When you are a child, it feels like there is nothing more important than your birthday. As a kid, it feels fascinating to grow older. Many children could not wait for the day in which they could celebrate with their loved ones. For those with divorced parents, two celebrations are not uncommon either. Kelsey Frederick is a young girl who was lucky enough to get that opportunity. However, she had no idea that her birthday would be very different from what she had in mind…
Two Parties For One Teenage Girl
Some kids are especially excited about their 13th birthday. After all, this marks the start of a new chapter in their lives: their teens! Kelsey Frederick was thrilled about her two birthday parties. Her parents divorced when she was young, but this was one of the good things to have come out of the separation.
Two Parties For One Teenage Girl
Thirteen Queen
She hoped that her 13th year in the world would be even better than the ones that came before it. In movies, it is a big step in life. Since it was a special day, she wanted to celebrate it accordingly. For a lot of people, this meant inviting a couple of friends for a sleepover! What exactly did Kelsey have in mind?
Thirteen Queen
Highlights
There was something else that made it even more special. For one thing, her mom finally allowed her to get highlights. At school, she noticed that other girls had their hair done. She wanted to give the trend a shot as well. Hopefully, it was going to jazz things up! She was bored with her regular brown hair.
Highlights
Off To Dad’s House
She and her mother spent some quality time together at the salon. After that, the plan was to drop her off at her father’s house. It had been a nice day thus far, so there was no reason to think that things would go wrong. Needless to say, none of them saw what was coming…
Off To Dad’s House
She’s Not Alone
Kelsey is one of many kids who have no choice but to grow up with two families. On the bright side, she spends a lot of time with her mother and father. According to their divorce settlement, they both get the same amount of time with the kids. She still got to grow up knowing the love of both her parents.
She’s Not Alone
Always Fun
Kelsey spent every weekend with a different parent. This meant that things rarely got boring for her! The young girl liked to watch baseball games on the weekends that she stayed with her father. She has two little brothers, who join in on the fun as well. Her siblings never fail to make her laugh.
Always Fun
Mother And Daughter Duo
When you are that young, it is only natural for you to fight with your parents. Luckily, Kelsey has a different relationship with her mother. They do not simply live under the same roof. Unlike other mother and daughter duos, they are essentially best friends! Can you say the same thing for yourself?
Mother And Daughter Duo
A Close-Knit Bond
A lot of people would envy them for that. When we were younger, we often argued with our parents since we felt like they could not understand us. This was not the case for Kelsey, who knew that she can talk to Christin about anything that she wanted. She was lucky to have a mother like that!
A Close-Knit Bond
A Different Kind Of Relationship
But what was her relationship with her father like? Even though they had no problems, it simply did not hold a candle to the relationship between Kelsey and Christin. It did not look like he liked to hear about her stories as much as her mom. It probably helps that the two ladies spent more time with each other.
A Different Kind Of Relationship
A Family Affair
When Christin and Schaffen split up, their children had all been young. It was not easy for Kelsey to see them split up, but she got through it in the end. Thanks to her siblings and cousins, she was able to move on from it. This is what an amazing support system does to you!
A Family Affair
Sports Gal
Let us talk some more about the birthday girl. Kelsey had been a huge fan of sports ever since she was a little girl. It also helped her when her parents had been going through the divorce. She was able to keep her mind off it by focusing on her hobbies. Her parents were glad that she kept herself busy.
Sports Gal
In Agreement
Aside from that, it helped that Christin and Schaffen decided to stay friends. They just wanted the best for their children. Most of the time, the two of them agreed on how to raise the kids. They actually discussed it to ensure that they were on the same page when it comes the children.
In Agreement
A Little Fish
Even though it sounds like such a small thing, the couple agreed to take their daughter on monthly trips to Lake Erie. Kelsey really liked going on these excursions when she was a little girl. They wanted to keep her life the same as before, which was why they made good on this promise to her.
A Little Fish
New Love
After the divorce, it did not take long before Schaffen found love once more. He started a romantic relationship with one of his colleagues at the fire station! Other children would have reacted badly to this, but Kelsey was different. As a matter of fact, she liked the woman that her dad called his girlfriend!
New Love
It’s Official
Schaffen eventually proposed to his girlfriend. They made things official at the local courthouse. It was not necessary for them to dress up for the event, but they wanted to commemorate it anyway. They might have skipped an expensive ceremony, but they made sure to look their best for the occasion! Kelsey was glad to see how happy her father was.
It’s Official
The Deal With Her Dad
But what did Christin think about this? We are glad to hear that it was not a problem for her. In fact, she supported her ex-husband and his new relationship. The only thing that she wanted was some assurance that it would not change anything about how they were raising Kelsey and the two little boys.
