Customer lodged a police report
When the customer noticed what had happened, she was shocked and began to cry.
Attempting to make the best of the situation, one of the hairstylists suggested to the customer to cut her hair short.
However, 8 World reported that she refused and was not willing to let the issue slide.
The customer then lodged a police report against the girl.
When the police arrived, they helped to negotiate an agreement between the customer and the girl’s mother.

According to South China Morning Post, a hairdresser also helped to attach hair extensions for the customer.
Customer compensated after girl cuts her hair
Thankfully, the police were able to broker an acceptable deal for both sides.
Seeing that the girl had done a considerable amount of damage to the customer’s hair, it’s only fair that she faces the consequences.
Hopefully, the young girl has learnt her lesson, and that her caretakers won’t allow her to repeat her actions.
