with the law being that anything that's been thrown away as garbage is fair game?
1st story: If that guy was saving the hair to send off for making wigs for cancer patients, that would be one thing, but the fact that he was just keeping it with OPs name on it is beyond creepy
@aghollingsworth r/slash is the one who made it sound like a guy and also assumed it's a guy, so people are gonna say "guy" in general. Also the hair industry is heavily filled with men... don't be weird about them saying "guy"
The stylist was almost definitely a woman. There were a lot of clues to suggest they were a woman. Rslashs bias against men is getting really bad. He's auto inserting men as the villains even when context clues make it obvious the person was a woman or giving lower judgments to women and higher ones to men. it's honestly distracting from watching him lately at how bad it's getting. I'm not even a man and would be considered pretty rabidly liberal, and even I'm getting kind of disturbed by it now. The judgment with the wife who beat her husband and abused her gay son was one of the worst, too. Women can be bad, and the majority of men aren't bad either. And if a woman does something bad, it isn't any less severe than if a man did it. Rslash really needs some introspection.
My husband is a lawyer (I graduated law school), and it is illegal to keep the hair! Essentially, the hair is owned by OP even after it’s been cut, but a hair stylist is given implied consent to dispose of the hair. It’s an expected part of the services rendered. For example, if you take Yugo to a dog daycare, he isn’t legally their dog while he’s in their care. He is still legally your property even though they have consent to take care of him on your behalf.
Yes! This! I'm not a lawyer but I was under the impression that getting your hair cut as a service implied that part of the service was disposal of hair clippings. Similar to a kind of contract I guess? Glad to know I was partially accurate.
I know there are some non-profit organizations that take hair scraps and turn them into mats that help clean up oil spills in water- hair soaks up oil really well! I wonder how that fits into this legal framework. Maybe just asking/informing the client and see if they want to opt out? Hm
You can get mitochondrial DNA tho which can be used for exclusionary purposes in a court of law, but not for identification. Not relevant here but a fun DNA fact.
So, I'm not a stylist or lawyer, but I've been getting haircuts for 35+ years. Every time, they have either swept my hair off the floor to be thrown out or set it aside for donations to wig makers. I assume there are probably rules that people have to follow with hair disposal and donation and considering how creepy that stylist was they weren't getting rid of it or donating it.
You still own your hair, even if you cut it at a hair salon. The stylist has temporary access to it to perform the service, and they do not legally claim ownership of your hair once it's cut.
Right it's still genetic material. If that were true then every hospital has the right to any organ they yank out...but they don't, they can't even donate organs from the dead unless they gave permission to be an organ donar
@@kelsmister Yes, hair is a physical and biological hazard. Physical hazard for choking like food/drink wise or injury like slipping on it and hurting yourself.
Only if you request it. Cut hair is basically considered waste because most people don't want it back, so it's the job of the stylist to dispose of it in the correct way. It doesn't all end up in landfills because you can send it to a factory that turns the keratin into a type of gelatin, there is a company that uses it to absorb oil spills in the ocean or I heard it can be used to repell wild boars (not sure how tho). Alternatively you can donate it by essentially passing the ownership to whoever gets the wig. If your hair is used for purposes outside of these few without informing you and without your consent it could be considered a crime. It works the same in hospitals where if you have a biopsy or an amputation it gets either incinerated, sent to a lab to study it, used in transplants or you can keep it like many of us keep our baby teeth.
For starters, it's sweet after 11 years she still goes out of her way to make what she thinks is his favorite. Been married almost 15 years, and small things like that are a huge positive in a relationship. And no, it's not too late. They'll likely laugh about it.
Now I have to reevaluate my life to make sure I'm not forcing people to take something that I thought they liked. My mom really lives Ferrero Roche chocolates, and we gift it to her every year for her birthday or Christmas. I'm now wondering if she secretly hates them and is just accepting it out of politeness lol
That last story though. I miss chicken parmesan sandwiches so much. The ones I liked as a kid in particular had the patties in one of those disposable pans that were caked in tomato sauce and cheese that you would thaw out and cook atop the stove. Obviously a huge mess, but it tasted SO good that way.
Was it really so difficult after the first chicken parm to say “this was really delicious, you’re a great cook. But I realize I meant to say my favorite food was chicken Alfredo” You still compliment her cooking while also getting your real favorite next time.
Story 2: This reminds me of the "Hawaiian Pizza" where my mother thought my father liked it, and my father thought my mother liked it. And it took till I was like 16~17 to ask "Hey why do we keep getting Hawaiian?" and then everything came spilling out, that neither actually preferred Hawaiian over other kinds. Want a crazy twist though? My brother ended up liking Hawaiian Pizza.
4:10 I've got one of those stories too. When I was in high school on a camping trip there were all these turtles trying to migrate across a road. Every time I encountered one I'd pick it up by the side of the shell and carry it across the road in the direction it was heading. After that one day, for probably the next 15 years for christmas, my mom would get me turtle-themed things. Eventually one year she explained her thinking. When I was little I loved TMNT, didn't want to eat turtle soup, then like 7 years later I was helping turtles. And somehow she took those three events (which were entirely unrelated except for the coincidence that they all invovled turtles) to mean that I was a huge fan of turtles. So she'd buy me all these turtle things, porcelain decorations, a big clay sculpted tortoise, some other things. I still have that tortoise sculpture, it's a pretty nice piece just objectively speaking.
*First OP:* I remember this story from Oz Media! That schitt was wild. Did anyone else catch rSlash clapping when the 👏 emoji appeared? 😂 That was a nice touch. The stylist tried to cancel OP's credit card?! BRO?! I hope the client in the TikTok sued the stylist. What an idiot! *Second OP:* That was a nice palate cleanser after the first story. In OP's defense, both dishes have the word "chicken" in it, so it's an easy mistake to make. 😛
12:07 “there’s no rule that says a dog can’t play basketball!” Story 2: I would’ve just found a fancy restaurant that has chicken Alfredo, take her out for dinner, order the chicken Alfredo and say “I think this is my new favorite!”
It's fun listening to all you guys tell stories about how people in your life think something was your favorite thing ever so they made it for you all the time. Meanwhile I have had the same conversation with my mom about meatloaf multiple times my entire life. Mom: " do you want me to make a meatloaf." Me: no, definitely not. Mom: Why not? Me: I don't like meatloaf. Mom: Since when? Me: since the first time we had this conversation nearly 30 years ago and every time you bring up meatloaf.
@@hollytheanimalcrossingfanIt's a musical/ movie about a Barber serial killer that murders his clients and sends the bodies to a woman that's obsessed with him who then turns them into meat pies and sells them to people. I think its alternative name is The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
I actually looked into the legality of keeping the client's hairs. There is no clear law about that. However, we have some precedent (Stare decisis) case that would make the judgement go in favor of the stylist (Moore v. Regents of the University of California: A patient has no property interest in his cells after they were removed during medical treatment.) On one hand the stylist can claim that by getting her hair cut, the client abandonned her ownership to them. He can also claim that the industry standard implied a transfer of possession and ownership of the cut hair to the salon. On the other, the client can claim emotional distress and the fact that she ONLY consented to the haircut (And not to her hair being retained for other uses) Basically, in a legal case, the stylist would probably be in the clear (For retaining the hair). But obviously, it doesn't take into consideration the psychotic behavior of the stylist (Which would influence the judgement)
As discarded hair is considered human waste, cut hair is owned by the stylist/barber to legally dispose of. However you can ask for some/all of it back if you want to donate it/make it into a wig.
