You screwed yourself big time by working on the visa waiver, you signed a legal document saying you wouldn't and you will waive your rights to any appeal or extension. You HAVE to apply for a visa to visit the US again but your chances of getting one would seem slim based on your previous and very recent violation. You can't apply for a work visa because an employer has to petition you first and your field of work and experience is not one that can be petitioned.

It's nothing against you but it's extremely difficult to move to the US and work/live, even more so with strikes against you. If you really want to come here I would suggest talking to an experienced immigration lawyer who can help you minimize the damage you have already done and stop you doing any more because clearly you have no clue on how things work.

What part is not clear for you? You were allowed to come visit the US for 90 days.. no working, no change of status to another one. That is the document you agreed to electronically, and then (perhaps) signed when you arrived.

By law, you MUST leave the US by your 90 day due date.

Now, as far as returning.
You have already broken the VWP rules by working, so you may not use it again.
Therefore, you will need a visa, even for tourist purposes. These are called "B-1/B-2" visas.

There are NO VISAS for working as a hairdresser. I don't know how much more clear it can be put. Sometimes you can't "just go" somewhere, because you want to. I would like to visit Cuba, for example, but I am not allowed to by law. So, I don't go.

In your first post, you mentioned the purpose of coming to the USA was to live with your USC friend. Is this friend of the opposite sex, and do you guys have plans to marry in the future?

We are both 20, I would be up for it but she dosnt want to because the situation is weird enough as it is. I havnt broken or signed anything no one but this forum knows I have worked, to be fair I havnt dont one client I have just been in the salon watching as its not busy so I still have a chance to come back on a visa?
What would you do if you was in my shoes? Theres a girl here I love but marridge isnt an option so I dont want to leave or dont want to be unable to never come here again.

Your story is changing. First you were definitely working, now you haven't been working but just observing. Have you gotten paid?

I think your best way forward would be to return to the UK before your 90 days is up. Then work on the relationship with the girl you're in love with, in hopes that it will head towards marriage. Have her come visit you in the UK. Whenever you guys decide marriage is what you both want, then do a K-1 fiance visa.

It's an open forum, the whole world can see what you post if they want. As for signing and breaking things, you have signed and if you have worked then you broke it. It's called the visa waiver program, you filled out ESTA and electronically signed a whole bunch of stuff you obviously didn't read.

It basically sounds like for the foreseeable future you will be, at best, nothing more than a tourist.

Sounds like you need to choose one or the other of those options. I'd opt for leaving while I'm legal and working on a legal way to come back for the purpose I want. If you stay, you'll find it's uncomfortable to live as an illegal.

You can't have it both ways. If marriage is not an option, I would leave by the time your 90 days are up if I were you. Listen to the head with a brain in it on this, not the other one.

Asking the same thing multiple times won't make the answer change.
