Telo Peluqueria Vuikz Haircuts Gone Wrong
Telo Peluqueria Vuikz Haircuts Gone Wrong is a viral TikTok series featuring a Colombian barber with neon green fang grillz giving customers absurd, deliberately botched haircuts. The clips originated on @telopeluqueria29 in 2020 and exploded in English-speaking TikTok in September 2021 after the @vuikz page began reposting edited versions with cursed skull emojis.
Overview
Telo Peluqueria Vuikz Haircuts Gone Wrong, sometimes called Menace Barber Haircuts, is a running series of TikTok clips shot inside the PELUQUERIA TELO BLACK barbershop in Cali, Colombia1. The main figure is a Black barber wearing neon green fang grillz who gives customers wildly bad haircuts, growls, and pulls stunts like eating things off their heads mid-cut3.
Two accounts drive the trend. The shop's own @telopeluqueria29 posts the raw footage, while the unaffiliated @vuikz page re-edits those clips with new sounds, English captions, and non-Unicode cursed skull emojis dropped into every video2. The @vuikz format, one weird haircut plus one glitchy emoji, is what most English-speaking viewers know the meme as3.

How to Use This Meme
The format is typically a short vertical clip of one absurd haircut, sped up, with a punchy caption and one of the cursed skull emojis floating in the corner. People sharing or stitching the videos often lean on the barber's own catchphrases and the green grillz close-up as the payoff shot2.
