Anne Heche visited a Venice Beach hair salon and 'randomly' bought a red wig just hours before she plowed her Mini Clubman through a house, the business owner has revealed.
Richard Glass, who runs Glass Hair Design, said the actress was acting like 'a sweet little girl', was 'very pleasant' and seemed sober during the flying visit at 10.35am on Friday.
He posted a picture of the pair and her bizarre purchase on his Instagram page but later admitted he originally mistook her for Orange Is the New Black star Lori Petty.
It comes as Heche remains bedbound in a Los Angeles hospital in a coma following the horrific car crash in the Mar Vista area of the city.
The 53-year-old actress is in an 'extreme critical condition' with a 'significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention', according to her agent.
Her car erupted in an explosive fireball after driving straight through the building around 11am on Friday, with her being dragged out by hero firefighters who stretchered her into an ambulance.
Moments earlier she had pranged her Mini on the wall of a garage nearby and was snapped by a witness with a red-capped bottle that appeared to be vodka in the cup holder.

The 53-year-old suffered horrific burns during the collision and was recorded being dragged out of the mangled wreck by firefighters after it burst into flames in Los Angeles around 11 a.m.

Sharing the picture on Instagram, Glass wrote: 'So I met @anneheche today and she purchased a #redwig so random. I love Venice Beach.' He said he told her the wig was not cut, styled or washed but she did not care.
He later told the LA Times the actress 'grabbed my face' and cuddled it before asking if they had worked together in the past, which he said they had not.
The hairdresser said the whole encounter had been 'so strange' and 'very, very random' and he returned to cutting his other client's hair as they discussed Heche's relationship with Ellen DeGeneres.
Heche was still fighting for her life in hospital in 'extreme critical condition' after being trapped in the burning wreckage of her car for around 30 minutes.
A representative for Heche said yesterday: 'At this time, Anne is in extreme critical condition. She has a significant pulmonary injury requiring mechanical ventilation and burns that require surgical intervention.'
The spokesman added in the statement: 'She is in a coma and has not regained consciousness since shortly after the accident.'
Earlier on Monday, newly released footage showed the moments before the crash in which Heche almost mowed down a woman.
She was recorded speeding down an alleyway and narrowly missing the pedestrian as she walked along the sidewalk in Mar Vista.
The woman, who has not been identified, whipped around in astonishment as the blue Mini Clubman raced past just before 11am.

Pictures and video showed her looking dazed at the wheel after the first crash, with a witness capturing her with a bottle with a red top on it in her car. It is not clear what was in the container but it looked like a vodka bottle
It comes as police insiders revealed Heche, who was intubated with horrific burns after the terrifying crash, is set to be investigated over the 90mph smash.
LAPD officers are poised to sample her blood from her hospital bed within the coming weeks to get to the bottom of whether she was under the influence while behind the wheel.
They said the minimum the actress could face is hit-and-run charges for the garage crash which saw her quickly take off despite being filmed by shocked witnesses.
A picture taken by a witness before the crash showed her in her blue Mini Clubman with a bottle with a red top on it looking glassy eyed.
Earlier, a somber image emerged of Lynne Mishele watching her house and 'an entire lifetime of possessions' burn down before her eyes.
A GoFundMe page set up for her by members of her westside Los Angeles community raised more than $50,000 in a single day after
