She Asked For Highlights On Her 13th Birthday But Got A Terrible Haircut Instead

Published on 10/07/2019

Ah, to be young again! When you are a child, you probably think that the most important thing on the planet is turning another year older. After all, your birthday is the one time of the year when you enjoy special attention from the people you love. Do you have divorced parents? If so, you might get the opportunity to have not one but two celebrations like Kelsey Frederick did! Her father Schaffen and mother Christin had no issues coordinating a schedule for her big day. However, things did not go right…

Two Parties For One Teenage Girl

Kelsey Frederick was thrilled for her upcoming birthday. It was going to be her 13th one, so it meant that she was going to be a teenager at last. She could not wait for her two parties. Over the years, she has gotten used to this odd little tradition of theirs.

Kelsey hoped that it was going to be the best year of her life just yet. It was a special day, so she wanted the celebration to reflect this. She tried to come up with various ideas for her birthday party!

Highlights

There was one more reason she could not wait for the big day to come. Her mom Christin said yes to her request for highlights. Many of her friends already had them, so she was excited to try them out herself.

Off To Dad’s House

She spent much of the day at the salon, getting highlights and other treatments. After this, she was dropped off at the house where her dad lived. Was this celebration going to live up to the first one?

She’s Not Alone

It is not like she is the only one with two families out there. There are many kids who could relate to this! However, you do not need to worry about her. She actually got to spend lots of time with both Schaffen and Christin. The agreement was that they would get an equal amount of time with her and her brothers.

She’s Not Alone

Always Fun

She spends her weekends on an alternating schedule between her dad and mom. We bet that it never gets monotonous for her! When it is her father’s turn, they like to go to the stadium and watch baseball games together. They are always accompanied by her younger brothers, of course.

Mother And Daughter Duo

A lot of kids do not get along well with their parents. Kelsey and Christin are exceptions to this rule! In fact, the two of them would even refer to each other as their best friend. How nice is that?

A Close-Knit Bond

It is the sort of bond that many people can only have in their dreams. Kelsey trusts Christin so much that she tells her everything. Don’t you think this is nice? She is lucky to have a person like that for a mother!

A Different Kind Of Relationship

While Schaffen and Kelsey have no problems getting along, they are just not on the same level of closeness. For one thing, it feels like her dad is just not as interested as her mom is when it comes to her stories and experiences. It must not help that Kelsey spends more time with Christin as well.

A Different Kind Of Relationship

A Family Affair

Christin and Schaffen got a divorce when the kids were still young. Without a doubt, it was rough for Kelsey because she was still a little girl. Fortunately, her siblings and cousins were there to make it easier for her! She had an awesome support system, so it did not hit her as hard as it could have had.

Kelsey could always turn to sports no matter what. She had always been interested in them ever since she was young! It was a great thing that she could rely on this, especially when things were rough in her family life. Her parents were glad since they wanted her to live life as normally as possible.

In Agreement

Christin and Schaffen decided to stay friends so that it would be easier for their children. They also agreed on how the kids should be raised. This is because the two of them discussed the rules and guidelines they would follow when it comes to raising and disciplining them.

A Little Fish

There is one admirable tradition that they decided to respect even after the divorce. In the past, they used to bring Kelsey to Lake Erie each month. They decided that there was no need to put a stop to it just because of the divorce. They only wanted their daughter to be happy!

New Love

After the divorce, Schaffen managed to strike gold in his love life once again. He started to see Sarah, who also worked at the fire department. This was not an issue for Kelsey, who liked her quite a bit.

It’s Official

He later popped the question, which then led to a courthouse wedding. Even though they chose to skip a fancy schmancy ceremony, they still got all dressed up for it! Kelsey could not be happier for her dad.

The Deal With Her Dad

But what did Christin think about Sarah? For Schaffen’s ex-wife, it was not a problem. All this mother wanted was that nothing would change when it comes to the way that they raised their children.

The two of them had no issues co-parenting the kids, so she hoped that it would not change now that he has remarried. Kelsey did not mind it at all. For her, the important thing was that her dad was happy.

Strong Women All Around Her

This girl was used to strong women since she was always surrounded by them. She knew that she could always rely on other maternal figures like Aunt Kelly, her second mom, and Haylee Ann, her godmother.

Endless Maternal Figures

These two women were great role models for Kelsey. They helped her grow by offering their wisdom and perspective. With a lot of maternal figures, the young girl was not afraid of getting yet another one!

Endless Maternal Figures

Close Proximity

Her mom lived in Fostoria, Ohio. This was also the same city where her dad Schaffen and stepmom Sarah lived. They lived near each other, so it was not hard to shuttle the kids back and forth on the weekends. These three adults were going to be huge players on the story that unfolded on her big day.

