A woman claims a repair on a United plane caused hair loss.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s fairly common for passengers to complain about turbulence, fees or poor service, but Karen Reed says her United flight from San Diego to Houston caused hair loss.<\/p>\n

The tangled situation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reed was recently traveling with her two children, when a maintenance worker had to fix the overhead bin. According to Reed, a worker used superglue which dripped all over her hair.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe put super glue on a piece of plastic trim and put it on the overhead bin above me and proceeded to drip it everywhere,\u201d Reed told ABC News. Reed complained, but says the worker ignored her.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was cleaning the seat and I told him the glue was still dripping from overhead but that\u2019s how careless he was,\u201d said Reed.<\/p>\n

Her cushion was replaced to deal with the glue that had fallen, but Reed says the glue kept dripping.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this moment I\u2019m sitting on super glue, I can feel the clumps of glue in my hair, I\u2019m tired and I\u2019m ready to get home,\u201d she said. <\/a>– Click to tweet<\/p>\n

When Reed got home she said she had no choice but to cut her hair. She says she chopped nine inches off to remove the sticky mess.<\/p>\n

Filing a complaint<\/strong><\/p>\n

United Airlines did apologize and offered miles and a gift card.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Reed filed a complaint with the flight attendant, the gate supervisor and even wrote a letter to the United execs and included a picture of her hair.<\/p>\n

United offered her 40,000 miles and a $100 American Express gift card, but Reed says that\u2019s not enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor what they offered me, they\u2019re not even giving me a round trip ticket, basically their customer service sucks,\u201d said Reed.<\/p>\n

United Responds<\/strong><\/p>\n

The airline did offer and apology. \u201cWe\u2019re sorry about what happened, we reached out and spoke directly to Miss Reed. We appreciate her business and we\u2019d like to welcome her back,\u201d said United Airlines spokesman Charlie Hobart.<\/p>\n
