The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) said the model went through "severe mental breakdown and trauma" due to the negligence of the hotel salon and finally lost her job.
A bad haircut has cost a luxury hotel chain Rs 2 crore, with the consumer court ordering damages to a model who had complained that her dreams were "shattered" and she lost assignments because of the hotel salon's negligence.
The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) on Thursday agreed that the woman "lost her expected assignments and suffered a huge loss which completely changed her lifestyle and shattered her dream to be a top model" because of a haircut against her instructions three years ago, according to news agency ANI.
"There is no doubt that the women are very cautious and careful with regard to their hair. They spend a handsome amount on keeping the hair in good condition. They are also emotionally attached to their hair. The complainant was a model for hair products because of her long hair. She has done modelling for VLCC and Pantene," said the panel's president RK Agrawal and member SM Kantikar in the order cited by ANI.
The commission said the model went through "severe mental breakdown and trauma" due to the negligence of the hotel salon and finally lost her job. The woman was also working as a senior management professional and earned a decent income, said the court.