Close Proximity

A Challenge

We all know that it can be hard to pick a gift for a young kid. Even so, Kelsey proved to be an even bigger challenge than other girls her age! Why is that? Well, her hobbies were a little different from her peers.

Screenshot 142

A Challenge

No Glitz

No glitz. It was the one request Kelsey made. She was not what you would call a “girly-girl,” so she was not going to like pink or sparkly things. Christin decided to ask around for something her kid would love.

No Glitz

Not Like Other Girls

Kelsey played softball, but it was not like she needed anything else to play it. The same went for her other great hobby, which was fishing. Not only did she already have everything for these hobbies, but it did not feel right to give her sports gear on such a special occasion. What could Christin possibly get her?

Something A Bit Cheaper

She knew that Kelsey had always wanted a Mia Hamm jersey. She balked upon learning that it would cost her an arm and leg to buy this item. She had to look for a cheaper gift that this girl would still like.

Taking Forever

Kelsey could not help but think that it was taking much too long for her birthday to get here. At that age, this is nothing unusual. After all, what kind of 12-year-old does not count the days until they could call themselves a teen at long last? Kelsey tried to occupy herself by looking up various birthday ideas.

Taking Forever

An Important Milestone

Christin had a hard time believing that Kelsey was growing up so quickly. This mom thought it was crazy that 13 years had gone by since she first brought her into this world. What they said was true: time flies!

Her Choice

It was a special birthday that Kelsey could not wait for. Christin wanted to commemorate it by getting her something that she would absolutely love. She decided to consult the person who would know best about her daughter’s preferences. This mom asked Kelsey herself to pick out anything she liked!

Her Choice

A Beauty Queen

It is common for girls that age to start getting into makeup and hairstyles. Kelsey was always happy when they had to go to a wedding since she always associated it with glamming up. Christin was well aware of this since her daughter always used her makeup! Still, she was not ready for what she heard her daughter say.

Highlights For My Birthday

Her daughter told her, “Mom, I want to get highlights for my 13th birthday.” Kelsey hoped to make her hair look better by adding blonde highlights into it. How did Christin reply to a request like this one?

Worried

We know that this is not really all that wild, but Christin was shocked. It must be hard for any mother to hear that their child is not happy with their appearance. Christin began to worry if Kelsey felt insecure.

Like Her Mother

While she had her worries, she reminded herself that she also got highlights in the past. This simply showed her that she and her daughter were pretty similar! She tried not to think about it too much.

Christin might have been a bit shocked, but she was the one to ask Kelsey to choose anything that she wanted. She told herself that there was nothing wrong with this since people got them all the time and her daughter’s hair did get dark over the years. She was still nervous but knew what she had to do.

A Great Big Sister

Aside from the fact that it was her birthday, Kelsey was also getting the highlight as a reward. Christin wanted to show her daughter that her efforts to take care of her brothers did not go unappreciated.

Christin knew that her daughter deserved the best experience, so she went all out when it came to this birthday gift. They were not sure how it would go, so they turned it into a cool bonding session. Aww!

Nails Too

She decided to bring her kid to the salon she regularly went to. The place also did pedicures, manicures, and massages, so it was going to be a real treat. Christin even got a discount since she was a regular.

Matching Mom And Daughter

This mom and daughter duo decided to get matching nails! How sweet is that? They had a great time, but they had no idea that there were some rough times coming for them after this…

A Relaxing Day

They spent a nice day at the salon, but it was soon time for the big reveal. Was Kelsey going to be happy with her new look? We hope so. Christin finally showed her daughter the mirror. What happened next?

Could Not Believe Her Eyes

The girl looked at her reflection in the mirror and stared in shock. Was it really her? She looked so different with the highlights! Christin herself was shocked to see the incredible transformation. Despite this, she would probably tell you that the best thing about this was the radiant smile on her daughter’s face!

A Surprise Up Her Sleeve

It turned out that Christin had one more surprise for her daughter. Kelsey was done with her nails and hair, so there was only one thing missing. She still had to get her face done! The two of them went to the perfect place for something like this… They went to Sephora, of course.

Bliss

After this, Christin took a photo of her daughter after they finished getting all the beauty treatments. She put it up on Facebook for the benefit of all their loved ones! They had no idea that there was someone who did not like what they saw. At the time, they were still blissfully unaware of this.

Next Stop Is Dad’s Place

Kelsey could not wait to show all her friends what she looked like, but she had plans with her dad. Now that her mom was done with her half of the celebration, it was time for her to go and see her dad.