" Everyone loves mcdonald's when secretly no one loves mcdonald's." Meanwhile I am watching this video while sitting in a mcdonald's parking lot eating my mcdonald's breakfast. 😂
Last story: my favorite story about this situation was one I think I heard here a few years ago. The OP’s grandparents were married for many years and every Christmas (i think) the grandpa always got the same candy for his wife because he thought they were her favorites. The grandpa passes away and a few years after grandma remarries, step-grandpa’s decides to get the same candy for their first Christmas as a married couple to restart the tradition. When Grandma gets the candy she instantly throws them out and says something like “I’m not doing this again! I hate those candies! I spent 40 years eating those candies and I refuse to spend the rest of my life eating them again!”
My grandmother once made the mistake of saying she liked pigs. I'm not sure of the context as I was a child, but for the next few decades until she passed, she would regularly receive pig-based gifts. Pig paintings, crystal pigs, dishes with pigs on them, etc... It took her so long to tell us she didn't like pigs all that much that it was far too late to stop our weird family tradition
I know that keeping the hair was crazy and all, but what really scares me is how the stylist had no idea that harassing OP was a criminal offense. They sent her threatening texts and voicemail, tried to extort her, tried to cancel her card, and was completely unhinged! It makes you wonder what reality they live in where they think this behavior is normal and not illegal. I almost wonder if they used harassment and verbal abuse to get what they want all their life
goood morning rslashers and merry eve story 1- when i was a kid i went from back length to an A frame and at least my hair went to kids who didn't have any, what is the stylist on??? also kinda creepy to keep, feel and burn your clients hair? yk witches can use ur hair to send bad stuff ur way(from experience) don't let people keep your cut off hair 😭 wow the stylist going after OPs card too what
@MrCrunchytime so i met this crazy pickme girl and we dated and it was like 5th grade but she kept my fucking hair and admitted it and said she uses them for "spells"
@MrCrunchytime years later we were still in the same friend group and she kept wondering if anything bads been happening lately to see if her "practice" worked off
Was thinking the exact same thing, I've never heard of barbers / hairdressers having separation fees. Sounds more like a scare tactic for this douche to retain clients.
It's the first time I've heard of it but maybe it's a big city thing. Edit: I just thought of this, there's not a separation fee but, there's normally a no show or canceling fee if the salon is very busy.
Story 1: There are some people that make locks or wigs out of cut hair, problem is OP didn't consent to it, and that is assuming that the stylist does this. All in all, the stylist is being creepy as heck and has definitely never faced consequences for this crap before
Story 1: The stylist needs a padded cell to stay in for a while. Either they’ll escalate this behavior or transfer it to someone else THEN escalate it.
I think it is, they added other stuff like "sand" and "potpourri" or at least that's what OP thought it was , sounds something like a soul tie or something
The last story is so wholesome 😂…reminds me of my family, where we spent like 10 years getting each other lemon cake for birthdays bc we all thought it was each other’s favorite flavor. Then one day it I mention it in passing to my dad, who goes “lemon? My favorite is double chocolate. Lemon’s your mother’s favorite”. To which my mom responds “my favorite’s not lemon, it’s coconut!”, and I say “omg coconut’s my fave too!”. It goes on like that for each family member until lo and behold, lemon is actually my *grandmother’s* favorite cake, and all these years she had successfully convinced everyone that each other’s favorite cake was lemon so that she could have it more often (on each person’s birthday) 😂😂
I have a Christmas themed story that ties into story 2 LOL. My SO made the mistake and told me and my family "I LOVE kraby patty gummies!" So for three years we have FILLED his stocking with them and nothing else! (dude had stock well into the new year LOL) This year he told me "don't get me any kraby patties this year..." At least he was able to correct his mistake after only 3 years LOL. (He still LOVES them he is just over having a stocking full every year.) Honestly the first year was a bit of a prank but he was so happy that first year we kept doing it till it was too much because in trying to make them happy you get blinded by that and it is hard to see what they really want.
when I was 16, my mom make 2 braids in my hair, take a scisor and choped, I feel dizzy almost trown up on the floor, she sayd it's because I didn't hear, she already told me numerous times for cut the hair so she take action. I think it take me a decade or little more to relax when someone touches my hair. But 24 years latter and I can't say I forget the feeling, so believe it's not just hair. Sorry I don't speak English
Imagine being Abilene, you're smack in the middle of Texas, you've got 125k residents, and what are you famous for? Some hypothetical family from nearby nowheresburg, Coleman, traveling to you and nobody particularly liking the trip. (I apologize to the residents of Coleman, Texas; but 4k is very small for a town, and you don't even have that.)
13:56 - 14:30 what is it with people and assuming that when you say you like something, you must be over the moon for it? my mom is the same way. i'll be like "mmm this food is good" or "this is fun" and she'll assume that's my favorite from then on and then be surprised when i inform her i got tired of the same thing all the time or wasn't a huge fan in the first place or that my tastes changed from when i was 5 years old 💀 like it's very, very sweet, and i appreciate the effort and thought put into it, but c'mon bro 💀
The last story reminds me of a story also read on this channel that said that a guy's mother made him peanut butter cookies for his birthday, the problem is that he's allergic to peanuts, so he just eats them and then uses the hell out of his medication to deal with the allergic symptoms.
About story 2, my husband and I just had an epiphany yesterday like that: we’re retired, been married for 17 years, and we discovered that each of us thought the other one wanted to go on a big trip to a particular place, and actually, neither of us did! Both of us were going along with what we thought the other wanted, out of love and politeness. LOL! 😆😆 I’m glad the truth came out!
11:00 Horror movie fodder! THE STYLIST The final cut is the one you don't see coming. Or Hair today, gone tomorrow! Creepy Lol I was thinking the same thing regarding the sharp instruments ... especially thinking about the comment of liking to burn the hair more than smell it and feel it. That really could be considered a direct threat! Even if not a direct threat, it's creepy and ominous.
I actually read that last story and added my own: My MIL made a honeycake for my FIL every Jewish New Year for over FIFTY years. Then one year he said "Honestly, I don't really like honeycake."
I'm a hairstylist and I've heard of small town salons keeping the hair clippings to give to local gardeners because the human scent scares the critters away. But I've never heard of someone keeping their clients hair to like.. feel it? That's so weird and stalkerish
There was an episode of the Sopranos where Tony visits a cousin in the Old Country. The cousin collected and burned every clipping she'd make, hair and nails. She lived by an old superstition that enemies could curse you with your clippings.
Dabney, you are correct. The hairdresser/Barber/stylist has ownership over the locks that have been cut away. Every area has a different set of laws but generally they have ownership of the discarded hairs and depending on the condition of those follicles they could turn around and sell to a wig maker. I believe in the old world's cure of no longer having headaches by asking for my discarded hair and I go and bury it in the yard.
