Kathy Poh Smith: I went to get my hair styled for my prom; I just wanted a fancy blowout. A pair of scissors and an hour or so later I had hair a good two inches shorter and a strange cut that looked nothing like the photo I’d brought. My mom helped me recover by adding some fresh gardenias.
Raquel Aguilar: Once I had dyed my hair too blond, so the stylist told me to lighten my brows so they would match my hair. He dyed them so blonde you couldn’t see them. When I got home, my mom said: “you look like you have piggy eyebrows!”
