He had a bad hair day.

A California man who missed his hair appointment was so ticked off that he trashed the salon and threatened the staff — with the entire snippy rampage caught in shocking video footage.

Greg Marriott, 27, was more than an hour late to the Great Clips outlet in the San Diego County city of Santee on Jan. 29, arriving just before closing and told he was too late, KUSI-TV News reported.

Marriott was so put off he started knocking hair products to the ground and threatening customers and the two women working at the salon — calling them ugly and threatening to knock the glasses off the face of one worker. He also threatened “to get my lesbian friends” to come pound the women, the video shows.

“Go step outside!” he screams at a customer. “Go step outside!”

“You need to leave,” one of the employees is heard saying.

Marriott did eventually leave in a huff, but cops launched a search and picked him up on Feb. 5 thanks to multiple tips from the public, with police charging him with assault with a deadly weapon, vandalism and violating parole, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office said in a release.

According to a report by KFMB-TV, Marriott was on parole for a 2023 conviction stemming from another assault on workers and patrons at an area Jack in the Box after he couldn’t pay for his meal.

He was accused in that incident of throwing a drink at an employee, using racial slurs and striking a customer so hard that he knocked her to the ground.


  According to news reports, Greg Marriott was already on parole for trashing a Jack in the Box when he went nuts in a California hair salon.

The outlet said Marriott missed his first court appearance two days after the Great Clips arrest, with his lawyer telling KFMB that it was due to medical reasons.

“If they’re just refusing because they don’t want to go, the judge can order extraction, which means sheriffs remove them forcibly,” defense lawyer Gretchen von Helms told the outlet. “But judges typically don’t order that immediately, especially if there are mental or physical health concerns.”
