I accidentally agreed to the worst hair dye job of my life – I should have just admitted I didn’t understand Japanese
BE careful what you wish for, especially if you don’t speak the language fluently.
One woman revealed that she ended up with the worst hair of her life when she let her pride get the best of her.
N’tima (@ntimapreusser) shared the video with over 370,000 TikTok followers.
The beauty and lifestyle influencer explained that she accidentally agreed to a style she didn’t want because she didn’t understand Japanese.
“That one time I accidentally agreed to the worst dye job of my life in a Japanese salon,” she said.
She pulled up the photo of what she had asked for in Japan — an ashy blonde balayage.
Unfortunately, due to miscommunication, she was given an extremely choppy dye job that looked nothing like she requested.
N’tima explained that she took partial blame for the incident as she said yes to everything that was asked.
“I was too much of a people pleaser to admit I didn’t understand Japanese as much as it seemed,” she said.
“So I just said ‘Hai’ to every question and then left crying hahaha.”
Some of her viewers felt the situation could’ve been much worse.
“This happens to me in the language I understand. I’m so bad at standing up for myself,” joked one commenter.
Others felt that even with the language barrier, she was justified to be frustrated.
“Okay! You definitely had a right to be upset!” said one viewer.