Our family had a similar story 2. For the past couple of thanksgivings, someone has brought pumpkin pie, but no one eats it. Well, except for me. I would have a small slice because it's there, and it's only around at Thanksgiving. My favorite is Apple. One year, we finally took a poll for favorite pies. Everyone thought it was my favorite since I was the only one who ate it. Turns out, it was the favorite of my uncle who passed away years prior. It was just always a staple pie that was brought along with French Silk every year, no one questioned why.
Man, for 11 years. When I was in middle school I had recently discovered bagels with cream cheese, and I realized how much I liked it more than butter. However, I couldn't remember what it was called so the next time I was offered a bagel I asked for "whipped cream." Everyone was so weirded out, and thankfully I was shown a tub of cool whip so I realized I was saying it wrong. Took me another 3 minutes to remember that it was called "cream cheese." That incident didn't even last a day. I can't imagine doing this for 11 years.
As a stylist this is completely unacceptable and batcrap crazy. The only reason I’ve ever kept a clients hair is from a big cut to use as colour swatches/test colours and even then I ask the clients permission beforehand.
Lol, The second story reminds me of when I was a little kid. I don't know how I did it but I got Mushrooms mixed up with Marshmallows and I kept confusing my mom by asking her to buy "mushrooms" only to then get upset when she did and refused to eat them. It only became clear about 4 years later when I asked her to put mushrooms in my hot cocoa and then it clicked for her. "You mean marshmallows?" It's been nearly 30 years and I still have not heard the end of it.
Even if Chicken parm isn't you're favorite dish is it really a crime to get it a couple of times a month? also why not tell he spouse you've developed a taste for Alfredo and that that is your favorite meal now... I mean, why not eat both...
My grandma used to always get me a valentines heart filled the candies and stuff, the thing is I never liked some of the ones and only liked the solid chocolate ones lol
Merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone...1:HUH what the BEEP, why collect your making it even creepier was having your past hair from trims and had it dated. Wow just wow I would never go back and get a restraining order. Was the stylist going to make a body pillow or has a major crush on you.
for the first one, i was going to say that my family has always said to burn our hair so no one can do voodoo with it, so i assumed that the owners of the salon may be superstitious in that way and do that to protect their clients in their weird superstitious way but then the whole bag and sand shit kinda ruined that.. i'm so confused !! why are they doing that???
After seeing the title of the video I thought that it would be a case of the hairstylist scamming the client by stealing the hair to make wigs, but this was not what i expected lol. Wayyyyy unhinged.
OMG dude, your story about your mom and the chocolate covered cherries... My step-dad got me a bag of peanut M&M's for Christmas when I, too, was 7 and I really liked them at the time so now, even 30+ years later, he still gives me a bag of peanut M&M's every Christmas and I just don't have the heart to tell him I don't really have a sweet tooth any more. Didn't realize this was so common lol
When it comes to food, your tastes can and will change overtime. Sometime in my 20's I stopped liking tomato sauces. Basically I will eat tomato sauce, but it rare I will spend my money on it, but then once, maybe once a year, in a while that's the exact thing I want.
Regarding the last story I actually had the opposite happen. For years I thought i didn't like stuffing but when i made the turkey and stuffing this year for Thanksgiving I tried some and realized that i actually like it. I think I may of had a bad experience with stuffing as a child and thought I didn't like it
About the hair... As a former hair dresser, we were told it still belonged to the client. There was one exception; if the police come in with a warrant for it, you give it to them. However, if we throw it out, it's fair game for anyone to grab. Most salons now have a sort of vacuum built in they sweep the hair into and it drops it into bags you take out. With that, it's so mixed up with others it's no use. That hairdresser is unhinged. Seriously deranged. First, no one signs a contract for them to exclusively do their hair, so they can go elsewhere if they so desire with no repercussions. Second, the calls and messages are just pure harassment, nothing more. She was right to get the police involved. The hairdresser actually sounds dangerous. One thing you didn't mention about the use for the hair is for a religious ritual. Pagans, Wiccans, Voodoo, etc. use hair in plenty of things. Depending on your belief, it could be considered 'dangerous'.
I was out having dinner in China. I treated something I really didn't like. When asked if I like it, I was polite, " oh, it's good" They shoveled loads on my plate. I later confessed and got a huge laugh. Life lesson: no need to be polite if you don't like food in China.
I was having lunch one day during my college years with a Chinese student. She was asking me questions and practicing her English. When she commented that her meal was "cool", I asked her if it was cold. She said she meant that she liked it. We then had a fun conversation about how to word our opinions/observations about food. I remember telling her that if someone offered her a dish that she didn't like, she could maintain politeness by commenting that it was "interesting".
1st story.. so, I think I know what's up with this. A good friend of mine had told me something about his deceased wife's cultural traditions. She was Malaysian and when he had gone to Malaysia (or when family visited here), he found out that the people there would take every hair caught in their combs every day and all their nail clippings after trimming their nails and put it all in a jar with a lid. They'd then bury it somewhere so that anyone that wanted to use some in order to put a hex, curse or to create an effigy- like a doll, in their likeness, they couldn't find it easily- or at all, to do so. So, if OP's hairdresser is Asian, that may be what's up with that. And, if that's the case, then I feel like OP should feel complimented because she's actually looking out for her spiritual well-being, right? I'm surprised that rSlash wouldn't have heard of this before- considering his wife's Chinese heritage and all.. but, I'm sure it's not done EVERYWHERE in Asian countries. However, I would like to know if she's heard of this before or if her family has similar traditions in their history too! Would love update on it. I'll give him 0 out of 5 buttholes if he does!
As a former hair stylist: I’m almost positive if OP reports it to their state’s cosmetology/barber board, they’d have a field day with it. Especially with the stylist harassing her as much as they did
The Pamisan story: huge green flags! From the wife! No anger, no upset, just a barrage of laughter! From the OP: just appreciating the effort for all the years and accepting your fate 😂
I remember reading the chicken parmesan story on reddit and I think the top comment was along the lines of "tell her 'wife I love the way you make it but let's try Chicken Alfredo' then after say 'oh wow I think I have a new favorite'". I guess OP didn't do it that way 😂😂😂
Last story: We have a word for this in Farsi, which is "taarof" (tar-oaf). My grandfather is best at it. Whenever he's offered something, he says he doesn't need it, but he's "taarof-ing."
Some hair stylists take hair and make wigs out of them. I assume hair that's cut is considered discarded trash and as a result it's free game if someone wants to keep it.
Is it just me or have the crazies been more active lately? I mean, we got the semen demon, the sleep saturator and now a hairsence, all in like what? Three months?
Omg bro I have the exact same story about those chocolate coved cherry with the cream inside, My mom gos out of her way to get me a few boxes every single Christmas, and I’m too worried about hurting her feeling by telling her because it’s such a sweat gesture and my mom is the nices, sweetest, caring mother I could ever imagine
The second story reminds me of another story I heard where this guy on his first date asked for salt for his coffee instead of sugar. He was to nervous to correct himself so he assured his date and the server that he really does put salt in his coffer. Fast forward something like 30years and he married that girl and everyday she puts salt in his coffee "just like he likes". I can't remember the ending, either it continues or he confessed on his death bed.
About the stylist. It would have been a WAY more believable and acceptable reason to give a customer if the stylist just said that their weird collection of hair was kept to make a wig for a relative with cancer. Most people would be like "oh, I'm sorry. Sure, you can keep the hair". Well, that would be my reaction at least, though I don't really care what people do with my hair once it's no longer attached to me. Though, the stylist should simply have asked if they could keep the hair before or during the cutting/ styling.
