All brides want to look perfect on their wedding day , so most opt for a trial run of their bridal hairstyle in the lead up to the big day.
It gives them the chance to check they're happy with it, work out timings and to make sure it will stay in the entire night.
And it's a very good thing one American bride decided to splash out for one, as what the hairdresser went for wasn't exactly what she had in mind.
The woman took a photo of what she wanted along with her to the salon and handed over more than $100 (about £76). She was horrified by the result and shared the two photos on Facebook to shame the hairdresser. The bride-to-be didn't reveal whether she paid the hairdresser in the post.

Kristoff St John, best known for his role on the long-running soap opera The Young and the Restless, has died, aged 52.
A lawyer for the actor confirmed the actor died on Monday morning. The news was first reported by TMZ, who say police responded to a call from St John's friend.
The friend went to check on the actor in his Los Angeles, California house, where his body was found.
Police and paramedics pronounced him dead on the scene. There was reportedly no sign of foul play.
St John played the character Neil Winters on The Young and the Restless since 1991. He earned multiple Emmy nominations and 10 NAACP Image Awards.

A Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Monday struck out a fundamental rights enforcement procedure suit filed by Chukwudumeme Onwamadike (a.k.a. Evans), an alleged kidnap kingpin, against the Police over seizure of his property.
Ruling on the case, Justice Mojisola Olatoregun held that the court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the case, noting that the suit ought to have been filed before a Lagos State High Court, before which the applicant was facing charges of kidnapping.
According to NAN, Evans, through his counsel, Olukoya Ogungbeje, filed the suit in June 2018 and joined the Inspector-General of Police, the Nigeria Police and IGP’s Intelligence Response Team, as respondents.
In the suit, he prayed the court to declare that the alleged forceful seizure of his property by the respondents, without any court order, was illegal and unconstitutional. The properties listed included N500million, another N500million, two residential houses located at Magodo, Lagos State, a Brigade wristwatch worth $20,000, necklaces worth $25,000 and five pieces of diamond rings.
Also listed are one Lexus 470, a Grand Cherokee, a Toyota Highlander, 85 Samsung television sets, 45KVA generator, 22KVA generator, 20KVA inverter worth N10million and five sets of freezers.
Evans had sought a declaration releasing the property, just as he asked the court for an order compelling the respondents to unconditionally unseal and vacate without delay, the two residential houses located at Magodo.
The judge noted that the respondents did not file any defence, in spite of being served hearing notices, and held that when confronted with a claim under the fundamental rights enforcement procedure, it would be important for the court to critically look at the reliefs sought.
According to her, the main issue to be decided is whether the plaintiff’s claim constitutes a violation of his rights under the Fundamental Human Rights Procedure, adding that the right to own property cannot be denied except for the due process of the law.
She held that the applicant failed to show that, within the circumstances of his arrest, the properties were forcefully seized.
“The only conclusion I can draw is that the property were taken consequent upon his trial for kidnapping before the Lagos State High Court. This court must be careful not to interfere with due process of the ongoing trial of the applicant before the Lagos State High Court. This court lacks the jurisdiction to entertain this case; same is hereby struck out," the judge said.
Other prayers sought by Evans included an order compelling the respondents to apologise to him and pay him N1billion as damages for the alleged forceful seizure of his property.
He also sought an order of perpetual injunction restraining the respondents from taking any action against him or any of his property in relation to this case.

The trial of Ayodele Fayose, immediate past Governor of Ekiti State, was stood down for one hour at the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos on Monday.
Fayose is standing trial over allegations of benefitting from N6.9billion fraud.
Obanikoro had earlier testified that he gave Fayose the sum of $5million in cash from the National Security Adviser's imprest account, on the instruction of Sambo Dasuki, the then National Security Adviser during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Fayose applied for an adjournment through his lawyers, Kanu Agabi (SAN) and Olalekan Ojo (SAN), to enable them cross-examine Obanikoro. Consequently, Justice Mojisola Olatoregun had adjourned the case to February 4, 5 and 6, respectively for continuation of trial.
Musliu Obanikoro, a former Minister of State for Defence, was scheduled for cross-examination on Monday.
However, when the case was called for hearing on Monday, after the court sitting began, Justice Mojisola Olatoregun left to attend an official function.
The trial was, thereafter, stood down for one hour.

Rowan Atkinson has reportedly shocked friends with the news he is taking a year off from acting to focus on looking after his youngest daughter.
The Mr Bean star, 64, is father to Ben and Lily with ex-wife Sunetra Sastry while his girlfriend Louise Ford, 35, gave birth to daughter Isla in December 2017.
According to The Sun, Rowan has told pals: 'I am going to take care of Baby Bean while Louise has the chance to concentrate on acting.'
The actor has starred in the lead role of Chief Inspector Jules Maigret on the ITV series Maigret from 2016 to 2018 and he also starred in Johnny English Strikes Back last year.

The insider added that it is a kind gesture from the actor as it means his other half will have more time to focus on her own burgeoning career.
