A Japanese hair salon was ordered to pay 240,000 yen in compensation this week after a customer sued the hairdresser for cutting her hair too short and dying it the wrong color.
A Tokyo court agreed with the 27-year-old cabaret club hostess's claim that the unflattering hairstyle had affected her ability to do her job, the English language Daily Yomiuri newspaper said Thursday.
"Hairstyles are a major influence on appearance," the paper quoted Judge Yuki Mizuno as saying in the ruling. "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."
The woman had claimed 6 million yen in compensation.