The last story reminds me of a mistake I made all the time as a kid. I would ask for meatloaf for dinner, but I actually wanted roastbeef. I just kept switching the names. I did it so many times.
Not only was the “stylist” doing some weird freaky stuff with OP’s hair, but they ALSO sent texts of harassment, threats and such! I’d take the texts and record the messages to the police and show them about this, and even to the owner/manager of the styling place! The stylist is making up bs excuses just to try and keep OP for their “weird and freaky hair fetish” crap! Take that stylist to court and sue them, then file a restraining order against them! It also helps if you let others on social media know what’s going on, especially if they go to the same styling place OP went to. What the stylist is doing is just a major red flag. If they did that against OP, they’ll do it to someone else, so I hope this person gets fired and blacklisted from doing hair care jobs!
First story: that does seem a little odd, but: 1. It's not your property anymore. 2. One person's trash is another person's treasure. Maybe they're using it for some sort of art? The stylist's response phone calls/voicemails were crazy and unhinged, and it did turn into harassment.
I can see why the second OP might have mixed chicken parmesan and chicken alfredo up. One of the defining ingredients in alfredo is parmesan cheese, so the taste is definitely there, and for someone who maybe isn't that much of a cook, it's a reasonable thing to say, off hand, by accident. Hell, I've called a cobbler a pie, before, and I love to bake. But OP is kind of an idiot for not pulling his wife aside after the first mixup and saying "Hey, the chicken parm was great, thank you for making it, but I misspoke, I actually like chicken alfredo".
I'm not an attorney but son of one. My dad mentioned that they could get DNA off of discarded cigarettes and even one case from a removed organ from a hospital. ( not his cases) Because it's considered public property at that point. Probably could do the same with hair, I think.
The lobe connection of my left ear was accidentally cut when my grandmother was cutting my hair once. I was a very skittish child, always wanting to be on the move. I have no memory of this actually happening. I wonder if my brain erased the memory of the moment to protect me. For year's until I was 16 I was deathly afraid of anyone cutting my hair.
The first one is going into unhinged territory, honestly. Good on the stylist to actually send that insanity to OP on text messages so we have evidence of their misdeeds...
I agree it is actually legal for him to have the hair. Weird but legal. It counts as discarded property. OP chose to leave it on his floor, so now it's his to do what he wants with.
Yes, I think it’s essentially trash, but since the stylist is a licensed professional, I think it’s reasonable for clients to expect their hair to be discarded and not kept as mementos. Like you expect a doctor to destroy anything they remove from your body and not keep souvenirs. I hope that stylist gets help.
Being licensed makes the situation quite simple, yeah. Just like going to a dentist, it's expected they dispose of your teeth if they were to remove them and you could easily sue them over that. But i do wonder what happens in a more casual setting, like for example, what if the person cutting OP's hair was just a friend. Would there still exist a case there? Or would it actually become the friend's property?
I don't know the law in the usa but here in belgium cut hair is technically the property of the client not the hairdresser and you can ask to take them with you and some wig makers actually buy good hair for a decent price... the more you know...
Funnily enough, from a legal standpoint, the potpourri hair might be a crime as several states in the US have an "understood expectation of service" where hair, to be used for any purpose beyond disposal, must be done so with client consent. I remember this from when the whole Locks of Love company wanted to make wigs from human hair for cancer patients, and these laws were part of the issue with their original setup.
This is what I was thinking. But I have no legal education or training, I just watch a lot of body cam footage and Court cams😅
That's why we as stylists can't fill out the donation forms. The client has to do it themselves
@@spherecleaning3606 My younger daughter, a licensed beautician, confirms this...at least for our state. If this stylist has a license she/he is going to be losing it.
What was the original setup? 😳😳
I think you could even find a loophole in this instance. If the stylist just throws away the hair in a bag, all by itself, they can come back later on their own and take it out of the dumpster. Because as long as the trash isn’t locked anyone can go through it legally.
Legally speaking, once Hair is cut off it's classified as Biological Waste and must be disposed of in the same manner that thing like used bandages or toiletries.
My mom’s a hair stylist. One time for my for my forensic science class we were doing a unit on hair and I asked my mom if she could give me some of her client’s hair. She gave it to me, but only after she got the express consent of her client to use it in any way other than disposing of it. You’re not allowed to use a clients hair for other purposes without asking first.
The first story just screams "It rubs the lotion on the skin or it gets the hose again" vibes and that gets creepy here.
PRECIOUS!! DON'T YOU HURT MY LITTLE DOG!
So long as they are only cutting your hair. 😂
“Goodbye horses!
I’m flying over you!”
I was thinking more Sweeney Todd 😅
@@fnvfan0145to be fair, I imagine Sweeney Todd and Buffalo Bill would kinda get each other.
After reading story 1, I would rather have a stylist who completely butchers my hair but is at least a decent person rather than a brilliant stylist who is a full on creep! Hair is temporary but trauma is almost forever!
How about neither? I can butcher my own hair for free. 😂
@@mariposa9506 my mom cuts mine, she is rather good at it too
@@dinlupus3196my mom cut mine during the pandemic because it was bothering me and i couldn't get a haircut, and it came it pretty good.
And hey, at least a bad stylist can learn to do the job better
LOOOL “we have a fee for leaving our services”
…i would be VERY curious as to how they enforce that
There is such a thing as contract cancelation fees, but like OP said, she didn't sign a contract with this stylist.
Small Claims. Probably something like “loss of wages.”
yeah that was just them desperately attempting to salvage the situation, gaslight OP into not going somewhere else, or maybe even telling anyone else, although it didn't seem like they realized it was as weird as it actually is
@@lekiscoolI've never been to small claims. How good are the chances for that claim? Wouldn't it be discarded outright?
@lekiscool not applicable if the stylist ain't contracted by OP. going repeatedly does not constitute a contract. OP is not obliged to cut their hair and go to that stylist at any point in time wth 😂
A story taking up over half the vid always means we're in for one hell of a journey
The fact that them trying to cancel OP's credit card is the most "normal" thing happening in the story is scary AF
I love this one. Mark covered it last week. I was waiting on Dab. His narrative style is peak Cinema
They probaly were thinking they could just charge her card the extortion fee but was pissed when they couldn't so they figured cancelling the card was the next "best move" for them to make. (I only say the first part because it is odd for them to jump right to canceling it.) Still crazy...
Oz covered it recently too, it's a wild one
@@SailorMya That or if OP isn't going to pay for services at their place then they can't pay anywhere else.
From what I can tell, it is in fact illegal to keep someone's hair after cutting it in the same way the surgeon isn't allowed to just keep organs they pull put of you. The law doesn't actually make a clear difference between types of body parts. I mean, a lawyer could absolutely argue hair doesn't count as a body part, but they'd do so knowing that they'd spend the rest of their career as the 'hair sex doll lawyer' whether they won or lost lol.
Well I looked into that and found something different.
We have the Moore v. Regents of the University of California (1990). This case established that a patient has no property interest in the ownership of his cells AFTER they were removed from him during medical treatment.
