Karen haircut

Entitled customer's coif

A Karen haircut is a short, layered style—often with an angled bob, highlighted streaks, and a "speak to the manager" energy.

The cut became a visual shorthand for the Karen stereotype: a middle-aged white woman prone to entitled outbursts.

She walked in with the full Karen haircut and immediately demanded a refund.
