Así nos luce el pelo
Doe this mean to show you true colors? or that's the consequence of your
actions?

"that's the consequence of our actions". Must be negative.
Talking about the economic crisis in Spain "Elegimos de presidente a Zapatero y así nos luce el pelo" Choosing bad "El invirtió todo el dinero en Madoff y así le luce el pelo" "Ella pensó que casándose con un famoso sería feliz y así le luce el pelo" Saludos

Exacto
Sometimes it means a social situation: "los jóvenes de ahora no respeta a los mayores, y así nos luce el pelo" "Ahora todos quieren ser políticos para recibir sobornos, y así nos luce el pelo" Saludos

Así es, Sosia y Poli.
Poli, just on the expression you used, Oxford Superlex gives: te vas a/se va a enterar de lo que vale un peine (Esp fam) you’ll/he’ll soon find out what’s what (colloq) (Moliner also has it with "de")