Since there is no clear law on the matter, a judge would most likely use this case as a precedent
Henrietta lacks may have something to say about this. Her cancer cells have been a staple of the medical science industry for something like 60 years, completely unconsented. HeLa cells have made literal billions in profit and NONE of it went to the family.
I thought police regularly got "discarded" hair from trash bags, the same way they collect DNA samples from a soda or coffee cup that had been thrown away, with the law being that anything that's been thrown away as garbage is fair game?
@@solenediridollou5550 Whichever source is right, them winning is wrong XD Also could be a state by state thing no matter how much it shouldn't be.
@jjr9792 hair doesnt have dna, its the roots that do
This hairstylist sounds seriously unfringed
Love a bad pun have my comment and a like
I had to fight to like instead of dislike this. Well done pun.
1st story: If that guy was saving the hair to send off for making wigs for cancer patients, that would be one thing, but the fact that he was just keeping it with OPs name on it is beyond creepy
What makes you think the stylist is a guy? Most stylists are women and the gender was never stated.
@aghollingsworth r/slash is the one who made it sound like a guy and also assumed it's a guy, so people are gonna say "guy" in general. Also the hair industry is heavily filled with men... don't be weird about them saying "guy"
The stylist was almost definitely a woman. There were a lot of clues to suggest they were a woman. Rslashs bias against men is getting really bad. He's auto inserting men as the villains even when context clues make it obvious the person was a woman or giving lower judgments to women and higher ones to men. it's honestly distracting from watching him lately at how bad it's getting. I'm not even a man and would be considered pretty rabidly liberal, and even I'm getting kind of disturbed by it now. The judgment with the wife who beat her husband and abused her gay son was one of the worst, too. Women can be bad, and the majority of men aren't bad either. And if a woman does something bad, it isn't any less severe than if a man did it. Rslash really needs some introspection.
He read in the beginning of the story that “the new stylist is in her 40’s”. Either way the whole thing is beyond terrifying.
You still have to get consent for that though
My husband is a lawyer (I graduated law school), and it is illegal to keep the hair! Essentially, the hair is owned by OP even after it’s been cut, but a hair stylist is given implied consent to dispose of the hair. It’s an expected part of the services rendered. For example, if you take Yugo to a dog daycare, he isn’t legally their dog while he’s in their care. He is still legally your property even though they have consent to take care of him on your behalf.
Yes! This! I'm not a lawyer but I was under the impression that getting your hair cut as a service implied that part of the service was disposal of hair clippings. Similar to a kind of contract I guess? Glad to know I was partially accurate.
I know there are some non-profit organizations that take hair scraps and turn them into mats that help clean up oil spills in water- hair soaks up oil really well! I wonder how that fits into this legal framework. Maybe just asking/informing the client and see if they want to opt out? Hm
You can't extract DNA from hair that has been cut or clipped, just pulled. You need a root to extract DNA
You can get mitochondrial DNA tho which can be used for exclusionary purposes in a court of law, but not for identification.
Not relevant here but a fun DNA fact.
Some companies claim they can now get DNA from rootless hair. And you could still get mitochondrial dna from it regardless.
So, I'm not a stylist or lawyer, but I've been getting haircuts for 35+ years. Every time, they have either swept my hair off the floor to be thrown out or set it aside for donations to wig makers. I assume there are probably rules that people have to follow with hair disposal and donation and considering how creepy that stylist was they weren't getting rid of it or donating it.
Absolutely. It's part of the licensing exam funny enough
You still own your hair, even if you cut it at a hair salon. The stylist has temporary access to it to perform the service, and they do not legally claim ownership of your hair once it's cut.
Isn’t it also a biohazard too?
Right it's still genetic material. If that were true then every hospital has the right to any organ they yank out...but they don't, they can't even donate organs from the dead unless they gave permission to be an organ donar
@@kelsmister Yes, hair is a physical and biological hazard. Physical hazard for choking like food/drink wise or injury like slipping on it and hurting yourself.
Only if you request it. Cut hair is basically considered waste because most people don't want it back, so it's the job of the stylist to dispose of it in the correct way. It doesn't all end up in landfills because you can send it to a factory that turns the keratin into a type of gelatin, there is a company that uses it to absorb oil spills in the ocean or I heard it can be used to repell wild boars (not sure how tho). Alternatively you can donate it by essentially passing the ownership to whoever gets the wig. If your hair is used for purposes outside of these few without informing you and without your consent it could be considered a crime.
It works the same in hospitals where if you have a biopsy or an amputation it gets either incinerated, sent to a lab to study it, used in transplants or you can keep it like many of us keep our baby teeth.
@@mv_03 "waste" is probably the right category. My first thought was "abandoned goods" once the client leaves the salon.
For starters, it's sweet after 11 years she still goes out of her way to make what she thinks is his favorite. Been married almost 15 years, and small things like that are a huge positive in a relationship.
And no, it's not too late. They'll likely laugh about it.
Now I have to reevaluate my life to make sure I'm not forcing people to take something that I thought they liked. My mom really lives Ferrero Roche chocolates, and we gift it to her every year for her birthday or Christmas. I'm now wondering if she secretly hates them and is just accepting it out of politeness lol
That last story though. I miss chicken parmesan sandwiches so much. The ones I liked as a kid in particular had the patties in one of those disposable pans that were caked in tomato sauce and cheese that you would thaw out and cook atop the stove. Obviously a huge mess, but it tasted SO good that way.
Was it really so difficult after the first chicken parm to say “this was really delicious, you’re a great cook. But I realize I meant to say my favorite food was chicken Alfredo”
You still compliment her cooking while also getting your real favorite next time.
Story 2: This reminds me of the "Hawaiian Pizza" where my mother thought my father liked it, and my father thought my mother liked it. And it took till I was like 16~17 to ask "Hey why do we keep getting Hawaiian?" and then everything came spilling out, that neither actually preferred Hawaiian over other kinds. Want a crazy twist though? My brother ended up liking Hawaiian Pizza.
When I was four or five, I used to call chow mein, Chinese spaghetti, and tacos, bent chips. My parents still don’t let me live it down.
4:10 I've got one of those stories too. When I was in high school on a camping trip there were all these turtles trying to migrate across a road. Every time I encountered one I'd pick it up by the side of the shell and carry it across the road in the direction it was heading. After that one day, for probably the next 15 years for christmas, my mom would get me turtle-themed things.
Eventually one year she explained her thinking. When I was little I loved TMNT, didn't want to eat turtle soup, then like 7 years later I was helping turtles. And somehow she took those three events (which were entirely unrelated except for the coincidence that they all invovled turtles) to mean that I was a huge fan of turtles. So she'd buy me all these turtle things, porcelain decorations, a big clay sculpted tortoise, some other things. I still have that tortoise sculpture, it's a pretty nice piece just objectively speaking.
*First OP:* I remember this story from Oz Media! That schitt was wild.
Did anyone else catch rSlash clapping when the 👏 emoji appeared? 😂 That was a nice touch.
The stylist tried to cancel OP's credit card?! BRO?!
I hope the client in the TikTok sued the stylist. What an idiot!
*Second OP:* That was a nice palate cleanser after the first story. In OP's defense, both dishes have the word "chicken" in it, so it's an easy mistake to make. 😛
12:07 “there’s no rule that says a dog can’t play basketball!”