The Deal With Her Dad
Nothing Would Change
Even though the kids now had a stepmom, the plan was to keep going with their original plan. Christin only wanted things to stay the same. As for Kelsey, she did not mind what her parents had agreed on. At the time, she did not care about anything else but the happiness of her own father.
Nothing Would Change
Strong Women All Around Her
The young girl was actually used to being in the presence of strong women. They had always been around her for as long as she could remember! There was her Aunt Kelly, who had been in her life from the beginning and served as her second mother. Kelsey also had Haylee Ann, who was her godmother.
Strong Women All Around Her
Endless Maternal Figures
The two women offered Kelsey love and support as well. They were always there if she needed advice or perspective. There were a lot of maternal figures around her, which was the reason she did not feel threatened by her stepmom. As a matter of fact, the new arrangement sounded exciting to her!
Endless Maternal Figures
Close Proximity
Christin lived in Fostoria, Ohio. It made things easier that her father and her stepmom both lived in the same city. The two houses were near each other, so it was not hard to drop the kids off when necessary. The three adults had a big part in the shocking turn of events that occurred on Kelsey’s birthday!
Close Proximity
A Challenge
We do not know about you, but it has always been challenging to pick a gift for children. However, it was even harder to pick out a gift for Kelsey. She did not really enjoy the normal things that her peers do. It was important to choose something that she would actually like since it was a big deal to her.
A Challenge
No Glitz
It was a good thing that Kelsey clarified something when it came to gifts. She did not want any glitz! You see, the young girl was not a fan of sparkly and pink things. Christin wanted to give her what she deserved, so she talked to friends and family to figure out what her daughter would love.
No Glitz
Not Like Other Girls
Kelsey liked to play softball, but she had everything that she needed for the sport already. She liked to go fishing with her cousins too… But it would not feel right to give her fishing gear at a birthday party! Besides, she already had everything she needed for that. What kind of gift would make her happy?
Not Like Other Girls
Something A Bit Cheaper
She was aware that her daughter had been eying a Mia Hamm jersey. However, this was out of the question. Even though Christin and Schaffen wanted to make Kelsey feel happy, it was just too expensive. It was time for them to think of something that was in the appropriate budget range…
Something A Bit Cheaper
Taking Forever
Kelsey could not help but feel like the birthday was taking much too long. When you are a kid, it is only natural to feel that age. We are sure that every 12-year-old kid could not wait until they are officially in their teens. Kelsey and her friends were all excited about it. They had cool party ideas that they wanted to try.
Taking Forever
An Important Milestone
But what about her mother? Like most moms, Christin was shocked to see just how much her daughter had grown. How could Kelsey be a teenager now? It was hard for her to believe that it had already been 13 years since Kelsey entered the world. She knew that it was true: time really does fly.
An Important Milestone
Her Choice
Christin knew just how important this birthday was to Kelsey. That was why she also wanted to choose a special gift. The celebrations before this one always came with a surprise in one way or another. But this time she wanted to do something different. She wanted the young girl to choose her own gift!
Her Choice
A Beauty Queen
She might not be a girly-girl, but Kelsey still likes to do her makeup and hair every now and then! The young girl would always be excited when they had to go and attend a wedding. She liked the excuse to put on nice clothes and wear makeup. Christin knew that Kelsey liked to use her stuff for this as well…
A Beauty Queen
Highlights For My Birthday
Now that Christin gave Kelsey the chance to choose her own gift, the only thing to do was to wait. All of a sudden, the birthday girl shared, “Mom, I want to get highlights for my 13th birthday.” She was shocked to hear this. Kelsey asked her to go to the salon and put highlights in her hair… What now?
Highlights For My Birthday
Worried
The truth was that there is no way a mom would take such a request easy. This was the first time that Kelsey had ever asked her for a makeover. Christin could not help but worry. Was her daughter having a hard time fitting in at school? Was the young girl unhappy about her looks? What did this mean?
Worried
Like Her Mother
However, it was also possible that it did not really mean anything. For one, Christin remembered that she had highlights in her own hair when she was around the same age. She told herself to calm down. It did not look like there was any reason for her to worry about it. After all, it was just hair!
Like Her Mother
Darker
She was a bit shocked, but she was the one who asked Kelsey to pick a gift. How could she take it back now? She noticed that Kelsey’s hair went darker over the past years. Highlights help jazz things up without doing anything more drastic. Christin made up her mind. She was going to let Kelsey do it!
Darker
A Great Big Sister
Christin did not only let Kelsey do it since her birthday was coming up. It was also a way to reward the young girl. Kelsey was the eldest of three children and had always been good at taking care of her brothers. It was hard to have divorced parents, but she made sure to pick up the slack.
A Great Big Sister
Mom And Daughter Bonding Session
