A woman in her 40s who asked for a refund by saying, "I will post on the Internet" because I was not satisfied with the procedure I received at the beauty salon, was acquitted.
According to the legal circles today (7th), the 22nd criminal case (Judge Lee Kyung-rin) of the Seoul Central District Court acquitted A (41), who was charged with attempted blackmail.
Mr. A received a consultation from her staff at a beauty salon in Gangnam-gu, Seoul in February of last year and received a 'dyeing package' treatment worth 180,000 won.
However, a few days after the procedure, as he was drying his hair, he found that his hair had become ball-like and tangled.
Mr. A immediately went to another hairdressing salon to cut his tangled hair and received a 'hair clinic' treatment worth 100,000 won.
In the process, Mr. A, who was told that "the hair was dry and rough," thought that the hair had been damaged due to the previous dyeing procedure, and decided to ask the hairdresser for a refund.
Mr. A made 25 calls to the hairdressing salon where he received the dyeing procedure, but there was no response.
She succeeded in making a call in four days due to 'restriction of caller ID', but was told that it was difficult to get a refund from the hairdresser.
Mr. A, who received the non-refundable notice, said, "I have a bad impression on this shop (beauty salon) and I have no choice but to post it on my blog or the Internet" and "I will file a (report) with the Consumer Protection Agency." It was brought to trial on the side's accusation.

The court ruled, "The defendant believed that he had damaged his hair due to the dyeing procedure, so it seems that he requested a refund."
He said, "After 25 phone calls, I protested when I heard that there was no problem with the procedure in the phone conversation with the beauty salon." It is difficult to admit that they tried to extort money through intimidation and failed.”
