"I tried to use box dye on my hair one time trying to get like a tawny brown and instead it came out this awful orangey-red color. I don't know if it was the brand or what, but it was terrible. I couldn't re-dye it right away, so I just rocked it for a while," said Kristina Elise backstage at Veronica Beard. "People were like, 'Did you dye your hair?' but they didn't really compliment it... I waited six to eight weeks to re-dye it the color I have now."

Back when I was just starting high school, I was trying to wax off my upper lip — you know, you want to be perfect when you just start school. Anyway, right after I waxed it, I put acne cream all over my entire face and it created this burn across my upper lip where I waxed," said Stephanie Jackson backstage at Pamella Roland. "It looked like I had one of those French mustaches. I tried to cover it up with lots of foundation and concealer, but people definitely noticed. It probably only took like a week or so to recover, but it was so traumatizing in the moment."