Kelsey was a great young girl, and Christin wanted to reward her for how amazing she was. They had no idea how the process at the salon was going to work, however. In the end, they agreed to turn it into a mother-daughter bonding session! It was both nerve-wracking and exciting at the same time.
Mom And Daughter Bonding Session
Nails Too
Christin took her daughter to the salon where she got her hair done. She was a regular customer there and knew that the place offers massages, manicures, and pedicures. This was going to be an amazing birthday treat for the young girl. The staff knew Christin and even gave her a discount for the day!
Nails Too
Matching Mom And Daughter
The pair even decided to get matching manicures and pedicures. As you can see, Christin and Kelsey really did have a special bond together. However, the birthday girl had no idea that something big was going to happen on her birthday. In fact, the thought of it did not even occur to either of them…
Matching Mom And Daughter
A Relaxing Day
The entire time, Kelsey could not stop thinking about what she would look like once it was over. Overall, the pair had a nice time together at the salon. At last, it was time for the big reveal! Christin showed the young girl the result of the transformation. Did it live up to the expectations that she had of it?
A Relaxing Day
Could Not Believe Her Eyes
When Kelsey finally saw the result, she was shocked by what she was looking at. The highlights totally changed her appearance in a good way. Christin was also surprised by how much of a difference it made. That was not the best part about it either. For her, that would be the smile that Kelsey had on!
Could Not Believe Her Eyes
A Surprise Up Her Sleeve
It turned out that this was not the end of it just yet. Christin wanted to surprise Kelsey one more time. By then, they were done with her hair and nails. There was only one thing missing: makeup! The mom did not inform her daughter about this until they reached Sephora, the makeup superstore itself.
A Surprise Up Her Sleeve
Bliss
Christin was so glad that Kelsey seemed happy. She took a photo of the young girl and then uploaded it to her Facebook profile. Her only goal was to show off her daughter to their loved ones! They had no idea that someone saw it and hated it. The pair had still been blissfully ignorant back then.
Bliss
Next Stop Is Dad’s Place
Kelsey, of course, also wanted to show it off. She was very pleased with the transformation and could not wait to show it to her friends. However, the plan said that she would first go to her father’s house. After spending the day with her mother, it was his turn to make her feel special!
Next Stop Is Dad’s Place
His Turn
Christin did not mind calling it a day with the birthday girl. She was glad that Kelsey would get to spend some time with her father on her big day. According to their agreement, the young girl would stay with him for the rest of the weekend. She hoped that it would go very well like her time with Kelsey did.
His Turn
Something Smells
There was something Kelsey liked to do when she was with her dad. She often stopped using her phone when she was there! You see, she did not have a lot of time with him since she normally lived with her mother. Christin did not expect to hear from her daughter at all, but there was no reason to do so.
Something Smells
Mother’s Instinct
Christin woke up with a heavy feeling in her gut. She told herself that there was nothing wrong, but she later found out that her maternal instinct had been correct. Even though she felt worried for no good reason, she was glad that Kelsey was coming back that day. She wondered if the weekend went well.
Mother’s Instinct
Who Was She?
A few days after Christin dropped Kelsey off, the strangest thing took place. The doorbell rang, so Christin went over to open it. She was surprised to find a young woman in the doorway. It was Kelsey, but there was something different about her. No, it was more than just her puffy and swollen face…
Who Was She?
What Was It?
There were a lot of things going on in her mind. Christin started asking her daughter in rapid-fire succession. She wanted to know if Kelsey was hurt or got into a fight with her stepmom. Another theory was that she could have gone to the firehouse that weekend. It was not a place that Kelsey was super fond of.
What Was It?
Completely Different
She was so concerned about the fact that Kelsey was crying that she nearly missed another big detail. What on earth happened to her daughter’s hair?! It did not look anything like it did only a couple of days ago. She figured out that the problem had to do something about it… Was she right about that?
Completely Different
Horrible Haircut
Christin was concerned because the highlights did not just disappear, but so did the beautiful long hair of her daughter! It was possible that Kelsey realized that she did not like it and cut it off on her own. That would have been fine. But based on the way the teen was reacting, this had not been the case.
Horrible Haircut
A “Chop Off”
Someone clearly lopped it off during the weekend. But who on earth would do such a thing? They did it so crassly as well. “What they did to that poor child, it’s a ‘chop off’, it’s a boyish cut with no styling whatsoever,” explained a professional hairstylist who saw what happened to the young girl.
A “Chop Off”
From Extreme High To Extreme Low
Christin found it hard to look at her kid like that. Kelsey had been hiding her face in her hands. She was trying to hide her face from her mom, and it was clear that she felt humiliated. Like any mom, Christin was furious that something like this would happen to her daughter… and on her birthday of all days!
From Extreme High To Extreme Low
Self-Esteem Plummeted
