Barber Gives Teenager Bad Haircut, Karen Calls The Police

A Norton, Massachusetts barber at Boneheads BarberShop is going viral on TikTok after posting a clip of an angry mother calling the police on him over a "bad haircut." The video, showing the woman arguing while making the call, was posted to TikTok on Sunday by user @robbiethebonehead, also known as Robbie Rocco, where it has gathered over a million views in two days.

The 30-second video begins with Robbie storming out of his shop and aiming his phone's camera at the Karen, who is already calling the police. He says, "Look at this lady wasting my day for a bad haircut that I gave her son that he asked for." She points the phone screen at his face, showing a call to 911. Robbie then points at his storefront and advertises his shop, repeatedly calling the woman a "whackjob" as she asks him to get out of her face, still on the phone. She then retreats into the parking lot as Robbie laughs and says, "Look at her."

The barber described the incident in a follow-up video posted to his TikTok page that day. In the video, he explains how it was the 17-year-old's first time at the barbershop and he asked for a "high and tight" haircut. Specifically, he wanted the barber to use a number-two razor on the top, which the barber warned against as it would be "real short." The teenager insisted and the barber respected his decision, giving him the cut he asked for.

About 20 minutes later, his mother came back in threatening to call the police and sue Robbie over what she thought was a bad haircut. Robbie emphasizes that the teenager said nothing about disliking the haircut and even tipped him for his work.

Commenters have not been easy on the video's Karen. A top comment on the upload, with over 1,900 likes, reads, "Smh I hope she's fined for wasting people's time 🙄 it's literally hair at the end of the day. It'll grow back. If the service was bad, write a review."
