Once upon a time, we had memes about the barber where someone would ask for a vague hairstyle and receive impressive results, along with the barber's simple response, "I got you, fam." But in reality, we all have been sorely disappointed by a haircut at one point or another. Whether they cut off too much or tried an experimental style you definitely didn't ask for, haircuts gone wrong can be both devastating to you and hilarious to onlookers.

Since the days of the barber memes, people have remembered just how unlikely it is that a barber actually cuts your hair the way you asked them to. The meme's pretty unrealistic, right? People started pointing this out along with photographic evidence, and as people have started to document their own disasters from the local barber shop, the fails have only gotten worse. Here are some of the funniest and most bizarre examples of haircut disasters to make you cringe.
