AN influencer was in for a nasty surprise when she asked her hairdresser for a face-framing haircut.
The hairdresser delivered – perhaps too enthusiastically.
Maia Dobbs (@maiadobbs) shares lifestyle and beauty videos with her 45,000 followers.
In a recent clip, she revealed the result of a recent haircut.
“I asked for some face framing,” she opened the video by saying, referring to face-framing layers in a haircut.
Maia got more than she bargained for, however.
Rather than cutting in a few subtle layers around her face, Maia’s hairdresser got a little heavy-handed.
The influencer’s new haircut featured a full fringe, some aggressively blunt and thick layers around her jaw, and plenty of dramatic layers throughout the full length of her long blonde hair.
The result was that Maia’s face was hugged extremely close by the face-framing layers, making it appear as though she was peering out from underneath the thick hair.
She took the whole thing in good spirits and was clearly amused by the miscommunication, despite the unfortunate result.
“My face is fully framed,” she said, deadpan.
“I feel completely framed.”
At the end of the clip, Maia dissolved into laughter, unable to keep a straight face any longer.
Viewers were huge fans of Maia’s candid wit and of the comedy made possible by the unfortunate trim.
“SHE’S CROWNING,” wrote one commenter.
“It’s like a warm hug…from your hair,” quipped another.
One comment imagined the hair appointment from the perspective of the stylist. “‘Can I have face-framing layers?’ ‘Oh HELL yeah you can,'” it read.
“Do you feel cozy and safe in there?” asked one viewer.
“There’s framed and then there’s wreathed,” said another.
“As a hairdresser, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen,” commented one amused viewer.
