An Arizona woman is sharing her experience after a hairstyling appointment that cost about $1,000 and left her dealing with hair loss. The Phoenix woman said she had spent weeks planning the appointment and had provided inspiration photos for the blonde style she wanted. She later shared footage of her hair on TikTok, sparking a strong reaction from viewers.
The story was shared on the woman’s TikTok account, Codeen, under the username @lilbodeen. The video drew several hundred thousand views, with commenters reacting to the condition of her hair and the problems she described during the appointment.
The Arizona woman said she had ordered blonde hair bundles through the stylist’s website before the appointment. On the day of her booking, she said the stylist told her she had been involved in a car accident and needed to delay the appointment. The delay disrupted her plans for a birthday photo shoot she had already spent money preparing for.
After arriving at the appointment, she learned that the wrong hair had been delivered. Instead of the light blonde bundles she expected, the hair was black or brown. The stylist reportedly attempted to correct the issue by coloring the bundles before continuing with the service.
The appointment then took several hours, leaving the woman worried that her hair would not be finished before her photo shoot. She eventually canceled the shoot after spending money on makeup, a studio and outfits. The finished hair appeared darker and browner than the blonde look shown in her inspiration photos.
Afterward, she shared footage showing the top of her head and said she was experiencing significant hair loss and considering cutting her hairstyle. She has not said whether a medical professional determined the cause of the hair loss. The stylist’s response to the woman’s claims was not included in the provided account.
Arizona Woman’s Hair Story Has Viewers Stunned
The story prompted criticism over the appointment’s cost, delays and handling of the hair order. One commenter claimed they had experienced a similar situation with the stylist, writing, “She used the SAME car accident excuse on me, hold on… she stays playing. It’s just so unprofessional!” That claim was not independently verified.
Other viewers said the Arizona woman should have followed her instincts after feeling uneasy before the appointment. Some praised her for disputing the payment, while others urged her to report the stylist to state authorities. Several commenters also said they had nearly booked with the stylist and were reconsidering after seeing the story.
Others debated the timing of the appointment, with some advising people to avoid scheduling major hair services immediately before important events. One commenter even suggested traveling to Detroit for the appointment instead.
For a birthday that was supposed to end with a photo shoot, the Arizona woman instead ended up documenting a very different kind of before-and-after.