His Turn

Christin was more than happy to drop off her daughter at the house where Sarah and Schaffen lived. She and Kelsey got in the car and made their way to their home. The schedule indicated that she was going to be there for the weekend. It was not unusual since she divided her time between her parents.

Screenshot 17

His Turn

Something Smells

Kelsey often refrained from using her phone when she was spending the weekend with her dad. She did this to ensure that she made the most out of her stay with him. After all, she did live with her mother. There was no reason for Christin to hear from Kelsey, but she got up with a sinking feeling the next day.

Mother’s Instinct

She told herself that there was no problem. In the end, it turns out that a mother’s instinct is true no matter what. She counted down the days for her girl to return. She hoped Kelsey was feeling her ‘do!

Mother’s Instinct

Who Was She?

A couple of days later, the doorbell finally rang. When she answered the door, she knew that something was wrong. Christin almost did not recognize that it was Kelsey at the doorstep! Why? Well, the poor girl had a puffy and swollen face. What on earth was going on?

Screenshot 52

Who Was She?

What Was It?

A lot of things that came to her mind. She wanted to know if Kelsey was hurt. Was she crying because she got into a fight with Sarah or Schaffen? She thought that maybe he took her to the fire station since he had to work on the weekend. It was not her favorite place, but it failed to explain the tears.

Screenshot 121

What Was It?

Completely Different

She then realized that there was something she failed to notice upon her first glance. It had something to do with how her daughter’s hair looked. It did not look the same way it did when she dropped her off.

Screenshot 61

Completely Different

Horrible Haircut

The highlights they added were no longer there! Not only that, but her long hair had been chopped to a shorter length. She first thought that the girl changed her mind, but it did not look like this was the case.

A “Chop Off”

One would easily see that this was not something the poor girl did of her own accord. A hairstylist said, “What they did to that poor child, it’s a “chop off”, it’s a boyish cut with no styling whatsoever”.

Screenshot 101

A “Chop Off”

From Extreme High To Extreme Low

Christin felt very sad to see her daughter hide her face in her hands out of shame. Kelsey did not want her mother to see her face. It was clear that she felt mortified at that moment. Christin was shocked to see this. What could have happened over the weekend?

Self-Esteem Plummeted

In only a few moments, Kelsey felt like a beautiful and confident person before she started to feel ugly and ashamed. Who can blame her when her hair got butchered on her special day? After this, she hated seeing herself in the mirror. Without a doubt, her self-esteem took a beating. How sad is it to hear this?

Screenshot 112

Fuming

Christin could see that her daughter did not plan to talk about what happened. She had to look for a different way to hear the story, so she drove all the way to her ex-husband’s house. She was very angry the entire time, of course. How could Schaffen have let something like this happen to Kelsey?

Screenshot 152

How Could You

Once she got there, Christin went to the door and yelled at Schaffen and Sarah. She asked them why they would do something like that to Kelsey. On top of this, she wanted to know why they did not even contact her! She was so angry that she was seeing red.

Punished

They explained to her that they did not like the hairstyle. They found the highlights too precarious for a girl of her age and punished her for it. They even told her, “Actions have consequences”.

Against Her Wishes

Schaffen and Sarah did not know that this was very true. In the end, it was taken to the authorities. The police chief was quoted saying, “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”.

Smile No More

Kelsey was no longer smiling like she used to. It hurt Christin to see her daughter act in such a way. She also got mad at how disproportionately her ex-husband reacted to something as trivial as highlights.

Taking Her Frustrations To Facebook

Christin did not know what else to do, which is why she went online to shame her ex-husband. Her plan was only to give him a taste of his own medicine and nothing more than that.

She hoped that this would make Schaffen feel the same sort of pain that he gave to the sweet young girl. By posting it online, she thought that she could humiliate him and make him feel what Kelsey did.

When You Go Viral

She had no idea that her post was going to go viral. She only wanted their friends and family to support her claim that his behavior had been unreasonable. In a situation like this, it was only natural to wish to blow off steam. In the end, the photos did far more than just that.

She did not feel ready to go to school and see everyone just yet. It was bad enough that her hair looked bad, but the post only made things even worse. We cannot imagine dealing with that in middle school!

There was also the fact that her little brothers still got to enjoy school. Her stepmom and dad both acted like nothing happened as well. Meanwhile, she was still hurt, angry, and humiliated after what they did.

We are not surprised to hear that people were angry about what Schaffen did to this poor girl. However, some could not help but think that there was more to this story than the post would have them believe.

A commenter voiced out their concern by saying, “I think the daughter was unfortunately in the middle of a get back at you between both parents fighting.” Do you think it was true that Christin wanted to upset her ex-husband on purpose? We do not know, but this was not the last of the speculations…

A long-time Pear Tree Salon hairstylist called Jennifer McVay wanted to weigh in on this story: “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”.