Story 2: I would’ve just found a fancy restaurant that has chicken Alfredo, take her out for dinner, order the chicken Alfredo and say “I think this is my new favorite!”
Gotdamm! What in the window licking crazy?! And people wonder why everyone's paranoid and no one trusts anyone. 😳
Wait... window licking is crazy now? That certainly explains a few of my restraining orders... /s
It's fun listening to all you guys tell stories about how people in your life think something was your favorite thing ever so they made it for you all the time. Meanwhile I have had the same conversation with my mom about meatloaf multiple times my entire life.
Mom: " do you want me to make a meatloaf."
Me: no, definitely not.
Mom: Why not?
Me: I don't like meatloaf.
Mom: Since when?
Me: since the first time we had this conversation nearly 30 years ago and every time you bring up meatloaf.
Ok, the stylist story is so creepy. The relationship with a stylist is so intimate. You tell them everything. So this story..
Sweeney Todd
I dunno who Sweeney Todd is but this reminds me of freaky Fred from courage.
was waiting for somebody to say it!
@@hollytheanimalcrossingfanIt's a musical/ movie about a Barber serial killer that murders his clients and sends the bodies to a woman that's obsessed with him who then turns them into meat pies and sells them to people. I think its alternative name is The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
@@AngelaTimmons-m2h thinking more Buffalo Bill with the obsession with the hair. Sweeney Todd is a murderer seeking justice and not a creep.
I actually looked into the legality of keeping the client's hairs.
There is no clear law about that. However, we have some precedent (Stare decisis) case that would make the judgement go in favor of the stylist (Moore v. Regents of the University of California: A patient has no property interest in his cells after they were removed during medical treatment.)
On one hand the stylist can claim that by getting her hair cut, the client abandonned her ownership to them. He can also claim that the industry standard implied a transfer of possession and ownership of the cut hair to the salon.
On the other, the client can claim emotional distress and the fact that she ONLY consented to the haircut (And not to her hair being retained for other uses)
Basically, in a legal case, the stylist would probably be in the clear (For retaining the hair). But obviously, it doesn't take into consideration the psychotic behavior of the stylist (Which would influence the judgement)
As discarded hair is considered human waste, cut hair is owned by the stylist/barber to legally dispose of. However you can ask for some/all of it back if you want to donate it/make it into a wig.
" Everyone loves mcdonald's when secretly no one loves mcdonald's."
Meanwhile I am watching this video while sitting in a mcdonald's parking lot eating my mcdonald's breakfast. 😂
Last story: my favorite story about this situation was one I think I heard here a few years ago. The OP’s grandparents were married for many years and every Christmas (i think) the grandpa always got the same candy for his wife because he thought they were her favorites. The grandpa passes away and a few years after grandma remarries, step-grandpa’s decides to get the same candy for their first Christmas as a married couple to restart the tradition. When Grandma gets the candy she instantly throws them out and says something like “I’m not doing this again! I hate those candies! I spent 40 years eating those candies and I refuse to spend the rest of my life eating them again!”
My grandmother once made the mistake of saying she liked pigs. I'm not sure of the context as I was a child, but for the next few decades until she passed, she would regularly receive pig-based gifts. Pig paintings, crystal pigs, dishes with pigs on them, etc... It took her so long to tell us she didn't like pigs all that much that it was far too late to stop our weird family tradition
I know that keeping the hair was crazy and all, but what really scares me is how the stylist had no idea that harassing OP was a criminal offense. They sent her threatening texts and voicemail, tried to extort her, tried to cancel her card, and was completely unhinged!
It makes you wonder what reality they live in where they think this behavior is normal and not illegal. I almost wonder if they used harassment and verbal abuse to get what they want all their life
goood morning rslashers and merry eve
story 1- when i was a kid i went from back length to an A frame and at least my hair went to kids who didn't have any, what is the stylist on??? also kinda creepy to keep, feel and burn your clients hair? yk witches can use ur hair to send bad stuff ur way(from experience) don't let people keep your cut off hair 😭 wow the stylist going after OPs card too what
I was *just* thinking that it sounded like some sort of spell jar
"From experience"
Could you elaborate on that? For scientific reasons, of course.
@MrCrunchytime so i met this crazy pickme girl and we dated and it was like 5th grade but she kept my fucking hair and admitted it and said she uses them for "spells"
@MrCrunchytime years later we were still in the same friend group and she kept wondering if anything bads been happening lately to see if her "practice" worked off
Merry Christmas Eve!
Merry Christmas
You too!
Edit spelling. This is what happens when I try to do too many things at once. Lol
You too and have a nice day.
Merry Christmas :)
i don't really know how stylists work but separation fee sounds illegal espeally one with an extreme amount of money
Was thinking the exact same thing, I've never heard of barbers / hairdressers having separation fees. Sounds more like a scare tactic for this douche to retain clients.
It's the first time I've heard of it but maybe it's a big city thing.
Edit: I just thought of this, there's not a separation fee but, there's normally a no show or canceling fee if the salon is very busy.
Story 1: There are some people that make locks or wigs out of cut hair, problem is OP didn't consent to it, and that is assuming that the stylist does this.
All in all, the stylist is being creepy as heck and has definitely never faced consequences for this crap before
Story 1: The stylist needs a padded cell to stay in for a while.
Either they’ll escalate this behavior or transfer it to someone else THEN escalate it.
5:57 bro cutting hair cannot be THAT deep😭😭😭
Lowkey, I thought it was voodoo. Its a good thing it wasn't voodoo
I think it is, they added other stuff like "sand" and "potpourri" or at least that's what OP thought it was , sounds something like a soul tie or something
1st story: OP, THEY’RE DOING BLACK MAGIC ON YOU, either destroy it before they finish the jar or take it to a professional
same thing i’m thinking
Would rather hear "we gatto go bald" than "your hair looks better when it burns"
The last story is so wholesome 😂…reminds me of my family, where we spent like 10 years getting each other lemon cake for birthdays bc we all thought it was each other’s favorite flavor. Then one day it I mention it in passing to my dad, who goes “lemon? My favorite is double chocolate. Lemon’s your mother’s favorite”. To which my mom responds “my favorite’s not lemon, it’s coconut!”, and I say “omg coconut’s my fave too!”. It goes on like that for each family member until lo and behold, lemon is actually my *grandmother’s* favorite cake, and all these years she had successfully convinced everyone that each other’s favorite cake was lemon so that she could have it more often (on each person’s birthday) 😂😂
Stuffed peppers, now that does sound good. This is making me hungry...
I have a Christmas themed story that ties into story 2 LOL. My SO made the mistake and told me and my family "I LOVE kraby patty gummies!" So for three years we have FILLED his stocking with them and nothing else! (dude had stock well into the new year LOL) This year he told me "don't get me any kraby patties this year..." At least he was able to correct his mistake after only 3 years LOL. (He still LOVES them he is just over having a stocking full every year.) Honestly the first year was a bit of a prank but he was so happy that first year we kept doing it till it was too much because in trying to make them happy you get blinded by that and it is hard to see what they really want.
when I was 16, my mom make 2 braids in my hair, take a scisor and choped, I feel dizzy almost trown up on the floor, she sayd it's because I didn't hear, she already told me numerous times for cut the hair so she take action. I think it take me a decade or little more to relax when someone touches my hair. But 24 years latter and I can't say I forget the feeling, so believe it's not just hair. Sorry I don't speak English
Imagine being Abilene, you're smack in the middle of Texas, you've got 125k residents, and what are you famous for? Some hypothetical family from nearby nowheresburg, Coleman, traveling to you and nobody particularly liking the trip. (I apologize to the residents of Coleman, Texas; but 4k is very small for a town, and you don't even have that.)