Kelsey felt like the most beautiful and confident version of herself after the haircut. Sadly, it did not last a long time since her new hairstyle disappeared within the same day. Now, she could hardly stand to see herself in the mirror. Her self-esteem plummeted after the incident. Christin refused to stand for this!
Self-Esteem Plummeted
Fuming
It did not look like Christin would hear the story from Kelsey. She knew that she had to figure out what happened in a different way. She hopped in the car and went straight to her ex-husband’s house. She had been fusing during the car ride. How on earth did he let something like this happen to their baby?
Fuming
How Could You
Once she got to his house, Christin immediately went up to the door. She instantly demanded an explanation from Schaffen and Sarah, his new wife. The poor mother wanted to know what exactly happened to their sweet little girl. On top of that, why did they not inform her about it at all?
How Could You
Punished
The truth was that they were the ones who chopped off her hair! It was meant to be a punishment. They were not big fans of the haircut. As a matter of fact, the couple thought that it was too precarious for someone that age. They even explained it to Christin by saying, “Actions have consequences.”
Punished
Against Her Wishes
Well, Sarah and Schaffen had no idea that the saying also applied to them. Christin ended up asking the authorities for help. The chief chimed in, “The mother was upset at how her child was being cared for. The haircut was done against the child’s wishes under the direction of the girl’s father and stepmother.”
Against Her Wishes
Smile No More
Christin was devastated to see how much Kelsey changed after that. It was wild to think that this was the same girl who had been so happy on her birthday. On top of that, she was shocked that Schaffen and Sarah would be the ones to cause the young girl so much unhappiness. She could not believe it.
Smile No More
Taking Her Frustrations To Facebook
It was very frustrating for Christin to deal with this issue. She had to find a way to let off steam before she did anything drastic. That is why she went online and ranted about the situation on her Facebook page. She just wanted to express all the frustration and anger that she felt towards her ex-husband, the father of her children.
Taking Her Frustrations To Facebook
Sensitive Person
In a way, she also wanted Schaffen to suffer the pain that he gave their young daughter. Kelsey did not deserve to be treated like that over highlights and on her big day. How can you not feel bad for the poor girl? Christin hoped that this would give them a taste of their own medicine.
Sensitive Person
When You Go Viral
Christin took the time to write the post out of frustration. She had no idea that it would go viral! At the time, she only wanted to let her friends and family know about what Schaffen did. She hoped that they would agree that it was a completely unreasonable reaction. In the end, it went even further than that.
When You Go Viral
In No Time
Christin was shocked when she saw just how post attention the post was getting. Its reach extended farther than her friends and family members! Soon enough, people from different parts of the country were furious with Schaffen and Sarah. They could not believe that it happened all because of a haircut.
In No Time
People Were Outraged
It only took seven days for the post to receive 24,000 shares and 33,000 reactions. Christin did not expect that it would garner this much attention! Luckily, most of them were on her side. The netizens freely spoke their minds about the matter at hand. Check out a response from one of the commenters!
People Were Outraged
A Little Too Much
We are glad that people agreed with what Christin thought. However, the entire situation had been overwhelming for Kelsey. She went through a traumatic situation and now had to deal with the spotlight, all at the age of 13. It was all too much! We can understand why she would feel that way.
A Little Too Much
Outrage From Strangers
Christin initially wrote the post to look for validation and support. Well, she definitely got all of that and more. She did not know that this would reach so many people. Strangers started to say that Schaffen and Sarah had been “disgusting” and “ridiculous” to punish Kelsey in the way that they did.
Outrage From Strangers
Stand For Your Kids
“What a cruel thing for a parent to do to their child. So sorry that happened…beautiful no matter what!” one of the netizens left on the post. This is a sweet comment, but it was still hard on Kelsey. After all, she did not know that her story would go viral. People from all over the world got to see her new hair!
Stand For Your Kids
Middle School Woes
On top of that, she had to deal with the stares at school as well. It was bad enough that she had an awful haircut. However, the other students at the school also knew the story thanks to the Facebook post. She was still in middle school, so she had no idea how to deal with what was going on in her life.
Middle School Woes
Like Nothing Had Happened
She also felt bad thanks to the reaction of the other members of the family. For one thing, her little brothers continued to enjoy school. Meanwhile, Schaffen and Sarah continued to live life as usual. She could not believe that it was that easy for them when she felt angry, betrayed, and humiliated!
Like Nothing Had Happened
Theories And Speculations Abound
As you can imagine, Schaffen received little to no support for what he did to the poor girl. However, some strangers thought that his punishment showed a much bigger problem. Perhaps there was more to the story than a controlling and impulsive father. But what exactly did these people have in mind?
Theories And Speculations Abound
Everyone Had An Opinion
