Kyselica is a Dutch beauty YouTuber who mostly makes videos about historical hairdos, but she had also made a video showing her subscribers how to thread their own eyebrows. The salon took a screengrab from that video, enlarged it to poster size, and used it to advertise their eyebrow threading services. Across the ocean in the Netherlands, Kyselica only found out because some fans recognized her, and asked her if she was working with the salon or if she even knew her image was in its window. She wasn\u2019t; she didn\u2019t. She sent an email, and never heard back. \u201cIt may still be there,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>In the six years since, Kyselica has seen her image used to sell other people\u2019s products over and over. She\u2019s been the face of hairstyling tools, hair thickening products, and beauty pills. \u201cThe products are always kind of dodgy,\u201d she says. Most recently, it was clip-in bangs sold by a Chinese merchant on Amazon. Kyselica decided to publicize her problem, and made a video about it: \u201cI Ordered My Own Bangs Off Amazon &#x1f914; &#x1f645;&#x200d;&#x2640;\u201d. You see, Kyselica\u2019s bangs, which are her signature look, aren\u2019t actually clip-ins. They grow from her scalp.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first time Lucy Kyselica\u2019s face was stolen, it turned up in the window of a beauty salon in small-town America.
