A mother says her £3,000 holiday to Tenerife was left in tatters before she even left the UK.

Colline Rees, 37, sent to get her eyebrows done but the end result left her too embarrassed to pose for family photos.

She said: ‘I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. All my close friends and family were saying I look like something out of the Angry Birds game.

‘We had been really looking forward to it because we always just go on holiday in Wales. We were so excited to be able to fly somewhere new.

‘If someone else looked like that, you’d do a double take. I was devastated, it stopped me from enjoying the holiday.

‘I tried to do my best for the children to put on a brave face but I had to sit back and let everyone else have fun without me.

‘We have to work hard to go on holiday and it was just destroyed.’

Colline regularly gets her eyebrows done in her home town of Llanelli, North Wales.

She suffered from alopecia as a teenager and is still affected by it now with her hair growing back slower than normal.

She has an eyebrow wax to boost her confidence but on the day she went to the salon her normal beautician was too busy so a trainee did them. But then she saw herself in the mirror.

She said: ‘I was mortified, absolutely horrified. I said to the girl “Are you kidding me, is this a joke?”.’

Colline said the worker apologised and that she had messed up.  She added: ‘I was in hysteria, crying “Is anyone going to fix this?”.’

Another beautician stepped in and said a bit of tint would help, but the second attempt lefter feeling like she had two slugs drawn above her eyes.

She tried to wipe the black dye off but it was too late.

It took nine months for Colline’s eyebrows to grow back.
