NEW DELHI (AFP) - An Indian salon has been ordered to pay more than US$271,300 (S$366,700) in damages to a model for a botched haircut which she claimed caused a "severe mental breakdown".
Ms Aashna Roy went to the salon at a top New Delhi hotel in 2018 and asked staff to trim a conservative 10cm from her tips, according to a judgement by the city's consumer court.
"However, to the utter shock and surprise of the complainant, the hairdresser chopped off her entire hair, leaving only 4 inches from the top and barely touching her shoulders," it added.
The court determined that as Ms Roy had already established a career lending her skills to advertisements for hair products, the botched haircut had led to "severe mental breakdown and trauma".
......
"She lost her expected assignments and suffered a huge loss which completely changed her lifestyle and shattered her dream to be a top model."