She said, “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”.

The Highlight Problem

Other parents did not think that it was appropriate for Kelsey to have highlights in the first place. They also said that they would probably be just as upset if they found out that their child had a makeover without talking to them about it. Still, none of them thought that Schaffen should have cut off her hair.

Some thought that 13 years old was too young for hair dyes. They said that they would let it go on Halloween, but only if their kids used wigs and wash-out hairsprays. The more liberal ones said that it was not an issue at all since it was temporary. However, the surprise haircut did not receive any support.

Sympathy From Strangers

We are glad to hear that some of the online spectators tried to reach out to Kelsey instead of engaging in such debates. While Christin got comments about how terrible Schaffen and Sarah were, there were some people who sympathized with the poor girl and tried to make her feel better. They complimented her and suggested all kinds of things she could try with her hair. Kelsey was comforted by these acts of kindness. It was rather sad that they understood her better than her dad did.

Making Up For It

The post kept getting more comments, likes, and shares as time went on. Christin figured out that she could use the attention to help Kelsey feel better. A lot of people read and shared the story, so it seemed like a good idea to create a fundraiser to get another treatment at the salon for her daughter. She launched a campaign on GoFundMe and asked people to donate some money for the sake of her daughter. Back then, she had no clue if this was going to be a success or not.

Administrative Leave

The authorities did not forget to talk to Schaffen about it, of course. Sarah and Schaffen both got suspended from their duties at the Middletown Township Fire Department after things came to light. On paper, it said that the couple had been given an “administrative leave.”

Aunt Kelly Helps Kelsey Out

She did not get the chance to fetch her things from her father’s house before they legally removed her from there. Of course, Kelsey was not excited to do this since she would need to see Schaffen and Sarah first. Still, it was hard for her to give up so many of her things. Aunt Kelly knew that it was very hard for Kelsey, so she created a GoFundMe account to help Kelsey out with the dilemma she was going through.

However, what shocked them the most was the fact an anonymous contributor gave them $2,000 in just one go. This made the total amount $3,543. Whoa! But what should they do with all of this money?

Christin also knew that there was one person who deserved to take credit for this: Haylee Ann. Kelsey’s godmother was the one who showed up at the salon to set up a surprise for the young girl. Aside from this, she also kept the fundraiser in check and showed her love for Kelsey and Christin during some of the toughest moments in their lives. All the women posted for photos during Salon Day 2. At long last, it seemed like things were looking up for those involved in this story.

First Fault

How can you say that tennis is your favorite sport if you cannot commit to it like this guy could? He must be the biggest fan out there. We are just joking, of course. This is all wrong, so don’t even think about it.

Future Branding

Oreos are great little treats, but we think this woman took it way too far by doing this to her hair. No one could love them that much. At the very least, we hope that she got paid for doing such a thing.

Ariel Winter Too

Nope, it is not just people like us who go crazy with their hair. Celebrities like to experiment with it as well. Take a look at Modern Family star Ariel Winter who dyed hers pink for a music festival.

Noah’s Ark

We have so many questions for the person who worked on this masterpiece. Man, they probably used up so much gel and hairspray to make this a reality. The Noah’s Ark look is definitely unique, isn’t it?

Smurf Dipped

There is no other way to show that you like the Smurfs than by doing this. Sorry, we do not make the rules here. She likes the films so much that she decided to get her hair done in the same shade as them.

Hat Hair

This is Carl, and he wears a hat every single day. It is nice to have a trademark, but he wanted to spice things up a bit but not too much. This is the reason he got his hair shaped into a hat instead. Cool, huh?

Hillary-ous

It is normal to show your support for your presidential candidate during the campaign period. Do not be afraid to do this in an eye-catching way since it might help the cause even more. He knew this, which is why he showed his support for Hillary in this manner.

Up Or Down?

When you feel crafty, do not simply use anything you can find. This woman wanted to look unique for a wedding she was going to attend. We hope that she just left the zipper at the craft store. That was where it belonged, after all.

Chopper Chop

Can you guess what her boyfriend’s job is? He is a pilot! It was his birthday, which explains her incredible jet-settin’ hairdo. She has the top of the helicopter and the tail as well. Mind you, it actually spins!

Eyes At The Back Of His Head

As you can see, this photo shows us the guy who was on the losing end of a ridiculous bet. We are sure that this would scare off a bunch of kids and a handful of adults.

Carrot Top

She is a huge fan of the healthy-eating movement, and she wanted everyone in the world to know about it. The best way to show how much you love veggies is by attaching them to your head. Those are not real carrots but ones made out of her hair!