Let us hear what they had to say about it. “I think the daughter was unfortunately in the middle of a get back at you between both parents fighting,” one of them chimed in. Was it true that Christin gave Kelsey the green light for the haircut to upset Schaffen on purpose? Who knows.
Everyone Had An Opinion
Embarrassed
It is also good to hear about what a hair stylist thinks about it. Jennifer McVay works at Pear Tree Salon and explained, “Your hair is what really makes you feel good. If your hair looks good, you feel good. She had beautiful long hair, that beautiful little girl is now walking around embarrassed.”
Embarrassed
A Fine Line
She went on to say, “Another person, aside from the father, is at fault. The one holding the scissors. But, back to the father, why would they want to humiliate their daughter that way? That was crossing a fine line.” We do not know about you, but that is a very good point!
A Fine Line
The Highlight Problem
It would also be interesting to hear what other parents thought about it. In general, they had mixed feelings about the highlights. Other people agreed that it would be upsetting if their kid got a makeover without knowing about it. Still, none of them agreed that Schaffen should have taken it out on Kelsey.
The Highlight Problem
Unsettling
A lot of people felt like Kelsey was too young to start using hair dyes. Some said that for them, it would be fine on Halloween. Others said she could have just used wash-out hairspray and wigs. But there were folks who said that it was fine since it was temporary! The punishment was the real issue here.
Unsettling
Sympathy From Strangers
As you can see, some people agreed with Christin and Schaffen on certain things. However, they were all united by the sympathy that they felt for the poor girl. These netizens left her kind comments, messages of empathy, and suggestions on what to do with her hair. Thanks to them, Kelsey felt a lot better!
Sympathy From Strangers
Making Up For It
While Christin did not expect that the post was going to go viral, she knew that she could use it to help her daughter. A lot of people had been sharing the post, so she decided to launch a campaign on GoFundMe. She hoped that it would help her pay for a new hair treatment for her daughter. This way, they could still turn things around for Kelsey. But was it going to work?
Making Up For It
Showing Off Her Daughter
Christin was moved when she realized that all of these people really did care about her daughter. She would keep them updated about what was going on with Kelsey and the family. The young girl had been going through a tough time. Everyone understood, of course. That should not have happened to her!
Showing Off Her Daughter
She No Longer Hid
The young girl was showing some signs of progress. For one thing, Christin was relieved that Kelsey would no longer hide her face. It was fun for the mother to do these updates. This way, she could show them more of the happy girl that her daughter used to be! She took proud in her lovely little girl.
She No Longer Hid
Forgetting About The Trauma
Netizens got to see photos of Kelsey playing softball and taking fishing trips with her friends and cousins. In the photo, you could also see the haircut that she received at the hands of her father and stepmom. It was a good thing that she decided to live her life despite it.
Forgetting About The Trauma
Strong Support
People were glad to see that she was doing a lot better. They felt inspired by how Kelsey was handling the situation! It was a good thing that she had a great support system to help her. But it turned out that the story was not yet over. Neither Christin nor Kelsey had any idea about what would go down next…
Strong Support
Press And The Police
The story had already reached a lot of people by then. Apparently, it also reached the attention of people who assumed that it was a case of parental abuse and called the authorities! The cops were no involved in the story, which made things feel even more serious. Let us hear what the police chief said.
Press And The Police
Never Before
Fox8 had the opportunity to talk to Police Chief Colby Carroll about it. The channel ran the story about the devastating hair cut that Kelsey received on her birthday. “I’ve been doing this since ’92 and I’ve never had a case I would say that’s like this,” admitted the police chief.
Never Before
Administrative Leave
After they received the tip from a stranger, the authorities paid Schaffen and Sarah a visit. This resulted in the two of them being suspended at work! They were both firefighters working at the Middletown Township fire department. At the time, the two of them were officially on “administrative leave.”
Administrative Leave
Consequences For Their Actions
The authorities had to look into the matter some more. In the end, the local judges determined that Schaffen and Sarah deserved punishment for what they did to the poor girl. Some people did not like this since they thought that it went too far. Meanwhile, others thought that it was only right.
Consequences For Their Actions
Actions & Consequences
If you ever feel bad for Schaffen and Sarah, let us not forget that they were the ones who talked about actions and their consequences. The investigation might have been over, but this was not the end of the family drama just yet. What did fate have in store for Schaffen and Sarah?
Actions & Consequences
The Court’s Decision
Christin delivered some good news after that! She went online and posted about it on Facebook. “After 5 hours of testimony and ‘evidence’ provided by both parties, the magistrate’s decision was for Kelsey to live with mom and her siblings!” said her post. Yes, she got full custody of their daughter! Whew.
The Court’s Decision
No More Joint Custody
