A Tennessee hairdresser is facing criminal charges for allegedly threatening a customer with scissors worth more than $30, according to a report Monday.
The incident occurred on the night of September 13th in Memphis, Tennessee, police said in an incident report provided to FOX News Digital.
Officers responded to a business at 6870 Hillshire Dr. for an aggravated assault around 10:40 p.m.
Responding officers noticed there was no visible signage at the store that read “LUHV MY HAIR.” Officers found the victim inside the vehicle, but the suspect was not at the scene.

The victim said the hairdresser owed her an additional $30 from a “previous incident” four years ago.
The suspect threatened the victim with a pair of scissors and yelled, “Pay now and remember I put these scissors next to your face.”
