Getting a haircut can either be a hit or miss, depending on a whole lot of variables. Having a reliable barber depends on many factors, like how long they've known you, how much you're paying them, or just how experienced they are. That being said, it's still possible to get an absolutely atrocious haircut, which is the unfortunate truth of going to the barber.

Barber fails are constantly celebrated on the internet, especially on certain subreddits that specialize in showing you all of the worst haircuts you could find online. Each haircut here varies from terribly abhorrent to laughably bad, and each begs the same question: "What did you ask the barber to do this to you?" Whether it was the barber's fault or if these haircuts were intentionally bad is entirely unknown, but what remains a constant in all these photos is how bad each haircut is.
