A hairstylist in São Paulo, Brazil, was stabbed in the back by a client after she complained about her haircut. The incident occurred on May 5 at Casa Ferrare salon when 27-year-old Lais Gabriela Barbosa da Cunha attacked 29-year-old Eduardo Ferrari with a kitchen knife after a dispute that began weeks earlier. Initially satisfied with her hair treatment on April 7, Lais later expressed dissatisfaction and demanded a refund, sending threatening messages to the salon. CCTV footage captured the moment she pulled out the knife and stabbed Eduardo, who then fled in shock. Security staff quickly intervened to restrain Lais, and she was later apprehended by police. Eduardo suffered a superficial wound and the salon emphasized the serious nature of the attack, urging authorities to reconsider the classification as minor assault.
