Yes
Lots
Mainly no eyebrows, plucked them to nothing...just a shine where my eyebrows used to be
and I used to shave them, and a horrible grey stubble used to grow thru..so I had a shadow over my eyes for a bout a year...my mams friend is a beautician and offered to wax them for me (noone could stand the sight of the grey stubble) and her wax melter machine was broken..so she thought "Oh lets heat it up in the microwave" she applied to it both my eyebrows and burnt the fecking skin..so went around with big horrible scabs at my eye brows for weeks.
I used to try and cover the scabs with foundation too. Not pretty
Then, when I first got with my ex, I was 17, and you know that wispy bit of hair you get (like mens locks) near your ears, which you tuck behind..mine wernt bad at all, normal in fact. Well, he used to slag me saying I had locks..one night, I got bored with a razor, and shaved the whispy bit off.:eek:
Cue more stubble..and of course, I couldnt have stubble at my face..so I had to carry on shaving it.
Shaving turned into veet (formally immac:D) and then I progressed to wax strips. So I used to wax my face for ages.:eek:
I then thought "enough is enough" i bit the bullet and HAD to let them grow out, took about a year, shorter than that to tuck behind my ears..BUT, it would never stay, so I used to gel it into place..Ill never forget getting highlights and the hairdresser pulling this wierd stumpy bit of hair out and the look on her face like WTF??!, I couldnt explain it, far too embarressing, so I just hung my head in shame.
Jesus Ill never forget how long it took for it to get back to normal.
What other things have I done..the usual, tried to give myself hightlights (never works), cut own hair (doesnt work either).
Oh, when in school, it was really fashionable to wear silver eyeshadow. I didnt have any and used a silver pen, you know the one with the retractable nib, that you shake and hear the mixer inside, the silver lasted for all of ten minutes, and then it turned to an ugly shade of grey. Wouldnt come off for ages

This is a patch up near the top. It's like a 2cm circle of hair away from everything else.
Who the hell would bother dying their hair down there
I dunno, maybe if I go grey young I'd want the collar and cuffs to match! A friend of mine had a 'Tiffany box' job done, why she'd be arsed with that I don't know...0 -

Got my eyebrows waxed at a hairdressers that 'did waxing' to end up looking permanently surprised, but only on one side of my face :mad:
Went for a 'mahogany' toned brown colour once that turned my greys (don't judge me) luminous pink.
Scalded my bits with boiling hot wax...and it was an accident, involving a dropped spatula as opposed to a numpty who can't gauge the temperature

Beauty disasters, good grief where do i begin.
1.Using unknown foreign looking moisturiser i found in bag of bathroom press that i figured would still be ok. Had two Aunt Sally red cheeks for weeks.
2.Plucking my eyebrows until they were non-existent. They looked like this. ^^^ on each side! Crocodile teeth jobs. EXCEPT I thought they were lovely and continued to do so until the time i got sight of myself in a photo and half died with the horror. Didnt go near them for a year afterwards.
3.Being a poor student I decided to dye my lovely darkest brown hair blonde. I looked like a ginger fox. and not in a good way. We're talking road kill.
4.Again being a poor student, I went for the home waxing kit and decided to do my bikini line. My flatmates could hear me screeching from outside and came running into the house thinking i'd been murdered only to find me half naked, effing and blinding and waving a wax strip in the air.
5.Saving my pennies and going to proper professional for a bikini wax. Sadistic b1tch tortured me. Savlon she recommended for the "slight burning sensation". Shove your savlon up your backside love. I sat with an ice pack on my bits for the night. I walked like John Wayne for days and then developed the most unsightly rash. Like a leper.
6.Letting my flatmate cut my hair one night when we were all at home bored. She said she'd done an apprenticeship. Maybe for the Oompa Loompas at Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. I had a STEP in the back of my hair. The hairdresser the next day half murdered me. She cut it so high at the back of my hair it took 18 months to grow out.
The list is endless. 0 -

Dying my own hair coal black (naturally quite fair) and then being too lazy/embarrassed of the sooty black haystack on my head to go to the hairdressers to get it fixed. I kept up the blackness for about a year and was very very lax about doing my roots. Black hair + light brown roots = appearance of someone with a hole in their head
And don't talk to me about the bits round the back of my head that I missed. When I did eventually go to a hairdressers 2 of them stood around me with their hands clapped over their mouths going 'Mother of divine......and you did this on purpose?' I was in the hairdressers for nearly 6 hours that time and nearly a year later am only just getting back to a colour that doesn't make me look like I'm wearing some kind of misguided wig. 0 -

So many!
Plucking my eyebrows into oblivion when i was about 14. My mam would give out to me, tell me to leave them alone, that they looked like something you'd see on a hooker, and just to piss her off i kept doing it.
Dying my hair blue.
Dying my hair african green (again to piss the ma off)
Letting my brother "trim" my hair with a crayola scissors. I had really long hair, he promised he'd only cut a little off the bottom. Next thing, whoosh, I feel a breeze of air at my ear. F|_|cker was after scalping me. To make matters worse, the hairdresser had to cut even more off it to even it up ( what makes it worse is i shoulda had more sense, i was 13/14.
That veet stuff you wash off with the sponge thing? Yeah, I use this over in L.A, and it burned thru my skin. Then me, the brightspark i am, scrubs it with the sponge thing too, que my leg being cut and the cream getting into it.
Veet tonight too, also burned me.
Hot waxing my underarms. All going good, apply the wax, drop my arm down by my side, que me being literally stuck together. Oh the pain of that was unnatural.
fake tan for my debs, ya'd swear she was after taking after me with that ronseal spray thing. Oh lord. Patches wasnt even a word for it.0 -
I put what I thought was intensive moisturiser on my face, and I wondered why it wasn't rubbing in properly...
Next day I had red burn marks on my cheeks and forehead that didn't heal for about 10 days. :eek:
It was travel sized moisturising shower gel

Oh God, I'm actually crying with laughter at this one! I think it's the hairdressers going "Mother of divine....." - it's so Irish
Crap, no, it's no good, I'm broken. I've gone hysterical. I don't think it's just the story anymore. The cat's looking at me in terror.
I've no real disaster stories myself, just the seemingly standard self-bleach job that went daffodil yellow. Except I quite liked it like that 0 -