“A huge weight has been lifted off of everyone’s shoulders and we cannot be any [happier]!!” she went on. While this was a good outcome, it was still difficult for everyone involved. Even Kelsey and Christin had to admit that it was not easy. This was good news, but there was still a price to pay.
No More Joint Custody
Aunt Kelly Helps Kelsey Out
For one thing, Kelsey failed to grab her things from her father’s house! She did not want to go over there since she had no desire to see Schaffen and Sarah. Sadly, it meant that she had to let go of certain items. It was a good thing that Aunt Kelly figured out a way to solve this. She started a GoFundMe campaign for this very reason!
Aunt Kelly Helps Kelsey Out
It Would Be Different
Everyone else in the family had been glad that the court gave them the best possible outcome. Even so, it was still hard for Kelsey and Christin. After all, it would be very hard to patch up their relationship with Schaffen. Things had been going all right before the entire fiasco happened.
It Would Be Different
Encouraging Words From Strangers
We are sure that they felt better after reading the kind words of their supporters. One of these people would be Tatum Mathis, who extended his sympathies to the family. The good news was that things started to look up for them after that. Keep reading to see what we mean by that.
Encouraging Words From Strangers
Reaching Their Target Goals
It did not take long before they reached their target goal on GoFundMe. People showed Kelsey their support by donating money to the cause. Originally, Aunt Kelly only had a goal of a thousand bucks. To their surprise, they reached almost double that amount in no time at all. Things changed even more when an anonymous person contributed $2,000! In the end, they reached $3,543. Whoa.
Reaching Their Target Goals
Lady Jane’s
What did they plan to do with the money? Well, there were certain things that were at the top of their priority list. Before anything else, they returned to the salon so that Kelly could have her hair fixed! They went to the Lady Jane salon. Apparently, the staff knew about what happened to her even before that.
Lady Jane’s
Going Back To The Salon
Haylee Ann, her godmother, made sure to visit the salon before they got there. She explained the situation to the staff and asked them to surprise Kelsey. The young girl was delighted when the welcome committee greeted her as soon as she walked through the doors. It probably made her feel so special!
Going Back To The Salon
Incredible Results
Before they got there, the entire team at the salon could not wait for the young girl to arrive. They wanted to make her believe in magic yet again. The staff had been so inspired by how strong Kelsey was. She was still so young, yet she shouldered on! They were determined to make her happy once again.
Incredible Results
The Sky Is The Limit
They talked to her, ensuring her that they could make anything she wanted a reality. Haylee Ann stuck around to give her goddaughter support. This worked because Kelsey felt braver to ask for what she wanted. She talked to the staff and agreed to a huge change. What did she think of doing this time?
The Sky Is The Limit
Happy Once More
Kelsey explained that she would rather wait for her natural roots to grow back. The only thing that she could do about that was to wait, so she had to wear a wig in the meantime. She was happy with the options that the salon gave her. The end result was also very glamorous!
Happy Once More
Forever Grateful
It was an emotional moment for Kelsey. Christin, likewise, was also happy that things ended up all right. She was glad that her daughter was smiling once more. “I’d like to thank the ladies…for making my baby feel more like herself!” the concerned mother said. “We truly appreciate you ladies so much!”
Forever Grateful
Her Very Own Fairy Godmother
Christin knew that she could not have pulled it off on her own. She had to thank Haylee Ann for being with Kelsey at the salon! On top of that, Aunt Kelly had been there to ensure that the fundraiser would meet its goal. Her friends had always been there, especially when things with Schaffen went downhill.
Her Very Own Fairy Godmother
Happily Ever After
We are glad to hear that Kelsey has since overcome the traumatic ordeal. It would not have been possible without the help of her support system. It was a good thing that a lot of people spread the story and supported her. If it weren’t for their kindness and generosity, this would not have happened.
Happily Ever After
Going Viral Again
A couple of months after that, the post got hundreds of shares and comments, as well as almost five thousand likes. A commenter decided to take the short and simple route: “You’re beautiful.” This is definitely true. We are glad that Kelsey eventually overcame what she went through. Good for her!
Going Viral Again
Grades Above
We all know that Kelsey had not been happy at all after her father and stepmother chopped her hair. However, the truth is that they did a better job than others… Check out some people who go to the salon and come out looking even worse. Compared to these, that haircut was topnotch!
Grades Above
Nice Headphones
We totally feel you if you can’t afford Bose headphones at the moment. If this is the case, you might want to do the same thing that this fellow did. He did not have $250 to spare, so he simply went to the barber and paid a couple of bucks for it. Clearly, this man is practical about his money.
Nice Headphones
Like Father, Like Son
Check out this little boy, who went to the barber with his dad on a warm April Saturday. He had no idea that his father teamed up with the barber for a horrible trick. Let us just say that Kevin was not happy at all to see that his hair matched the receding hairline of his father. What a nightmare that would be!

