Apparent regulations that require at least one hairdressing shop on every single street in Tokyo, could now be on the verge of collapsing; after a disgruntled customer successfully sued her stylist for a supposedly horrible haircut.
The plaintiff was a 27-year-old cabaret club hostess, and despite only receiving 240,000 yen (1,160 pound) — following a 6 million yen compensation claim — the ruling could set a worrying precedent for the nation’s hordes of hairdressers.
Presiding Judge, Yuki Mizuno, explained the court’s decision by saying, “Hairstyles are a major influence on appearance. A hairstyle is a selling point for a cabaret club hostess and there was a period when her self-confidence was affected when she waited on customers.â€
The woman’s claim it seems was based on the issue of her haircut being shorter than she requested — and also the wrong colour. This allegedly leaked photo proving that the young woman may have been justified in her actions.

OMG! LOL! Just “wrong color and too short”?? Did she think that making this haircut a bit longer and different color will make her more attractive? I can’t understand the Court – this is horrible no matter the color and length 🙂

That’s a photo of a Japanese comedian.
She’s pretty damn funny, too… even if she has got freaky sense of fashion.
