Hair Jacked is a hidden camera show that aired on truTV in 2014. The show is hosted by actress and comedian Brooke Hogan. The premise of the show is fairly simple: an unsuspecting customer walks into a hair salon or barbershop expecting to receive a routine haircut, but the experience is anything but routine. In fact, their entire appearance is changed, much to their surprise and shock. The show's tagline is "You came in for a trim, but you'll leave feeling betrayed!"

Each episode of Hair Jacked follows a similar format. Hogan introduces the episode and explains that the show is about pranking people who think they're getting a haircut. A group of hairstylists and makeup artists are then introduced, and they explain that they'll be transforming the customers' looks in a way that they never expected.

The show then cuts to various clips of customers who walk into a salon or barbershop, expecting a normal haircut. However, they quickly realize that something strange is going on when the stylist starts giving them haircuts that are completely different from what they asked for. For example, a man who asked for a simple buzz cut might find himself with a wild mohawk or a neon-colored dye job. A woman who requested subtle highlights might walk out of the salon with bold, chunky streaks.

As the show goes on, it becomes clear that the hairstylists and makeup artists are not only changing the customers' hair, but also their entire appearance. They might add extravagant makeup, accessories, or even clothing to complete the transformation. In some cases, the transformation is so extreme that the customer doesn't even recognize themselves in the mirror.

Throughout each episode, Hogan comments on the customers' reactions and adds her own commentary to the clips. She often makes jokes at the customers' expense, but also seems genuinely amused by their shock and surprise.

At the end of each transformation, the hairstylists and makeup artists reveal themselves and explain that the whole thing was a prank. They then help the customers return to their original appearance, usually with a few laughs along the way.

Hair Jacked received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. Some praised the show for its fresh take on the hidden camera format, and many appreciated the creativity and skill displayed by the hairstylists and makeup artists. Others criticized the show for being mean-spirited and for making the customers feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Despite the criticism, Hair Jacked was relatively popular during its brief run on truTV. Its unique premise and combination of humor and shock made it stand out from other hidden camera shows at the time.

In conclusion, Hair Jacked is a hidden camera show that pranked unsuspecting customers at hair salons and barbershops by transforming their appearance in ways they never expected. Hosted by Brooke Hogan, the show featured skilled hairstylists and makeup artists who created shockingly different looks for customers, sometimes causing them to not even recognize their own selves. Though there were some criticisms for the show's mean-spiritedness, it was generally popular during its time on truTV.

Hair Jacked is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (17 episodes). The series first aired on October 27, 2014.