13:56 - 14:30
what is it with people and assuming that when you say you like something, you must be over the moon for it? my mom is the same way. i'll be like "mmm this food is good" or "this is fun" and she'll assume that's my favorite from then on and then be surprised when i inform her i got tired of the same thing all the time or wasn't a huge fan in the first place or that my tastes changed from when i was 5 years old 💀
like it's very, very sweet, and i appreciate the effort and thought put into it, but c'mon bro 💀
I was hoping the stylist was donating hair for locks of love but damn this turned Norman Bates mode real quick
That second story is so adorably wholesome. I’m a romantic and would love more stories like that.
Story 1: this is beyond creepy, technically it’s their hair but it doesn’t mean it’s any less creepy 😂
The last story reminds me of a story also read on this channel that said that a guy's mother made him peanut butter cookies for his birthday, the problem is that he's allergic to peanuts, so he just eats them and then uses the hell out of his medication to deal with the allergic symptoms.

About story 2, my husband and I just had an epiphany yesterday like that: we’re retired, been married for 17 years, and we discovered that each of us thought the other one wanted to go on a big trip to a particular place, and actually, neither of us did! Both of us were going along with what we thought the other wanted, out of love and politeness. LOL! 😆😆 I’m glad the truth came out!

Horror movie fodder!
THE STYLIST
The final cut is the one you don't see coming.
Or
Hair today, gone tomorrow!
Creepy Lol
I was thinking the same thing regarding the sharp instruments ... especially thinking about the comment of liking to burn the hair more than smell it and feel it. That really could be considered a direct threat! Even if not a direct threat, it's creepy and ominous.
I actually read that last story and added my own:
My MIL made a honeycake for my FIL every Jewish New Year for over FIFTY years.
Then one year he said "Honestly, I don't really like honeycake."
5:01 what was that message? All of that was unhinged. What was going on in that guy’s head?
"Come back to me for hair cutting services and let me keep your hair, and I won't make you into a lamp shade."
Has anyone else noticed how consistent r/slash views are we must all just come here every day for the video 😂😂
I'm a hairstylist and I've heard of small town salons keeping the hair clippings to give to local gardeners because the human scent scares the critters away. But I've never heard of someone keeping their clients hair to like.. feel it? That's so weird and stalkerish
There was an episode of the Sopranos where Tony visits a cousin in the Old Country.
The cousin collected and burned every clipping she'd make, hair and nails. She lived by an old superstition that enemies could curse you with your clippings.
Story 1:Creepy doesn't begin to describe this "stylist"
Dabney, you are correct. The hairdresser/Barber/stylist has ownership over the locks that have been cut away. Every area has a different set of laws but generally they have ownership of the discarded hairs and depending on the condition of those follicles they could turn around and sell to a wig maker. I believe in the old world's cure of no longer having headaches by asking for my discarded hair and I go and bury it in the yard.
Our family had a similar story 2. For the past couple of thanksgivings, someone has brought pumpkin pie, but no one eats it. Well, except for me. I would have a small slice because it's there, and it's only around at Thanksgiving. My favorite is Apple.
One year, we finally took a poll for favorite pies. Everyone thought it was my favorite since I was the only one who ate it. Turns out, it was the favorite of my uncle who passed away years prior. It was just always a staple pie that was brought along with French Silk every year, no one questioned why.
Man, for 11 years. When I was in middle school I had recently discovered bagels with cream cheese, and I realized how much I liked it more than butter. However, I couldn't remember what it was called so the next time I was offered a bagel I asked for "whipped cream." Everyone was so weirded out, and thankfully I was shown a tub of cool whip so I realized I was saying it wrong. Took me another 3 minutes to remember that it was called "cream cheese." That incident didn't even last a day. I can't imagine doing this for 11 years.
As a stylist this is completely unacceptable and batcrap crazy. The only reason I’ve ever kept a clients hair is from a big cut to use as colour swatches/test colours and even then I ask the clients permission beforehand.
Lol, The second story reminds me of when I was a little kid. I don't know how I did it but I got Mushrooms mixed up with Marshmallows and I kept confusing my mom by asking her to buy "mushrooms" only to then get upset when she did and refused to eat them. It only became clear about 4 years later when I asked her to put mushrooms in my hot cocoa and then it clicked for her. "You mean marshmallows?"
It's been nearly 30 years and I still have not heard the end of it.
Even if Chicken parm isn't you're favorite dish is it really a crime to get it a couple of times a month? also why not tell he spouse you've developed a taste for Alfredo and that that is your favorite meal now... I mean, why not eat both...
Right?
After 11 years of loving practice, I have to imagine my wife's Chicken Parmesan would have become my favorite meal.
Merry Christmas Eve everyone!!!! I hope you have a happy Christmas :D
My grandma used to always get me a valentines heart filled the candies and stuff, the thing is I never liked some of the ones and only liked the solid chocolate ones lol
Merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone...1:HUH what the BEEP, why collect your making it even creepier was having your past hair from trims and had it dated. Wow just wow I would never go back and get a restraining order. Was the stylist going to make a body pillow or has a major crush on you.
for the first one, i was going to say that my family has always said to burn our hair so no one can do voodoo with it, so i assumed that the owners of the salon may be superstitious in that way and do that to protect their clients in their weird superstitious way but then the whole bag and sand shit kinda ruined that.. i'm so confused !! why are they doing that???
After seeing the title of the video I thought that it would be a case of the hairstylist scamming the client by stealing the hair to make wigs, but this was not what i expected lol. Wayyyyy unhinged.
OMG dude, your story about your mom and the chocolate covered cherries... My step-dad got me a bag of peanut M&M's for Christmas when I, too, was 7 and I really liked them at the time so now, even 30+ years later, he still gives me a bag of peanut M&M's every Christmas and I just don't have the heart to tell him I don't really have a sweet tooth any more. Didn't realize this was so common lol
When it comes to food, your tastes can and will change overtime. Sometime in my 20's I stopped liking tomato sauces. Basically I will eat tomato sauce, but it rare I will spend my money on it, but then once, maybe once a year, in a while that's the exact thing I want.
Regarding the last story I actually had the opposite happen. For years I thought i didn't like stuffing but when i made the turkey and stuffing this year for Thanksgiving I tried some and realized that i actually like it. I think I may of had a bad experience with stuffing as a child and thought I didn't like it
About the hair...
As a former hair dresser, we were told it still belonged to the client. There was one exception; if the police come in with a warrant for it, you give it to them. However, if we throw it out, it's fair game for anyone to grab. Most salons now have a sort of vacuum built in they sweep the hair into and it drops it into bags you take out. With that, it's so mixed up with others it's no use.
That hairdresser is unhinged. Seriously deranged. First, no one signs a contract for them to exclusively do their hair, so they can go elsewhere if they so desire with no repercussions. Second, the calls and messages are just pure harassment, nothing more. She was right to get the police involved. The hairdresser actually sounds dangerous.