It’s Salvador Dali
We have to admit that this is a really unique haircut. Have you ever seen anything like that in the past? The attention to detail here is truly something else! You have to be extremely talented if you want to pull this off. Those long whiskers make it even more special than it already is.

Don’t Pull The Plug
We really want to know what he had in mind when he went to the barber that day. Was he even thinking at all? That might be the better question here. The top of his head resembles a whirlpool. He also had those weird braids on the front and back of it. You know what, we’d rather not ask.

Does this haircut look familiar to you? Well, it should! After all, you have probably seen it today already. This is the poop emoji. We have no idea what this guy had been thinking when he got this. Do we even want to know? We doubt it. Oh well, if it works for him…

Static Electricity
Do you think that this was done on purpose? It is also very possible that he was hit with static electricity on the day this was taken. That is definitely plausible, but something tells us that he worked on this. He probably had to use a lot of hairspray and gel to make this happen.

Shocking
Miley Cyrus has gone through a lot of transformations over the years. Her hairstyles have also changed many times in the past. However, we think that this one takes the cake. The spiked look with those bleached tips is definitely iconic. This is how you do the rocker girl style, ladies and gentlemen.

First Fault
How much do you have to love tennis before you do the same thing? Yet again, we are at an utter loss for words here. What was going on? Why did anyone think that it was fine to do this? At the very least, we hope that he used temporary dye when he colored his hair.

