Brazil
A visit to the hairdresser does not always produce the desired result. However, in the Brazilian city of São Paulo, a dissatisfied customer reacted very drastically. She stabbed ‘culprit’ Eduardo Ferrari between the shoulder blades with a knife.

LOOK. Woman stabs hairdresser with knife after ‘bad haircut’
Lais Gabriela Barbosa da Cunha had treated herself to a new cut a month ago. According to the staff, the woman then responded enthusiastically. She even took it out on her social media.
A few days later, however, the atmosphere changed. Da Cunha demanded her money back and even threatened to “burn down” the hairdresser. “He chopped away with thinning shears. I now look like Cebolinha (a cartoon character from the Brazilian series ‘Monica and friends’, ed.),” she said in a video.
Knife from handbag
On Tuesday, Da Cunha unexpectedly showed up again at the hair salon. She demanded a quick solution, but received no response. A security officer was already keeping an eye on things.
Surveillance images show how the woman then strategically takes up position behind Ferrari. Suddenly she grabs a knife from her handbag and stabs him once in the back. Afterwards, a colleague is quick to disarm her.
“Handman if necessary”
Yet the wild fury had not yet subsided. She hurled homophobic accusations at Ferrari and threatened him with death. “If necessary, I will hire a hitman,” he even said.
Fortunately, the victim suffered no more than a scratch. “Our legal team is following this case closely,” Ferrari said in a short statement. “This should not be kept silent. An assassination attempt is always serious. We will also look at how we can better protect our case.”
