I trusted ChatGPT instead of going to a salon — and I regret it
- During a snowstorm, a writer used ChatGPT to plan a DIY hair makeover instead of visiting a salon.
- The AI guided toner use and product choices, leading to increasingly mixed results as more prompts were issued.
- A second AI prompt resulted in conflicting advice, contributing to a final gray-toned hair outcome.
- With salons closed by a snowstorm, the writer attempted to fix the result with AI guidance, ending with a neutral blonde.
- The piece concludes AI can assist with planning and brainstorming but isn't a replacement for professional expertise.
- The author still finds value in AI for outlines, brainstorming, and quick checklists.
- Salons were unavailable due to weather, pressuring a DIY approach to appearance tasks.
- The experience served as a caution that AI lacks judgment and professional know-how for certain tasks.
- The author ultimately acknowledged AI's usefulness for planning but not for executing complex, safety-sensitive tasks.