Future Branding
Even though a lot of people like Oreos, we do not think that you should base your hairstyle on it. We have no clue why anyone would think that this would be a good idea! This lady probably loves it that much. We just hope that she is at least getting paid to be the walking advertisement of the brand.

Ariel Winter Too
You were wrong if you thought that regular people are the only ones who can sport crazy hairstyles. The truth is that celebrities tend to do the same thing. Ariel Winter of Modern Family fame once sported this bold pink hair color. She did this when she attended a music festival. She looked great!

Noah’s Ark
We have so many questions for this guy. Among other things, we want to know exactly how much gel and hairspray he used to make his vision come to life? We are sure that it was a lot. It is a good thing that he managed to achieve the look he was going for. Noah’s Ark was quite a unique inspiration.

Smurf Dipped
No matter how much you like the Smurf’s, you will never love them as much as she does. After all, we doubt that you have ever gotten your hair dyed to match them! This woman was obsessed with those films and decided to change her look to reflect this. However, she missed a spot on the top of her head.

Hat Hair
Carl likes to wear a hat every single day of his life. This has become his go-to look. He wanted to try on a different look, however. In the end, he simply returned to his roots by getting a hat-shaped hairstyle. If you ask us, the result is amazingly accurate. It has the long brim and everything!

Hillary-ous
You need to show your support for your presidential candidate if you want them to win the elections! This is simply how it goes. This guy was gunning for Hillary, and he was not shy about it. However, we wonder if he ended up getting a haircut when she lost the elections.

Up Or Down?
This woman had no idea what to do with her hair, so she decided to experiment. However, it was a little too avant-garde even for the likes of us. Next time, she should leave the zipper alone. It belongs in a sewing box or a craft store, not at a wedding!

Chopper Chop
In case you needed some context, this woman is the girlfriend of a pilot. She wanted to do something to surprise him on his birthday. This explains why she got a special jet-settin’ hairdo. Check out the tail and the top of the chopper. You might be surprised to hear that she found a way to make it spin!

Eyes At The Back Of His Head
We do not know what happened here, but we can wager a guess. This was probably a bet that went wrong. The guy must have lost, which explains how he got to where he now is. We are sure that this would scare off little kids. You know what, it would definitely frighten adults too.

Carrot Top
She wanted to support the healthy eating movement, but she could not eat anything but veggies and fruits. In the end, she tried to support it through other means. One of her brilliant ideas involved attaching veggies to her head! As you can see, she was a literal carrot top here.