One thing you didn't mention about the use for the hair is for a religious ritual. Pagans, Wiccans, Voodoo, etc. use hair in plenty of things. Depending on your belief, it could be considered 'dangerous'.
You'll never catch me eating something i hate out of "politeness"
12:24 i think this is more of a lawsuit thing than an illegal-legal kind of thing...or a civil thing instead or a criminal thing.
I was out having dinner in China. I treated something I really didn't like. When asked if I like it, I was polite, " oh, it's good"
They shoveled loads on my plate. I later confessed and got a huge laugh.
Life lesson: no need to be polite if you don't like food in China.
I was having lunch one day during my college years with a Chinese student. She was asking me questions and practicing her English. When she commented that her meal was "cool", I asked her if it was cold. She said she meant that she liked it. We then had a fun conversation about how to word our opinions/observations about food. I remember telling her that if someone offered her a dish that she didn't like, she could maintain politeness by commenting that it was "interesting".
1st story.. so, I think I know what's up with this.
A good friend of mine had told me something about his deceased wife's cultural traditions. She was Malaysian and when he had gone to Malaysia (or when family visited here), he found out that the people there would take every hair caught in their combs every day and all their nail clippings after trimming their nails and put it all in a jar with a lid. They'd then bury it somewhere so that anyone that wanted to use some in order to put a hex, curse or to create an effigy- like a doll, in their likeness, they couldn't find it easily- or at all, to do so. So, if OP's hairdresser is Asian, that may be what's up with that. And, if that's the case, then I feel like OP should feel complimented because she's actually looking out for her spiritual well-being, right?
I'm surprised that rSlash wouldn't have heard of this before- considering his wife's Chinese heritage and all.. but, I'm sure it's not done EVERYWHERE in Asian countries. However, I would like to know if she's heard of this before or if her family has similar traditions in their history too! Would love update on it. I'll give him 0 out of 5 buttholes if he does!
As a former hair stylist: I’m almost positive if OP reports it to their state’s cosmetology/barber board, they’d have a field day with it. Especially with the stylist harassing her as much as they did
The Pamisan story: huge green flags! From the wife! No anger, no upset, just a barrage of laughter! From the OP: just appreciating the effort for all the years and accepting your fate 😂
I remember reading the chicken parmesan story on reddit and I think the top comment was along the lines of "tell her 'wife I love the way you make it but let's try Chicken Alfredo' then after say 'oh wow I think I have a new favorite'". I guess OP didn't do it that way 😂😂😂
Last story: We have a word for this in Farsi, which is "taarof" (tar-oaf). My grandfather is best at it. Whenever he's offered something, he says he doesn't need it, but he's "taarof-ing."
Some hair stylists take hair and make wigs out of them. I assume hair that's cut is considered discarded trash and as a result it's free game if someone wants to keep it.
Is it just me or have the crazies been more active lately? I mean, we got the semen demon, the sleep saturator and now a hairsence, all in like what? Three months?
Omg bro I have the exact same story about those chocolate coved cherry with the cream inside,
My mom gos out of her way to get me a few boxes every single Christmas, and I’m too worried about hurting her feeling by telling her because it’s such a sweat gesture and my mom is the nices, sweetest, caring mother I could ever imagine
I just regift them to other people and maybe have one once every few years and instantly remember why I don’t eat them
Man the hairstylist is just a few steps away from being freaky Fred
The second story reminds me of another story I heard where this guy on his first date asked for salt for his coffee instead of sugar. He was to nervous to correct himself so he assured his date and the server that he really does put salt in his coffer. Fast forward something like 30years and he married that girl and everyday she puts salt in his coffee "just like he likes". I can't remember the ending, either it continues or he confessed on his death bed.
About the stylist. It would have been a WAY more believable and acceptable reason to give a customer if the stylist just said that their weird collection of hair was kept to make a wig for a relative with cancer. Most people would be like "oh, I'm sorry. Sure, you can keep the hair". Well, that would be my reaction at least, though I don't really care what people do with my hair once it's no longer attached to me. Though, the stylist should simply have asked if they could keep the hair before or during the cutting/ styling.
The last story reminds me of a mistake I made all the time as a kid. I would ask for meatloaf for dinner, but I actually wanted roastbeef. I just kept switching the names. I did it so many times.
Not only was the “stylist” doing some weird freaky stuff with OP’s hair, but they ALSO sent texts of harassment, threats and such!
I’d take the texts and record the messages to the police and show them about this, and even to the owner/manager of the styling place!
The stylist is making up bs excuses just to try and keep OP for their “weird and freaky hair fetish” crap! Take that stylist to court and sue them, then file a restraining order against them!
It also helps if you let others on social media know what’s going on, especially if they go to the same styling place OP went to.
What the stylist is doing is just a major red flag. If they did that against OP, they’ll do it to someone else, so I hope this person gets fired and blacklisted from doing hair care jobs!
First story: that does seem a little odd, but: 1. It's not your property anymore.
2. One person's trash is another person's treasure. Maybe they're using it for some sort of art?
The stylist's response phone calls/voicemails were crazy and unhinged, and it did turn into harassment.
I can see why the second OP might have mixed chicken parmesan and chicken alfredo up. One of the defining ingredients in alfredo is parmesan cheese, so the taste is definitely there, and for someone who maybe isn't that much of a cook, it's a reasonable thing to say, off hand, by accident. Hell, I've called a cobbler a pie, before, and I love to bake. But OP is kind of an idiot for not pulling his wife aside after the first mixup and saying "Hey, the chicken parm was great, thank you for making it, but I misspoke, I actually like chicken alfredo".
Chicken Parm: oh God I think I'd have just come clean the second or third time, certainly not eleven years, yikes 😂
I'm not an attorney but son of one. My dad mentioned that they could get DNA off of discarded cigarettes and even one case from a removed organ from a hospital. ( not his cases) Because it's considered public property at that point. Probably could do the same with hair, I think.
The lobe connection of my left ear was accidentally cut when my grandmother was cutting my hair once. I was a very skittish child, always wanting to be on the move. I have no memory of this actually happening. I wonder if my brain erased the memory of the moment to protect me. For year's until I was 16 I was deathly afraid of anyone cutting my hair.
The first one is going into unhinged territory, honestly. Good on the stylist to actually send that insanity to OP on text messages so we have evidence of their misdeeds...
I agree it is actually legal for him to have the hair. Weird but legal. It counts as discarded property. OP chose to leave it on his floor, so now it's his to do what he wants with.
Yes, I think it’s essentially trash, but since the stylist is a licensed professional, I think it’s reasonable for clients to expect their hair to be discarded and not kept as mementos. Like you expect a doctor to destroy anything they remove from your body and not keep souvenirs. I hope that stylist gets help.
Being licensed makes the situation quite simple, yeah. Just like going to a dentist, it's expected they dispose of your teeth if they were to remove them and you could easily sue them over that. But i do wonder what happens in a more casual setting, like for example, what if the person cutting OP's hair was just a friend. Would there still exist a case there? Or would it actually become the friend's property?
I don't know the law in the usa but here in belgium cut hair is technically the property of the client not the hairdresser and you can ask to take them with you and some wig makers actually buy good hair for a decent price... the more you know...
13:56 my dad is just like that, I don't complain
